Ah, Sum Up - now there WAS a game!
A happier time. Sad to see so many of those venues that have disappeared.

To my eternal shame, I must have run a tenner through the Birdz game yesterday. One of those occasions where you keep going because you think surely there is more to it than this? I am not sure there is much discernible strategy to it and worse still the prizes did not seem to be progressive - desp...

Maybe GWHL intended to tweak it but weren't able to or chose not to - in their releas...

Agreed Hyena is not very good, but it doesn't take a lot to push the prize money up to levels I am not going to hit..... As for Canary Wharf, other than a couple of games of Word Soup during the odd work's drinks down the Cat, I haven't been for ages. I would say it would be worth doing a Greenwich...
