Spoons are most certantly tightening up. I had a pre-warning about 4 months ago when I created that topic on here.

thats because some toolers were doing them in, a tall white guy 30 ish, indian fella 30 ish about 5'8" and they had 2 different people with em at 3 otther places.

they were cutting the padlocks on the bottom and then had the keys but they were changing the padlocks over for their own ones so could re-hit the site

that's spot on mate. Clever fucks really and admitably I know of some people that have done it. I dunno why it wasn't thought of earlier tbh, maybe due to the release of the sceptre key.

But you are right, it is toolers that have made things so mack.

Surely not - I live in Southport and never had that much heat.
And i know players who were playing those nationwide without an issue.

Why would I lie? Is it lings or summat? People empty these played properly there were loads there. A blonde bitch mid 40s came sniffing half hour later a van full of heavies came! I don't lie mate I'm not a child and don't need to lie to get mates

Pub watch is not for the purpose of barring customers who win on the machines, it should be for anti social/abusive/law breaking customers etc.

I had a mgr that put it forward I should be on pub watch, fortunately someone else new me and pointer out that playing units is not pub watch material.

As for MarHar, mostly the place is ok, I forget the names, but last time I was there I believe a cluedo and an alien were there??

Cluedo was a giggle, staff did not mind, I always bought a soft drink, no hassle. The worse place was the italian pub(?)/ food place(?) with the red. The guy I was with spotted it, went in, and got double top, for which one was the 105....barred for life lol.

As for Nuneaton, the Indian restaurant which had the Vortex was great for 3 hits.....now they won't even let me buy a naan bread :(

lol :P


but seriously folks ,,,,,,,,, if there's one thing i never ever scrimp on ,,,, its food ,,,,,,,,,, whoever im out with for the day ,,,,,,,, eat what you fancy ,,,,,,,,,, you want steak ? have it ,,,,,,,,,,, if we spend 40 quid out the float on food , so what ,,,,,,,,,,,, you gotta take care of yourself ,,,,,,,,,,,, and if you cant treat yourself to propper food each day , its a sad affair ,,,,,


some players literally starve themselves all day ,,,,,,,,,, and wait till they get home ,,,,,,,,,, we had a player years ago in leicester called rob who would never ever spend on food.

his mentality was such , that his last pound could pull him out the shit on a fruit , but not if he wasted it on food ,,,,,,,,,,,, what a dick lol


i was on a train with him once for the day ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and bust-a-move2 had just been released on platinum for playstation 1 for £19.99 ,,,,,,,,,,,, so i bought it .

showed it rob ,,,,,,,,,,,,, he said ''top game , i fancy it myself ,,,,,, i really do want it but cant really afford it at the mo'' ,,,,,,,,,,,, fair enough i thought ,,,,,,,,,, till he pulled out £600 in notes on him ,,,,, wtf lol .

you cant afford 20 quid out of 600 ??????????

no , because i could get involved in a bad fruit , or roulette ,,,,, and that last 20 could pull it all back ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, fffffuuuuuuucccckkkkkk


the gamblers mentality never ceases to amaze .
Little discipline = BIG issue

Agree with lee 100 per cent on this, all my playing mates are the same, u want a 5 pound sanwhich from M and S u have it. I dont care, when it comes to food and drink have wot u want. i mean buying DP chmapange in a boozer yeah, i gota draw the line there lol. yeha but if u want a steak have a fucking steak. we are pro players, we all got money and if like lee said u spend 20-30 quid on a few nice meals who cares
