I enabled IRC status, but it's not displaying... Does it only work if I use the Java app? I'm using mIRC...

He should go buy $75k worth of scratch/win lottery tickets instead. That way he has something to do when he's flat broke, and living on the streets.

Was there ever a "what-happened-next" thread posted for this or did he just fall off the face of the Earth?

Not long to go now. But to be honest I think it has to be a set up. I think he is going to lose everything because if Sky One are going to be following him for a bit after this then it will be a lot more exciting watching someone with nothing, than someone with £150,000 because it's not like he's rich and going to be going out doing crazy things, you can't even get a nice house down south for that much!

Well, he just won $260,000, not bad.
He picked red by the way, which is what I thought he should do!Steve

How much money did Sky give him for the programmes though? Surely that would've been plenty anyway...

Apparently they didn't pay him anything. But I'm not so sure about that.
