Heh absolutely. I felt sorry for the 2 women who had to work with him at Snookers. Could never get a conversation out of the guy in 3 years.

yes...by the way we won 3 and a half to 1 and a half....railway club away next week.....by the way there was no kids in there last night

Anyone who plays dominoes is simply wasting their life. I mean, knocking on the table because your little black thing hasn't got the right number on it... pfft, it's worse than those saddos who let the wimmin in their lives dictate the TV stations or, worse, willingly watch X Factor and Big Brother.

omg, he was the biggest moaning misserable old b****rd i have ever met, used to go in every tuesday and sunday to have a good sesh of darts with me mate and to this day i dont think i have ever met any one like him, cock

I knew a couple of pages back when I first mentioned Keith that it'd get a response like this, I think you'd go a long way to meet a ruder chap.

I remember winning £250 on the bandit in there once, probably ten years back. His face was unreal, it was close to closing, and I'd played pool on the American Pool table for an hour, as we were going, I literally had about £4 in change, slung it in, and it was there, two nudges away, couldn't believe it. As these 250 nuggets where chinging out, he was livid, he refused to give me anything to carry the coins in etc, so I was stuffing them like someone who had 'nothing to declare' going through customs.

you could`nt even hold doms never mind play the game....as for things like x factor don`t you av to ask mummy can i have come dancing on

I remember when my dad won over £500 once out of a fruity. He filled half the place's pint glasses!

I actually love dominoes and hate the X Factor, was just showing you how bad it feels to have your chosen form of entertainment insulted.

The X Factor is puerile nonsense for the celebrity obsessed, Jeremy Kyle watching masses.

To be honest, they are all sad, they need to get a life; they need a PS3.

But if they weren't sat watching it, they could be in a pub near you or me!

or access to the drivel on a rugby league fans forum.

whats the food like,am treating wife and kids to tea tonight.Just unsure where to go

Thai place in Culcheth, warrington road

Thai Parageon

top place 10 out 10

dont think i`d be in a pub near you tbh

to be fair though the farmers attracts that clientele because of the stocks being closed! once that re opens the farmers will probably go back to a family pub!

and thats really gettin a life ,the participants at least the final 12 will get a half decent career out of it with some decent money earned thats their passion like yours is rugby so don't shoot them down for it

fixed

Are you sure? It's £1 stake / £70 max jackpot now for Cat-C, was £35 jackpot until recently, plus the hoppers typically now only hold £250, in the past it was £200. May have been an unlicensed, illegal, machine.

How many of the last 5+ years have any sort of career






Will Young.. Leona Lewis.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Anyone else?

They're young people being exploited when in reality there isn't a career for them. The record contracts they sign are so unbelievably weighted towards Cowell and Co it's unreal. Lets just say there's not many of them driving Ferrari's.
They're back as pub singers/Chicago rock touring within 12/18months and it's even worse in a recession because the music's garbage

But surely they are not exploited in the fact that a) they dont have to go on the show b) they do not have to sign the contract. It's a fair reflection of supply and demand for me. It's more about making a TV show and "a star a year" rather than making a superstar.

Plenty of real talent makes it the traditional way in the music industry anyway.

Bingoooo, and why? Because there is a support base built up over time. X-factor contestants stay in the limelight as long as Sir Cowell feel like keeping them there while they bleed a bit more cash out of a teen market and bored housewives. There's no real support fanbase, hence why they do little touring and fall flat very very quickly.
Hell, when Shane Warne toured years ago all he did was sing Jacko songs all night. This doesnt need to turn into a debate on the music industry, but people who watch Big Brother have the IQ of a goldfish and people who watch the X-factor need a musical education

Next week, Ricky Ponting sings a medley of hits from the West End. His 'Jesus Christ Superstar' has to be heard to be believed.

Oh Yeah, I'm sure. I could breakdown what I spent every penny on.

They used to have two or three of them, four reel efforts. It was normally ridiculously difficult to even got on the baord, this just nudged straight in, it was bizarre.

Lots of places, Tetley Walkers, Snookers, had £250 jackpots back then, definately.

Ah right, these are club machines or Cat-B machines (members clubs), I thought you meant in a regular pub of which the jackpot is £70.
