You could have put a spoiler alert on the Murder on the Orient Express revelation. Thanks for that.

New record - £15.90 (unless any claims to the contrary)

Not wanting to make any judgements, but the gambler beside it was "Heroes of Ibrox" which is not one I've seen before and may give an indication of the establishment's regular clientele (I should add this was nowhere near Ibrox).

Playing The Chase, at the stage of just tapping the screen, so not really taking in the questions and answers, when the following came up:

Which of these is a moderator of the Fruitchat forum?

Cardinal Richelieu was one of the answers, didn't see the other two, or what the correct answer was.

I was in a Walmart in America a few years ago and asked one of the staff "Where are the toilets?"

They replied "I'm sorry, but we don't sell toilets here".

I hope this momentous occasion was marked by the actual Noel Edmonds appearing and handing over the money. To be honest, if Noel Edmonds had appeared, I would have been less surprised than when the £20 came up, as I have always known that Noel Edmonds does exist. Previously I had never won more tha...

That would be one word to describe the feeling. Incredulity may be more apt.

I'm claiming a new record of £14.90 now (although it was on £14.50 when I started).

One question - do we know what the maximum prize is? I saw one on a paragon at £11+ today (first time i have seen over £10) which went back to £5 once won. Is it like Eggheads (i.e. top prize of £20.10)? What is the highest seen?. No one answered me back then, so I am going to claim a new record of...

Old old question. What is the national airline of Belgium? (no, you won't get this one) Answer: Meat. Until I read this post, it honestly never occurred to me that there had been a cock up with this question. I had just assumed that MEAT was perhaps some acronym for an obscure Belgian airline from ...

That might explain something. Played a couple on gamesnets today and each one I played had a jackpot of £5. As it was labelled as a new game on the menu I thought that perhaps I was the first person to play them. I won one and crashed and burned in the Head to Head on the other. One question - do we...

Bizarrely, Kick Ass 2 features a Paragon (switched off) about 46 minutes in. There is a handwritten note attached to it that I couldn't read, but don't think it was an 'Out of Order' notice.

I assume the bar it was in is meant to be located in New York.

Some glaring omissions on your own CV there, grecian! I needed 11,000 points for the endgame, something I had seen maybe twice before. I reckon you could count the number of times that I have had the £20 box in the last two on one hand. To be honest, I never knew how the endgame worked and whether i...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner. But is it cp999 or Northern Monkey........ Often the most simple things are overlooked, as has been the case here. It is indeed a simple case of DOND (original version). Although cp999 earns a commendation for identifying yet another machine with a single jack...
