When I play it I get the required score then go into the end game.I do the same with monopoly.A high score can be a product of bonuses and the non-appearance of the spoilers as well as luck.To play on to get a high score is simply a waste of time.I normally in a childish way put insults up on the high scores to whoever has the temerity to leave their names on the high scores particularly couples.

To be fair there are methods with the primes. I got through about 10 prime Qs on my way to a 100+ break and £10 on Jimmy White recently. </boast>

Not to everyone, money out is just a bonus

I guess you're single, and have 'issues', then?

The only time i put high scores up on Monopoly/Star Wars et al, where there is no point carrying on after you've qualified (in case you want to get 4 stations that aren't going to happen, which I'll testify to since I once did a 38,560 on Monopoly just to find out if it would allow all 4), I simply put the amount of money won as a courtesy to other pros, since they have a date stamp attached.

e.g FIVER 10/3/11

It's an old pro trick to be courteous to fellow travellers.

Case rests, M'lud.

'I guess you're single, and have 'issues', then?'

Topically (with the gay protest in Soho) I dislike public demonstrations of affection such as tongueing,groping and shagging in public.
I actually caught a naked couple at it whilst out on a training run last year and no I didnt trek down to a known dogging haunt to go perving!

Couples playing quiz machines are an irritant as they tend to play slowly and play games that they can play together such as Word Soup where the woman can chip in with the odd three letter word and win small amounts that extend their time on the machine rather than games where its all or nothing.

Its odd that anybody who has thoughts that are different from the norm is deemed to have issues.I think and formulate my own opinions rather than be sheep like, sticking with the mainstream.If my thoughts offend others I couldnt give a toss , although I doubt many would find any of my comments offensive just sometimes left-field.

Cool Without knowing you personally your musings on here do
Come across as rather arrogant without the humour of quizmasters posts but hey who am I to comment

I take that as a 'yes' then.
