Non Dickhead Engineers

I was playing my last "Pancake Day" (as MOG put it), just got my first when in walks a FairCity engineer. He stands behind me for five minutes just telling me to take my time. I asked what he was in for and he replied "Security update". Knowing that when he clocked what was happening I would probably be asked to finish up and get off it I remarked that I would let him on it after I finished my credit, thinking that I could probably get it almost fully done.

He the stands next to me, watches what I'm doing, looks at me and says: "Ah right. Well just you carry on, I'll come back tomorrow for that one". I have to admit I was a little dumbstruck by that. When I asked if he was joking he replied that it was fine, I should just have it out since they will all be done in the next few days.

Makes a change from the past few engineers who I've met!

I've had the total opposite many a time, especially when they'd come in the bookies and demand you get off or the shop manager will switch it off. Had one old moany cunt of a cashier grinning like a Cheshire cat when I had to get of a Bling King Crazy all those years ago... I'd been waiting over an hour for some clueless old grandad to get off it!

Some one never got the full story then? Letting every bonus go for the swap Haha 1hour = hopper. to be fair had a fair few floaters now and 1 banker. Had switch off police called on one but was 280ish out anyways. Devon lots had a field day, alan davies has just lost his spoons contract so the fucker aint chipping them, 350 daily, que for doors mind.

well 45mins
swap number dont happen every time when they have been done loads
trust me its "going red" every time

all the others have been givin it away but that one has been hit alot. anyone whos been to it will know for some reason the change number is rare when you have not got all the other bonuses eliminated (bank it, going red,xtra heart)

so you can imagine how many Hi/Lows it took to get the xtra life lit or all red and 2 hearts and bank it

hence 45 mins 2 gatws

other one in glendales "everyones banned" pub was 1st board £70 on sunday so just left as was 1st visit and £55 up then back yesterday for 6 X £10 notes and £240 coins. 4 X Gatw boards in a row oh and was even red boxing boards when i went on it which give CP when i missed a hold button and took dond

I wouldn't wish it to do this to my worst enemy mate honest! I was fucking ranting and raving like a nut over by the machine. In the end I started playing for activate bonus first so it couldn't hit it again. I was having a breakdown in the middle of the pub and had to get of it because it was closing time! I am ashamed to admit I walked away 40 quid down! It went up and down all night. One minute easy 140, next wouldn't do certain things it should, believe me it can happen!
