Indeed, but I'm going away with non-players so I'll be remaining sociable and not playing myself.
However, I'm sure I'll meet up with Gary C for a quick pint and if I'm not mistaken, Matt's going to be there too (Don't try the fruits in Bognor for a few days after that weekend!!)
Still, plenty of beer, should be good craic!
Was It A Dream???
Bad beat that one PMK, good job you were going halves most of the way.
Talking of losing money I had a nightmare start to the year. Last Friday I lost £115, Monday I lost £68 and on Tuesday I lost a further £139. Thats a total of £322 during my first 3 'playing' days of the year. My last day of 2007 I made a £146 profit so $hit happens.
Am I disappointed? Hell yeah, but I ain't gonna beat myself up over it - its gone but it can be made back..............slowly but surely.
The reason I lost so much was because too many machines are starting to take £10/15+ for a board, spinning twice then landing on a ? and having to CoB. Too many Vortex's taking the pi$$, showing off a tenner, dying on SS, carrying on redding yet costing a further £50 for a $hitty flat top, then another £20 for another flat top, Where the f*ck are the £70/105 tops??
To make matters worse they've swapped a VIU for a Quid Vicious.........marvellous.
IMO £35 jps have taken the amusement out of AWP's. Fruities used to be fun and in the days of £15/25 jps they were good earners with good features and a fair bit of skill was involved.
Nowadays its just force, force, force and a hell of alot of good fortune, I've had one IM in the last 12 months and although I don't play as much as I used to that isn't good enough or fairplay.
I ain't no mug, I've been playing for long enough to know the score, so I'm giving it 6 months or 5 'playing' days and if my look doesn't change I will call it a day as I have a comfortable income.
Sorry for boring you if you read all of this post.

And the smugest, glibest reply award of The Jammies 2008 will probably go to.................Poker Pete!
PMK, that was a great posting. A savage portrayal of the flip side of Deal or no Deal. It sounds like some new anti-player BFG shite %pocket hiding technology. You put up with it and then put up with the smug missiles that were fired after the event. Looks like you've got the minerals to survive.
Shocking the extent to which this can happen. I might do a PM about % pockets and DOND AWPS +variants.
Sometimes you do have to ask where the % gets hidden.
Veronicas is ok if you're 18 and horny and lairy and ** Mad For it ** **Go All the Way **. When you get to old fart age, you get all cynical and see it as paying to be in the middle of the biggest advertising, touting battlefield in the universe.
**SPOILERS FOR 18-30 PACKAGE HOLIDAY TO PLAYA DE LAS AMERICAS FOLLOW**
Looky, looky, fooky, fooky off! Booze cruise. Don't get me started. The oily rep will tell tales of the orgasm game or the tit fuck game! LMFAO! False advertising!!! Banana boats, cocktails, Alice Deejay in Linekars, Big Macs that taste slightly different to a Big Mac from The Burges. Pick pockets. Come inside my restaurant! £28 for a coach trip to a volcano, you don't get to the volcano as it's too windy. Nice little windy tour. Couldn't make out the driver's commentary over the noise of the engine. Had to take a break in a reastuarant on the way down as the brakes were overheating. Never saw that bloody volcano, never got my willy in between those tits, I did break the pickpocket's nose - nearly got beat up by his big mate, but I can run fast. It's all that nervous energy running between machines that prepared me well. Buy this watch for £40. £20. £10. £5. £2.50. Looky looky. My mate bartered him down to a £1. My mate was ripped off, the watch broke after half a day. 24 carat Rolex (or was it Timex?) as well. Terrible. Paragliding. Beach so hot you'll burn your feet. Water Park. Some kind of crazy freefall park these days as well. 80s video game in hotel foyer. Those girls had a huge swimming pool all around teh hotel complex. All beautifully lit and ornate. I wasn't jealous, we had Daley Thompson's Decathlon. Pizza. Corona? Vending machines which can't stop the Mars Bars from melting. Gift shops. The arcades - I was banned from playing by mateypoos, but they got some Castuchios before some busts and won enough potatas - it was pataatas in them days, to not see a Lesbian strip show. Taxi drivers that rip you off. My 'round' for the taxi as well. I thought 20,000 patatas was a couple of quid. Turned out to be £20 - the scamming foreign bastard. Pretending to be nice to get your business. Drugs problem. Apparently the genuine locals are very pleasant people. Cons, scams, rigs. Pool. People selling timeshare - oh look 4 jet planes...come upstairs and let our sales people harrang you for the next twenty hours of your life. Tell them you're a penniless student
make sure you don't get too cynical, you won't have a good time. Bingo! Bingo! Bingo! means fun! fun! fun! You won't find any Golden Games!!!
So all in all you're proably best of going somewhere fresher......fresh...hmmmmm.... reminds me of something someone said earlier. FEEE FOOOOO FIIIIII THUMB I smell the BLOOD OF A PICK A REEL MAN boomed the Jolly Jackpot George Giant.
"10-4 10-4 EMERGENCY", crackled the Nudge radio, "All systems full alert. Invaders from down South."
"Lock down all Golden Games so that it costs £40 for a fiver and £300 for a hint of that old Family Fortunes presenter who was on Extras."
"Lock down all Vamps so that it costs £13 for a board whereby you need 86 billion nudges to get red active."
A large mushroom was inside the box. Super Georgio ate it and expanded rapidly. This little finger was able to kill Gala, this little finger Megabowl, this little finger Shipleys, this little finger......that pub near the....with Invincible, Bunny and Rovers, this little finger Showboat, that little finger the station.
Of course if he was from Ipswich then he would have had a few extra fingers to kill a few extra machines. High six! No, that's not funny. Sorry. I couldn't resist. I'm very childish at times. Sorry.
Oh go on, I may chuck in a location for an underfloated Card Shark in a dodgy kebab place. If you simply have to defreshen this town. Last time I played it, it was full and paid out £87 before IOUing. Always repeats, but on 70% stone cold dead. Usually £23 off full. Takes £60ish to get there. Temptedings? The owner is a hot fiery Greek who is really obsessed about people not winning on his machine. Temptedings?
Hopefully they'd float over to that place where that boy cheated in that game once and try that wierd chip nonsense opposite the Whyber and Carribean flash.
No seriously if you must come to the place whose name sounds like Hummmvuntry then drop us a PM and I'm sure we can sort something out. Meet up, have a drink, play a few bloops, not kill Showboat when I'm not there. That sort of thing. Fee foo fii thumb, I better not finish work and see three pinky rectangles on the Gee Gee Gees linctus.
And the award for most stupid longest convoluted drivel goes to...................oh. That award doesn't matter. Move on.

well it's an honour to be nominated, but I feel the competition as the year goes on will be fierce and that my statement of the obvious in this case will be easily surpassed as the year goes on.Jackpot George wrote: And the smugest, glibest reply award of The Jammies 2008 will probably go to.................Poker Pete!
