Another Year Done n Dusted

Post by pierkid »

Well only a couple more weeks left for me this year then I can go into hibernation for two months and re-appear next feb!

Had a pretty successful 10 months so cant complain.

Does everyone carry on through the winter? My certain 'playin area' closes so I have no choice as pubs dont do it for me.

2006 a better year for me personally. This year a little shit, but got a long term woman this year which could be the reason for the serious dent in wages

A year is only as good as the machines released and how many of the previous two years machines stay in circulation. Unfortunately 2007 has not been a vintage year, still in profit though, not bad for a casual player. :D

I tend to avoid November if I can, but come December with Christmas parties etc, everyday can be a good day.

I may go out twice in November this year seen as Christmas is virtually paid for. :roll:

What is your yearly target out of intrest?

For me id imagine december tightening up a little, obviously people dont have as much to spend etc. At the same time, roll on boxing day :wink: Oughta be fun after that, im only 17 at the minute, so turning 18 on the 27th will open new horizons if you like, i.e clubs will be readily available for play, sit in a decent club for the night (with decent machines of course) close to the machines and clean em out as theyre due.

Once made around £100+ drinks for 4 hours sat close to an older extreme!

Club machines don't get as much play as you'd hope in my experience. Cleared out a Moley first thing last night and left it 89 off, end of the night it was only 63 off.

Most people out clubbing are there to go have a good time, not just bum about like people do in pubs, where they mite get bored and try the fruit. But alas, weigh that up with drunk ppl doing their nut.

Ahhh extremes can be very profitable. The club here had a Bling n Queen & Bucketloads for ages, where you could milk £5-£15 say, watch some poor sod lose a tenner and a few 1-1-1 boards, then go clear it out again. Nights were always free when they were about :D

Yeah well to be fair being 17 isnt *that* much of a setback for me, I still get into most bars and the occasional club. Working in a club with a BNQ and flash cash is also handy :) , always fun before and after shift.
