An American in a UK Bingo Hall

Ya got to take a pic of that dabber froggy and let us all see it. That is wayyyy too cute!

I meant to share this from Friday bingo and it slipped my mind. I noticed this woman playing on a machine and after each  line, double line and house she wrote on a piece of paper. She was tracking something on paper and I was dying to ask her what. Any ideas of what in the world she was doing?  ???

Perhaps the winning numbers Froggy?  Other than that I have no idea...and no idea why she would be tracking the winning numbers either (assuming that was what she was doing).

That's the only thing it could be right. I can't imagine what she's gonna do with them.

Maybe she has some secret method of calculating the probabilities based on the past winning numbers. I know a few people that do that for lotto games, they always keep track of the winning numbers and then add them into all sorts of tables and statistics. Those people never won though despite all that hard work :) But I guess they enjoy it. I used to keep such statistics on soccer games back in the 90s, I had countless notebooks filled with data about all sorts of teams.

That's the only thing it could be right. I can't imagine what she's gonna do with them.

Maybe she will use them in the National Lottery?

I did picture her going home and sitting in front of a massive computer screen, entering all the data, rubbing her hands together like a mad scientist and laughing.... :`o

Lottery is very possible.

LOL you guys are too funny.

Maybe that's just her habit....ya know sometimes I like to write something while doing something else. ;D

...or maybe she looks for a card either with or even without those numbers on thinking that this is the big one baby and she's going to win a fortune?

...........or maybe she was profiling froggy. Trying to decipher your funny accent and marking down different regions.......lmaoooooooooo!!

You best no be saying "BINGO" when you win guuuuuuuuuuuurllll! Ya been there long enough to know better!  ;)

lmao I think you might be right  :`o

I have to ask Froggy - are you considered one of the "regulars" now and do you have your favourite seats?

Well, I suppose I might be a familiar face by now  LOL

I do have a favorite spot and I must, absolutely must, face a certain way. I stay away from the curry and chips though. Smells awful. Mmmm bingo curry  LOL

LMAO@Mmmm bingo curry. 

I've smelt that before and it is indeed vile.

Well, my MIL only wants to go to bingo now to play the party bingo boards. She has decided that they pay better than the actual bingo. Her arch nemesis, the bingo caller, was on vacation things didn't get better for her. I think any bingo caller that doesn't call her numbers becomes the enemy. 

The funny thing is the employees think her name is Patty. They call her Pads  LOL

Anyway, I'm hoping to get a big win to share with you guys. My bingo life is becoming a little boring. Maybe I'll win a big link game and post a pic of my cheesy smile. I will be going this week so we'll see what happens.
