sorted, and bought. this kind of band has thrown me a memory from way way back in the day. a few years after id left school etc. and i was having a tattoo done, and my mate rocked up with a cd that had no name on it, he only knew the name of the band…….and suggested that we listened to it. he’d been given it, from a recent gig from the band.
We continued to get our tattoo’s done, whilst listening to this totally new sound that we’d never heard before, but could totally relate to. The music and words were absolutely spot on and perfect……
The band was Artic monkeys. !!!
little did we know at the time…. we’d been listening to one of the biggest british bands to date, and this was actually their demo album.
I so wish i’d still got that burnt CD, from yesteryear, it was a promo cd handed out from the actual band, after a local gig. To try and get their name out there.
support local talent, its all we’ve got. otherwise its all gonna be that auto tune rubbish. Peace
thanks couldn’t think who they reminded me off :). The guitar at the beginning reminded a little bit of lil chris (checkin it out) and the vibe reminded a of a mix of somethings I can’t quite put my finger on marron travis? I’m not sure maybe pugwall t.v. series intro lol don’t know but I like it

I do NOT know the full outcome at this point. But bandit gets the wife for a game of DOND. £100 or £300, you choose, wifey.
The way I play DOND when I do which hasn’t been for years cos I don’t like it I add up all the ladder values that are left I.e @ 43:19 of the video – 10k + 2k + 1200 + 600 +180 +20 =13400 and divide that by the boxes left 6 which is of course the offer of 2233.33. but I like to divide it by 5 instead to give me an idea of what value the game puts on the 6th box. I take into account how much it has cost me and what I be happy walking with and having had an entertaining game and not falling to the lure of greed for more.

Don’t mean to repeat what others said, about it being good you avoided winning big, cos with most it makes them think they can repeat or recreate that same event over and over again, when in reality your finances will become a ticking time bomb waiting to explode away.
personally I’m quite stubborn when it came to my first introduction to gambling and didn’t matter if I had won big 1st or lost I saw it as a challenge. The outcome is still negative though regardless.
Not meaning to make light of your situation as far as it taking months to sort out your situation , but as Haz40 wrote a few months isn’t so bad. Some people I know have been stuck treading water for decades due to gambling because of one initial slip and loss, not to mention the relapses of then being addicted to gambling and the cycle it can lead to: 1) gamble lose everything, 2)work all month with nothing, 3) end of month comes, could sort it out but the idea of giving everything away to break even hurts. 4) for a brief moment you think you can win it all back. 5) so you gamble and lose again. 6) you borrow from friends and family (maybe you tell them the truth and they help you and you swear never to do it again, or maybe you lie to them and say you got underpaid or some excuse) 7) you gamble and lose again now you take out loans from every one friends family banks online payday companies loan sharks. 8) you lose that 9) you steal 10) you end up homeless begging and consider suicide.
This is unfortunately the tale of many a gambler not meaning to go on and make you feel bad but the positive is you are is good position to stop the rot now.
I realize you typing away on the forum might initially not seem that its solving your problems as far as getting you money to pay your bills etc. But it will help you to talk even though its hard, and it’s going to a hard period for you too, but rather than putting your head in the sand and wasting time til payday and repeating the cycle, there are positive steps you can take now.
As mentioned use gamstop etc, also speak to the people you owe and come to a comprise and budget and stick to it. As far as food if you need that go to your local Citizen’s advice Bureau and they can point you in the direction of food-banks and other places (I realize it might be degrading but you gotta do what you gotta do). If you owe money with banks phone them and work out a repayment schedule with them. Banks and credit card companies sometimes give a months grace if it’s your 1st slip up. If your credit is currently good as far the financial world is concerned i.e. your credit score- look into consolidating your debt into a low repayable bank loan. If however your credit is not so good speak to “Stepchange” speak to them anyway.
Anyway I hope some of this helps you and if you ever need advice don’t hesitate to ask.
take care buddy
told my mate who watches the bandit it was him, he was having none of it.
>> At the left of the address bar (http…..) there’s a lock, click it and click allow. Click reload (may have to click on the black screen first). VS is notorious for this it is a flash allow issue. Ask first, isn’t asking first.
yeah I found this info the hard way but defo works. I also had great problems with jammin jars on VS using firefox but works fine on chrome. Now if any1 can help me with playing 300 I’d be very grateful it just doesnt seem to work says I need flash player of a certain type but after downloading what it recommended it still won’t run on either browser. next time I try I’ll put up a picture of what it says.

Sadly the days of really fun and playable fruit machines are almost gone. ? Used to love popping in to the local arcade and back in the 90’s we were spoiled for choice. The period between the £3 cash, £6 tokens up until the £25 jackpots were the best. Here are my top ten, that I can remember anyway.
1. Casino Crazy. 2. Hyper Viper. 3. Lasvegas strip. 4. Viva Las Vegas 6. 5. Big Banker. 6. Big Bucks. 7. Miami Dice. 8. Surprise Surprize. 9. Eastenders. 10. Indiana Jones.
Probably forgot some classics but although these weren’t always the best for payouts, they were fun to play. Playing a DOND clone has nothing to offer and you can go through £100 in no time. Yes you could lose on the old fruits too but you got value for money.
just a side note forgot about this one, OVERDRIVE with the Top Gear feature 🙂
Can anyone remember the short period when you could collect actual prizes from the machines. I think it was in the late 90’s or so but I remember my mate playing Big Banker at the local ten pin bowling alley and he won a set of darts….which he still has to this day. Can anyone remember what other prizes were available? ???
wow that actually rings a bell in the vague dark recesses of my mind. I also saw it in bowling centre, think it was only there for about 2weeks lol, sorry dont remember the prizes
1Serious question here lol. Does ur wife not go mad the day after also that u woke them up? Or does she understand it’s a massive amount and the winnings make up for it ?
Haha tbh, she hadn’t long gone to sleep – she likes to sit there as long as possible to make sure i don’t do my utter bajoolas in – which i don’t do anymore but she remembers from when i did do ?
If she’s anything like the women in my life can’t remember if they seen a certain movie before but when remembering my gambling they have the memory of an elephant
oh For fucks sake… that’s bollocks
Do you mean the thread mate or were you replying to someone else? I find it difficult to believe that as a follower of the whole thing, you could swing round to thinking it was bollocks or did i just read it wrong lol
I think they may have clicked the reply button at the bottom( the top of the next post instead of the top for the post they ment to reply to. I’ve found myself making this mistake 🙂
I think they might be replying to someone else’s post. I have found myself clicking the reply at the bottom of a post instead of the one above the post
