VB and EWQ: 54250, The Standing Order, Stevenage.

Has anyone beaten that?

hmm

doubt it

Well VB does it

45,000 in the Spoons on the Kingsway. Beats the/my previous best of about 40,000 in one of Glasgow's Yateses. (Yatesi?)

Never had any problem from punters looking on. Did have a guy in the Spoons/Lloyds in Maidenhead* the other night asking if it was "ok if he shouted out the answers" to Itbox Soccer. Fine by me, but it got a bit creepy so I scarpered.

i got bored with the thing, withdrew about 20 quid....still waiting...

I see this project is going well. Based on current numbers, We should have access to the Deal or No Deal question sets by the summer of 2050, if you'd like to mention that to your kids in your wills.

heh yeah having done some googling I realise he has a bit of a cult following

Can't make next Monday I'm afraid.

We sometimes go to the quiz in The Primary on Sunday night. You're not the bloke who does that are you?

Any opinions on this? I joined last week. There's Boggle- and WordUp-type games, you pay 60p or a quid or whatever for a 2-player game and if you win you get slightly less than double as a prize. (i.e. they take commission) If you win they just keep promoting you through the levels. e.g. win at Begi...

wether something else i was thinking about is if the spoonses signed a contract with gamesnet or paragon there would be a good reason to go into those ghastly places. also Angie, i play in the same way as you] I prefer itboxes.
