Hi Guys

Just to say a quick hello and hope everyone is ok.
I've been doing too much travelling over the last couple of months but we'll have to catch up sometime soon. I've got a few funny things that have happened to tell, and had my best day since August last week.
I've got a train to catch at 6.20 so I'm just going for an early morning jog now followed by some breakfast. I'll be heading South for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday so I'm in for a busy week but it will be profitable.
The Chief and I were at the Price-Harrison fight at the weekend and were actually actually caught on camera. The Chief will no doubt be going on about it all day today when he picks me up from the station.
Can't wait to get started today, at times I do think this is the best job in the world and wouldn't swop with Brad Pitt but I understand that any sane person would call me disillusional. Not so long ago I said that our profession may be coming to an end in the next couple of years, however I was drastically wrong and apologise for non intentional scaremongering.
Have a happy and profitable week,
Sir Linesman

When he says he is heading south he means that he has been in the south and is now heading north. After all why would you disclose your whereabouts if you are as good as you think you are?

Hope you've had a good day gents,
Oscar, I'm heading South means I’ll be going beyond the midlands. I have set routes that fit in with the fact I get the Eurostar over to Paris every few weeks. Seen the forecast was for rain but I can handle a bit of rain as long as I'm filling the holdall up.
Currently not searching for anything, haven't done that for about 8 years now but whatever it is I'm happy to leave it to you guys.
I'll try and fit a post in for when I get back on Monday, hopefully I'll be 7 large richer by then but we'll see what happens, and by the way it's still going strong and there's a few new additions to boot.
Enjoy the week,
Sir Linesman

Cringeworthy you are linesman. Certainly didn't miss your load of absolute garbage.

This holdall, I trust it is Hermes/Prada/Mulberry or something of similar ilk, fashioned from endangered alligator or ostrich or whatever.
Anyway, bonne chance. Maybe the next time you take one of your excursions to Paris you could take a few photos of some of the sights, thus giving a taste of the high life to those of us from the lower echelons of society.
Have a fantastic week, I'll spare you a kind thought as i'm stood serving the general public for 8 hours at a time.

Holdall is Addidas which is in the boot and the smaller bag I keep in the Chief's car is a German make that begins with a B, can't remember the exact name though, but it's a fantastic bag and had it about 8 years. Was given it as a present and think they are quite pricey but would be much cheaper than Mulberry and better quality I suspect.
No JG, don't know Maverick but I'm sure he may well be a decent guy. The Chief did know a club machine player around 13 years ago but he packed in ages ago and is involved in small scale property developing now. The 2 lads I started playing with whom I met in the amusements in Oxford Street only played between ages 16-19 whilst we were at college. I still see them now and both have good careers, they do still gamble recreationally but on football, cricket and horse racing. One of them would have gone a long way in the fruit machine profession as he was working some decent stuff out back then with virtually no experience and without knowledge that fruit machine pros existed. When the time came that I started realising there was big money to be made in this game he was on the verge of coming on the ride but he had a girlfriend and they were planning to go travelling and everything else that goes with that.
He has a fantastic interesting job which pays well but he only comes out with probably a 1/4 of what I do but the fact he has a purpose and responsibility and is making a contribution to the world is a thing that playing fruit machines can't give you. We sometimes wish we could swap places for a month or so but that's just human nature I suppose.
Kind Regards,
Sir Linesman

I have just woken up and watched the inspirational video of Susan Boyle making THAT audition and slapping the entire audience in the face with a big wet fish!
Then I read THIS garbage! Some jumped up prat who YOU FOOLS worship and seem to see as some sort of messiah BECAUSE YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY HIM!
Any fool could make up a load of old tosh about how he's making £X and knows all the tricks no one else knows!
This has got to be the biggest exposure of how dim and daft the general audience on fruit chat is! I will be boycotting this STUPID thread and continuing giving rubbish tips, thanks very much! At least my posts are honest!!!

If you think everyone believes him what does that make you?
