Tend to keep away from these events now. It was good back in the day when there was a sense of optimism and a handful of players would turn up. Now you've got the 'dig it pros' scampering about for tickets and the game is on the verge of meltdown. Big bad news on the way with many new releases in the future and in my view, the games is finished within 18 months. This latest news is devestating and Im not stirring it up, bad news.

what latest news is this?

Im not going to say anything, but all will be revealed in time. It's seriously bad news. It's tons worse than any digital scare or lack of playables. The only thing at the momment on our sides is maybe clinging onto what playables we have at the momment. So many scare stories down the years but Im almost certain the journey will come to end soon. Im not saying, that in 2 years you won't able to scrap around for a couple of quid in the arcades, but making good money, and having a very good living is nearing the end.

There maybe other opportunities, ie playing clubs, £5 jp's etc but the cat c's are history. It will bring a tear to my eye the day I wake up and there are no pubs to trawl round, but hey, that's life. Maybe I'll publish my memoires from the last 15 years, would make a good read even if I say so myself.

If you refuse to elaborate then what you state is merely opinion. the end of the game may bring a tear to your eye, but i'm sure having retired as a millionaire you won't be crying for too long.

Yawn.

Fuck off.
