Never had the "double press" issue myself. Had plenty of misaligned screens which makes it pretty difficult.

This is more of a "BBQ Suaces" issue.

OK, I see what you're talking about now, having experienced it today. A bit sneaky I suppose, but really no different from the original that asked you to spot the different cover out of 20 (?) images with no discernable differences as far as I could see (although you still had a 1 in 20 chance with ...

How reliable do you think your source is?

that is the 147 of SWP. In keeping with the 147 of SWP theme, is anyone willing to claim a 180 on any version of Bullseye (or a 170 checkout)? I realise that it wouldn't be that difficult, but it just occurred to me that I've never actually tried. May I be the first to report a 180 on Bullseye? Sad...

Apologies if my reply sounded brusque. Do you mean they couldn't hold £80.00? My book of tricks says that the tubes held £110.00 full. No problem with reply. I genuinely don't know what the tubes held, hence my doubt. What I do know is that I never played one with that much money in it. I'm also fa...

I have no doubt that a bank of £80.00 could be built up. That wasnt my problem - it is the "80 pound coins" element of the story that I was seeking confirmation on.

A "Concentration" in the Romford Odeon paying out £80 pound coins? Anyone want to confirm the liklihood or possibility of this? (I'll choose to ignore the inconsistencies between this tribute and the interview on his official site) It just annoys me when people choose to embellish a story ...

This is indeed far more sinister. I witnessed it first hand last night on one of the new Open Blacks. I won £22 on a variety of games and had therefore long spent my initial couple of credits (so that wasn't the issue). On trying to collect the £22 the machine paid out £14 of the bank but moved the...

I'm pretty sure it's been discussed here before, about getting questions about songs that are playing in the background. Something that happens considerably rarely in my experience - I would say I could count the number of times on one hand. But tonight I had a new one, which I expect is even rarer....

Not a jackpot, but I feel that a £7.20 cashpot win on Golden Boot II is worthy of reportage. Perhaps I gave up on this a bit early. Played a Paragon this evening, which was so disturbingly poor, I even checked the Word Soup scoreboard to see if dmac had been in while on tour (he's been everywhere)!...

I'm the face of the Flagship Centre, don't you know!

I've noticed that the HOPPER ERROR displays (with the large red cross in the middle) rather curiously clear themselves after about 2 minutes and then the machine continues as if nothing has happened (apart from it having absconded with your bank). On older Paragons, when you got that error, it stay...

I'm sure it will not surprise you to learn that I lost the 20p.

That's wonderful Fotherz - keep it up. Wikipedia disagrees with my classification, but I remember the layers of the atmosphere in reverse alphabetical order - troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, ionosphere, exosphere). This is something I've never bothered to learn, but this is good. I needed it...
