Surreal Experience
Posted: Mon May 21, 2007 11:45 pm
Was at Membury servs, east bound on M4 tonight, for those of you who don't know it the playing area is quite small, just enough space for 6 machines.
Was playing YDD when a chap comes in, who I guess works at the services, gets his prayer mat out, lays it down in the corner and starts praying. I kid you not!
I assume that he was a muslim and I guess the irony of it is that isn't gambling against their religion, so surely praying in a gambling area must be a big no no!
Please note, I fully respect his wish to pray before anyone misreads this as a racist post, just thought it was a bit unusual.
Has anyone else had any surreal moments?

P.S. Also had to laugh at the guy (six months ago told me he was a pro) thinking that the harder you hit the buttons the more likely you are to win!
