Nice one D.
I on the other hand had the misfortune to see an old git play a power 5 with his beer change whilst I was forcing the Vortex next to it and he got the IM on his first feature.
He clearly didn't know it was an IM so I told him and he didn't even respond and took me for a low life chav trying to tell him what to do.
He took a DOND anyway as any clueless twat would and dealt his first £35 offer which repeated twice. Some people just need a good manners twatting. Old gits are the worst, I make a habit of holding doors open these days whilst they are following behind me then letting them go when they just at the right place for a bit of a smack in the nose.
Merry Christmas to everyone my side of 60.
Bah humbug,

Talking of luck I stopped at some sevices on the way home tonight and had a little dabble on the fruits I chucked £60 into a gold strike for one flat top and then X2 £25 wins
Moved onto the DOND next to it (One with the triple HI/LO) spunked £70 from my previous win and then it went IM, Mega Streak gave £55 and it went IM again straight after for a flat £35. Had a little go on Show me the Mummy but it wasn't showing any signs so just tried to get some red features think I ended up £20 down on this. Just before I was about to leave I stuck £10 into Rainbow Riches It kept putting two pot symbols in I know this means nothing but I just hada feeling it would come in so I chucked another £10 in. To my amazement the pots did came in and it gave me the £500 gold pot.

Lovely Jubbley

JP on the ball...

Mike, getting a little excited there...?!?! Didn't expect that from you, if its an "OLD MAN" as you phrase him as, expect a response of "wtf, leave me alone" then he wouldn't look at you as a "CHAV"??!?!, if this guy is old and has no 'means' of todays technology, he is obviously old-school and wants to put his change in and you leave him alone. On a side note, why didn't you just capture the moment and take advantage when he left...?

And as far as the MC's go, I've had R2R go for £70 tnite after £10 in, a dough-ho-ho £4 in, £24 total out and I battered a corry for £75...

Quite a bit of profit for 4 hours, then again if I'd have entered a poker tourney "ie blackpool" tnite I could've earned alot more...

Ouch the 35 actually giving the 2 repeats. Sick, wouldnt happen to players, if it was gonna go 105 then it would be 35/35/35, 10 between boards

Anyway, 18th tonight so went easy on the fruits, still ended up 40ish up, somehow

I have had it quite a few times most being £80. I am sure it will do the full £105 though

While out last night for new years i didn't touch a fruity all night until it was time to leave. i stuck a £20 note into DOND Hall of Fame it was budging above £5 and then went IM twice in a row??
I wasn't complaining it paid for most of my beers and gave a me a free night

Coming home today we decided to stop at the services for a Maccy D's breakfast to try and put us on the straight and narrow after New Year Festivities.
The Maccy D's had been replaced by a Burger King which wasn't doing anything remotely breakfast like so we resigned ourselves to taking out a loan for a traditional fry up from the cafeteria.
To our surprise the breakfasts were on buy one get one free so it wasn't all bad.
Anyway, on the way out tried a few quid in Deal Or No Deal £500 S16.
Wasn't going too bad, quite a few DOND features with three phones for pocket money, then it span in 4 phones where you start with all the blue boxes eliminated.
Kept no dealing and eventually got DOND Mega which takes you to a fresh board with £200 and £500 as the top 2 boxes and wins ranging down from that to the crap blue boxes.
Turned down a couple of £30-£60 offers and it all boiled down to the end rounds where we had £200, £500 and 3 blue boxes left. The offer was £140, I thought sod it and went for it.
Immediately, without any cliffhangers it took out both red boxes leaving us with 2 blues in the final round, I ended up with the great sum of £1.
