WB Sir Linesman. I don't think the Chief has much of a future as a bookmaker.

We'll see after the 100jps are implemented. Early next year that will be no doubt.

Originally I got told April gone!

There is always going to be a few bits to make pocket money on. But gone the days when I used to put doors to doors shifts in playing loads of machines!

I've just deleted a huge rant about the end of fruit chat but when I read it back I just realised it boils down to one thing...

Moderators over moderating.

This is fruitchat not fruity Chat, what you and the chief get upto on the road is between you pair, nobody's interested in betting how long the main man can last on the job.

who did the chief open this private book for? sounds like total bullshit. "hey Redlinesman, I've just opened a book on how long "it" will last, minimum wager £100k". "sorry chief, I've only got million pound notes since we've been emptying the £70k jackpot gamestecs, plus do we really want to take each other's money?

Hi guys,

Just got in from a 16 hour shift and a bit tired.

I'll leave what the Chief is betting on as open to interpretation but he's a good bookie you know!

It's only for fun but the team like to have a little flutter with him, just 50 or a ton really.

Months elapsed is per calendar month until first instance of chip - so October looks a bad bet as it's nearly over! The Chief isn't daft you know!

I've had a ton on the 33/1 shot so I just hope The Chief doesn't allow a security breach to avoid a payout!


Kind Regards,

Sir Linesman

What a daft fellow you are linesman.

I guess he's talking about the new dodgy method. Two chaps in the services. One boffing his arse off! Watched me leave as well. The Chief didn't want to risk anything!

Care to fill us in on what you've been emptying over the last 2-3 years Linesman?

Super hold, Live the Dream....then the trail goes cold....you must have several things that have been and gone since then.

Or would that just make it too painstakingly obvious who you are?
