Fruit Machine Chat

gameknot.com used to be pretty good (not played in a fair while myself though)

First off I would agree entirely with the ridiculousness of the alleged rule changes, however they are in fact proposed rules for a new game that is a variant rather than alterations to the existing game rules. I would question if there is any such thing as a competitive word game that truly embrace...

1. Tomatoes (~130mtpa)
2. Bananas (~72mtpa)
3. Grapes (~67mtpa)
4. Apples (~64mtpa)
5. Oranges (~62mtpa)

Over to NM for getting the most or harry for getting No.1 or Lugsy for completing the list.

1. ?
2. Bananas (~72mtpa)
3. Grapes (~67mtpa)
4. ?
5. Oranges (~62mtpa)

mtpa= million tonnes per annum

3 out of 5, a pretty good start.

On a fruity topic, what are the top 5 most popular* fruits worldwide?

For the purposes of this question popularity is measured in terms of production in tonnes per year.

Did she jump from it?

Could the internet be counted as a machine? If so then it certainly covers a far greater area than anything else.

Although I expect the LHC is the answer on the card.

I'll be there as a second string token SWPer. No idea what anyone looks like or any numbers, but I'll just keep an eye out for the big group of people with pockets full of pound coins and take it from there. Of course introducing myself by stating 'I see your trousers are bulging, I presume you are ...

One and the same.

Next big crawl is Blackpool-Carlisle-Glasgow-Edinburgh-Newcastle-Leeds (as long as work don't cancel my holiday again). Other than that I am planning on a couple of London day trips seeing as out of the 1700ish pubs ticked off my list only about a dozen have been in the capital. I was more expecting...

Jeff is a top bloke on Countdown, chats with contestants in between games and is in my opinion as good a host for the show as could be asked for. If anyone is going on then my only advice would be to steer clear of any word games based on Chambers dictionary (scrabble Word-Up etc) as countdown uses ...

I've seen a dozen or so of the 3 option paragons, first one I saw was at least a couple of months back. I guess it is a test site of sorts as the vast majority of machines have not moved over to this system.

no improvement on that excessively impressive hi score word, but I did see a high score that will take some beating... 455,019,527 Incidently and unsurprisingly I guess that the machine asking for 8,000,000+ for a £1 win is also a record (it may have been asking for more, the display was a bit scram...
