My little sister went to the Bingo last night because she was bored with sitting in watching shite on the telly. Honestly, why can't she do something creative or get a more life-enriching hobby? She should be ashamed of herself, indulging in a practise so intellectually-bankrupt.
Although she did win 29 thousand quid.
Is she single?
You are joking! Luck or skill?
There's no skill involved other than the superhuman ability of some bingo experts to play dozens of cards simultaneously.
F**k
Ing
Hell.
Hope she's buying you presents.

Luck obviously. She was playing just three books and won the national link up. Amazing.

Hah. No, she's very married.

Hmmm. I doubt it. I hope she gets a treat for mum and dad though. I'm sure she will. On a side note, I won 7 pounds on teh pub fruity last night.
Ahem.

The latter. She's already doing okay, has her own small hairdressing shop etc. It'll no doubt pay for a nice new car, a few holidays etc. Her husband had a recent compensation payout from the NHS for when he fell over and cracked his skull on hospital property. He got £120,000 I think. So they're okay for a few quid.
Well that hardly seems fair then!
Get yourself down the bingo!

Does that really come under the life-changing category??

Don't forget your dabber
Are old ladies in England as kooky as the bingo players over here? My friend's elderly mother was a bingo fanatic and we used to tag along for the sheer spectacle. They'd bring talismans, stuffed animals, good luck charms, photos of their grandkids and everything under the sun. When we were teens we'd get really stoned and then tag along for a few games. Once we brought a living marijuana plant (maybe 6 inches tall) as a good luck piece and all the old ladies came by and rubbed it for good luck. We were howling on the inside.
nice.
I once used bingo dabber to die my hair when I was 13.
It doesn't work.
That's my bingo story.

The lucky talisman thing is present here too. One old lady brings her dead husband's false teeth with her for good luck, which she stands her bingo dabber on between games.
And don't even THINK about nicking that for your sitcom, you thieving bunch of ne'r-do-wells, because I've already got first dibbs.
