Addicted to other things as well as fruit machines?

11 May 2004 - 05:27 PM

Dunno about you lot, but I find that addiction to fruit machines can easily be accompanied by other things, i.e PC games, drinking, fags, drugs etc.

In other words, do you have an addictive nature? In my time, I would say that I have been addicted to fruit machines, I certainly like a drink (although I wouldn't say that I'm an alcoholic), I used to smoke, and these damn arcade games on this site are driving me crazy - I can't seem to get off them! I think that it's just in my nature and that I could easily get addicted to lots of things.

Thank god I never got into drugs.

What about you lot?

Old JPM fruit machines

14 April 2004 - 10:42 PM

Guys

Does anyone know if there are any websites out there that give listings of old JPM machines from the late 80s and early 90s (10p machines). I've looked through the JPM downloads and the machines I remember from that era are not available.

I'm really just trying to remember names and screenshots, not necessarily to play them (they gave me a big enough hammering back then!)

Thanks :p

UK Drinking rules...good or bad?

11 April 2004 - 10:55 PM

Hot on the heals of Monopoly60v8's post on smoking (which is still burning - no pun intended :D ), what are your thoughts on the UK's drinking rules;

Are we more likely to have a better and calmer society if town/city centre pubs were open much past 11:00pm or would we be further breeding a nation of complete piss heads?

My view is that the 11:00pm end causes too many people on the streets at the same time (which is bad), and in my experience, you kneck as many pints as you can down your throat before you get kicked out of the pub (and then the fights happen :-( ).

Of course you can go to a club, but at my age (34 this April - aghhh) I'm trying to avoid this as I seem to be turning into my old man - "I can't hear myself think in here - look at the state of her, she should put some clothes on, she'll catch herself a cold etc....)

Thoughts?!?
