just a quick , and rather pointless update , for those interested ? ,,,,,,,,,,, hmmm ,,,,,,, move along people , nothing to see here
what i am about to say , makes me look an ungrateful cunt ,,,,,, ungrateful for the lifestyle that has served me well all these years
i did a full route the other day , tracys brother took me out in his transit van , so it cost 60 in diesel , plus all the usual double cost meals n drinks etc
at the end of the day , i had all this covered and still came home with an exact chinese dentist ,,,,,,,,, which in my book is a very very good day ( but its shit to some , judging by some of the above comments ,lol ,,,,,, but hey ive never claimed to be a topboy ( a true topboy , or a topbullshitboy , ) ,,,,,, so by my standards 230 is great)
anyhow despite the money , im glad im not out full time ,,,,,,,,,,,, yes despite the cash ,,,,,,,,, erm ,,,,,, erm ,,,,,, ( this is the ungrateful cunt part)
"""WHAT A FUCKING DRAG""
i dont know what it is with me lately , i think i may be having a mid extralife crisis ,,,,,,,,, im just not excited or motivated by any of it ,,,,,, ( cue lots of replies of .,,,, '' well why dont you fuck off out the game completely then lee ?? ''
its boring as fuck , theres no amusement , ,,,,, its souless ,,,,,,, its ,,,,,, its ,,,,,,,, i dont know exactly what im trying to say ,,,,,,,,, its monotonous , its stale , its routine , it all feels like a chore
does anybody else feel the same ,,,,,, ?????? ,,,,,,, can any of you emphasise ????
or do i just need a course of anti-depressants ? and a different direction in life ,,,,,,,,, maybe a part time job ,,,,,,, maybe a holiday shaging in thailand ,
maybe i should just shut the fuck up , , , ,,,,,, maybe i should do some voluntary work ,,,,,,,, or visit people in hospital less fortunate ? ( no scratch that , bfk is right , im a boring cunt , and would probably make the patients feel worse lol)
at the very least ,,,,,,, i need a part time job ,,,,,,,,,,
hmmm ,,,,,,,, disillusion , no passion ,,,,, boredom
sorry for bringing the tone down
anyone else feel the same ?

Indeed so.
Normally in November I have a month off playing the machines just as a break. Anyway this year I'd been getting second thoughts about my liking for playing them in general. I'd just finished with some of the usual days tasks and went to the pub, and decided to play the machines this time because I deserved a little 'treat' even though it was November. Lost 100 quid between a few Deals. That's OK. I always lose anyway. I've lost 100 quid in Mr P's before and had a great time. After all, I just play for the fun.
Hold on
That wasn't fun at all!
The machines are just appalling now. You never used to know what was going to happen next back in the day, but now, you KNOW. It'll go there, there, there, there. That'll be game over. Open both wings on super start will get you £4 supermeter, close both then hazard. I've had more fun playing lotechs sometimes! You can't even use a few sneaky move back 3s like you could on Crests etc just to make you feel like an advantage. Blocks are horrendous and blindingly obvious. Features are so rigidly in line with the cash stacks or sometimes lower so you end up just taking cash and the entire mini game scenario is obsolete. The window of opportunity is so small now too thanks to the higher Jackpots. See them much more of the time just blocking low down on the stacks due to having to recover. When it does come as well it's nothing fantastic. Last time I did the Live the Dream I got myself 20 out of it. Not much of a reaction, just had myself an extra 20 quid. Yet when my 8 quid repeater on Doctor Who goes for 16 down Gravesend I'm over the moon! Since that day in November I haven't touched a 70 and havent felt the least bit inclined to. For someone out there to have fun on the machines in the pubs, they've ruined that now. For players, if it suits them it suits them but I couldn't hack it. It would be like operating a conveyor belt factory machine except with a few more lights and buttons, and you don't have to see the Boss at the end of the day for the wages, and if you operate the machine in the best order he might give you a bonus!
Pub slots have gone to "monotonous,,,,stale,,,,routine" whether you spend 15 minutes on one or a good few months playing them over time for me. Game over Noel! Game over!
