[MERLYN]

I'm pretty excited.
Resubscribed Iron Maiden FC. (the exchange rates suck!)
bought EDDIE doll Killers
bought and love Rock In Rio.

Then went to a club and won $120 in the Pokies!!!! WooHoooo.

Pokies rule, they are a sure-fire way to double your cash.

 

[KoichCPA]

Fuck i hope your being sarcastic 9mm.

Pokies are the bane of the existence of Australia's live music scene. They suck you dry without you even knowing it. If I put a gun in your face and asked for all your money, I'd go to jail. But pubs and clubs take it all with pokies and it's legal?

Gambling is a drug of the mind.

 

[Southy]

Gambling is fucked

 

[Winmar]

Australia has 20% of the world's pokies, a pathetic figure.

I hate all forms of gambling bar raffles and tattslotto (which I never enter anyway).

 

[phlogiston]

Is that pathetic that we don't have more than 20%? Or pathetic that we've got about 0.000001% of the worlds population and still got 20%?


I know what you mean, I'm just trying to be a smartarse.

Who are all these people using the bloody things? Thats what id like to know, noone I know plays them.... I think they just make these figures up.

Spawny has slept with 67.4 percent of the supermodels.

See, anyone can do it!

 

[Mark]

HAHA! 32.6% of the world's supermodels won't sleep with you! LOSER!

 

[spawn]

Yeah, but those are the male ones, so its ok by me

 

[phlogiston]

78.3% of people know that 52.7% of statisitics are made up on the spot.

 

[spawn]

What do the other 11.7% think of the 47.3% of statistics?

 

[phlogiston]

They just don't give a damn..

 

[spawn]

Typical. Bloody slackers.

 

[MERLYN]

Yeah, well I can't live without the pokies!!!
I spend about 40 hrs a week with the f**kin' things!!!
It's my job. I work in a club that has approx. 600 of them. I usually don't play them 'cos I've seen too many eople lose their pay pckt, or house, or marrage...
Did you know NSW has about 80% of aust total pokie population?
Most of the people who play are the older generation waiting to start Bingo or something.

 

[MERLYN]

Quick joke...

How do you fit 100 cows into a small tin shed?

Stick a BINGO sign on the door.


How do you get 100 old ladies to say fuck?

I got to here and thought "Fuck, man, you gotta get some help". But it turns out you don't.

[MERLYN]

I dunno, maybe I do need help!
I've played them last night and today, put in about $80 and got back $30!
Even on my days off I still go and have a bit of a play.
They are just so inviting. All the flashing lights, the spinning reels are so mesmerising. Nah just jokes. They do give you something to do if you're having a beer by yourself though.
Also if you're a drug dealer or something, it's a great way to launder your money!

 

[Sydo]

Are the pokies the problem? Or the persons who play them?
