apart from wordnerdery, my other favourite hobbies are: things that are wilfully naff and sniggering at backward foreigners

Is his face real?

Nope further south than that but what about the first question Isty? What is the record for the most unattainable £1?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Thu Sep 02, 2010 1:46 pm

i reckon 2320 is about the most i've seen for a pound, you know it is a hiding to nothing when it whizzes past 2k. but it is a good pointer to just go for a big word.
the spoons on whitehall?

Beryl had been to Angel last I looked.

As to where, I have a vague recollection of getting £3 out of the Brittania when the prize was already at about 1800 when out with Fotherz a while ago so it could be there. (It didn't pay, but the barmaid was as good as gold and coughed up) - but that must be a month ago so presumably would have come down a little more than that.

How about the Crosse Keys?

By Bob himself no doubt probably with Fotherz in tow. (Unless it was Beryl - some of the scores she has put in are phenomenal...)

Unsurprisingly next to my office.

Gerroff moy lahnd!!

The £1 position seems to either move down slowly, or jump about erratically on this. Have seen it go from 1700+ down to 750 in the space of two or three games.

Definitely different modes depending how burned it has been.

Definitely throws in a 750 every now and again if it hasn't been killed, quite often with a £2 not to far after. But then it will shoot up to 1700 or something.

However if it has been stung, then may not throw any goodies at you.
