Free Coffee, Tea and Bickies. 2 Hours Top Entertainment and there are a few good sorts there too!!! Also some fair looking Shelias…
Apart from needing Ski Gear and a beanie to combat the Freezing Air conditioning which is probably set to combat the Germs as This Bingo is on 7 days a week, Morning and Evenings and I am sure that people do not leave their Chairs. They Even bring hot food in at 1/2 time
Brownie also has a new outlet for his disposable income. He secretly buys Bingo pens but he has to buy the same Colours so his wife won't find out he has more than 1 set !!
Only thing I got against it is that they never get round to calling the whole 90 numbers so I never win., Some Clown always shouts BINGO when I still need about 10 numbers on each card.
I got so excited at 1 stage as I went for 15 calls without a Number. I actually had a number called and I shouted "Yes". Unfortunately I was expelled from that game
They play for Lines, 2 Lines, Racetracks, Fat Ladies, Four Corners, Ice Cream Cones and Phuk Knows what else. Totally confused but good fun anyway. They hide the biscuits on the counter away from the Coffee and Tea as Brownie takes about 10 packets and stuffs them in his bag to nibble on when his wife is not looking.
The last game of the day is for "The Big $1000 Jackpot" Of Course We never got anywhere near it. Some 95 year old Millionaire won that and will almost certainly go back into the Pokies.
The Club is Terrific at Southport. Had to Join as Cheap meals and Incentives for losing money on the Pokies. Every Point you get is worth 1 cent and they give you 10 points for walking in the door. I spent $125 today so am delighted with the points that I got 78 which means I am 78 cents closer to a Dollar Pull in the Machines.
My Wife actually got a Full House at Bingo and Won $60. Amazing, I thought not was rigged. I was shit scared incase she stuffed up and all the other Bingo players called "lulu" It was Ok as I had a spare table along side so I could slip off there quietly disowning her.
The Pens are a bargain., Specially designed Felt nibs but if you press too hard the Ink goes through 9 pages at a time making it impossible to play the next 9 games which guarantees you won't win those games.
The Jackpot is 6 cards. Seeing as most people who attend here are over 90 they call 1 number out every 2 minutes to make sure that no one misses anything. I had time for Full Punjabi Dinner and a Slash before each number was called.
Anyway and enjoyable day out and will certainly take preference over Super Challenge on Saturdays If i get disillusioned with Bowls again.
Have Fun.
P.S Bob.. See you there tomorrow. Don't be late and I will get that set of Pens for you so your wife doesn't know. Bring your Backpack.
