I've got 2 pubs that have had a second update which has removed a lot of games (and dropped to only 1 screen of 'more games'), at least one of them was an engineer update as she was working on the machine when I was there. Word Soup and PMP have both gone, TPTP is a welcome addition but certainly no...

I remember reading this a while back, but the name is escaping me, was it Rage?

I think he was a roid pumped wrestler type guy and appeared in Batman and Robin the film (but not having seen it isn't helping me much).

Judging by the state of the pews at some churches I have been to I'll take a stab at organ music.

I'll guess at it having 2 7 off suit, and I'll wager there were 2s and 7s in the flop. I had similar situations myself, which totally put me off playing. It's not unfair that my pocket aces or whatever were beaten by stupidly low pocket cards of my opponent (that's poker), but the fact that it will ...

Assuming that it appears in the category 'Rubbish SWP games', I was even more amused to see that 'Pints make prizes' is one of the answers in that category.

Super 11s is a card game, similar in look to triple towers but cards are cleared by selecting exposed cards that add up to 11. I would imagine the weighting towards a small selection of games is largely due to the menu system, games that are on the standard home screen are sure to get more play. I d...

I've never managed close to that amount from a single unit on a single visit. I think my best has been managing to JP word soup and PMP on consecutive plays from my 1st pound in, managed to bolster the bank to £28 or so from abusing my run of luck on some of the Q based games whilst I finished off m...

The klingon phonetic alphabet?

The worrying thing is that I had more chance of finding a connection than I do o...

Neither translators or investors were on the list.

The question seems to have died a death and I'm going to be away for a while so I'll pass to anyone with a Q.

The missing ones were:
Maths and science teachers
Veterinary surgeons
Jockeys
Sheep Shearers (I kid ewe not)

My source was the short list produced by the borders agency in July, which did not include ballet dancers. However the proposed full list has now been published and they are included on that. There are still less than ten professions on the full list which are not in engineering or healthcare, so I'...

The Non-EU skilled workers list is a list of professions in which there is a shortage of skilled workers in the UK and so foreign nationals qualified in these professions have a far greater chance of gaining working visas. Solicitors were recently removed from this list (much to the displeasure of m...
