I nominate the Swinger, in Bulwell, Nottingham. If you can get past the gang of teenagers with dogs who hang around outside (making having a fag an extra dice with danger), and get through the boarded up entrance door you will find a pub that appears entirely occupied by members and extended members...

Blimey! Is a eulogy only to be used for a real person, and a unicorn is a mythical creature?

Or is it actually the title of a song by Tangerine Dream or suchlike? :)

Re: JPMs Catchphrase- on Ladbrokes website

Anyone tried this??? also there is JPM hangman and news quiz, easy in demo mode , not sure about real money play though And for the record, just so you don't get suckered in, the real SWP catchphrase is sh** as well. And plays nothing like that demo. And Hangman 3 is pretty mean as well. Look for e...

This was my best earner on 54, and I nearly always find games that pay entertaining funnily enough... but cometh the update cometh the spoileroos, and when the going gets tough I get going. It's definitely been tightened up, and some of the old easier categories eg People have become hazardous. This...

I've learnt more in an afternoon with these guys than I have in 20+ years on my own. Wise words I'm sure, but I suppose I'm wondering how this could happen. If you've been playing the games for 20+ years, and given the knowledge you display in your other posts, you surely know all there is to know ...

It's just for fun and breaking even's a bonus. However, in the last 2 1/2 years we've put £2,675 in and got £2,995 out which is a good effort given the machine's payout percentages It's also a highly commendable dedication to keeping detailed records] Ive started keeping a record as well.

Totally missed this one and am sure I'm not the only one. Had a few games and found it pretty dick dastardly from the off. Plus added Tarrant irritant. Still, I reckon 55 is still the best update yet and there's (finally) a good mix of games.

Anyone ever had an offer of a £1, refused it, and then got a monster win? In other words, is the offer a pretty certain indication of the figure you'll get anyway?

Thanks for you efforts elcondor. The only snags I have got with the Bell Fruits is the bonus doesn't work in Treble Top (its supposed to be F). And I can't get the endgame to work in Every Second Counts. The keys that key A and B in the main game (V and B) dont appear to work in the endgame. A grea...
