All bow to Great Worthing...

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:18 PM

Worthing has been named the most profitible town in Britain for the 3rd year running. Wowsers. Also, it has the highest number of lottery winners in the country, so if you want to win the jackpot, move here!!

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:19 PM

On my way!!!!!!!!

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:24 PM

What is the lottery up to? The California state lottery is 12 million this week.....I blew 20 dollars on tickets like an idiot...I probably have a better chance of aliens landing in my backyard but what the heck!

I went there weekend before last. Walking along the sea front in the bitter wind was like being Scott of the Antartic ("my God this is a terrible place"). The miserable cafe on the pier took about two hours to serve a sandwich with curling edges, full of grease.
Bill Gates was not in his dumpster. The Internet cafe was closed.

How close are you to Area 51?

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:43 PM

Hehehe....only about 250 miles away...but we did use their technology to power the B-2

The lottery is about £10 million (that's about $14 mill to you) twice a weak (it's done on Wed and Sat). Usually sat is a bit more. Sometimes they have rollovers where nobody won the last time so it effectively doubles next time.

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:46 PM

It works the same way here....wed and sat and rolled over if no one wins....it could be me....well IT COULD!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not aquainted with that miserable cafe on the peir, but I do know that Internet cafe. It was closed last time I went down there (montague street). Bill must have been in Iceland opposite the pier. It is suprisingly warm compared to the dumpster.

Indeed it could. That's the national lottery's motto - "It could be you". I blew the grand total of £2 on wed and sat (same nos). Finger's crossed!!! and for your $20 investment too!

**barrk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:52 PM

It sure would be fun!!!!!!!!!! I have great plans for doing good stuff for others with enough left to help ourselves too!!! Good luck to you too!

That er, "technology" they used in Independence Day, have you managed to replicate it yet from the alien craft?

But as you say you are more likely to be abducted by aliens

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 04:57 PM

What are the odds? 14 million to 1 isn't it? You actually do have more chance of aliens landing i reckon.

I think its Warwick street next to Kall Kwik and two doors along from a blue plaque saying that Shelly froze his ass off here

Knocking back the cherry brandy hidden in a brown paper bag I guess

**chrisjk** · Apr 30th, 2001, 05:05 PM

you know you're right it is warwick street. I was hoping no one would notice. Jeez, i should know these things. montague street is actually over the other side near Maccy D's.

Yes we have...expect the "Tool Shop" to have some really wild products any day now

Our state lottery is Mon, Weds and the major prize rolls over each week, hasn't been won in a while so is approx $5 million, hmmm...about $15 USD.

**Pix** · May 1st, 2001, 01:14 PM

Chris, you're the only other person I know apart from Inspector Gadget who says Wowsers

**barrk** · May 1st, 2001, 01:17 PM

Cool Pix...you know Inspector Gadget!!!!!! What's he like in real life....is he as good looking as he is on TV????

**Pix** · May 1st, 2001, 01:23 PM

He's not bad actually, quite a nice person

However, the same cannot be said for Penny

**chrisjk** · May 1st, 2001, 01:38 PM

he he, Insp Gadget is where I got it from

And Penny was a fox!! At least when I was younger.

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 02:46 PM

Hey Chris! I won $11 in the lottery!

This would be wonderful except I bought a $20 ticket

Well, that is marginally better than buying a $9 ticket and loosing.

Nice one! yeah but I bet you usually win nothing...

I haven't checked yesterdays numbers yet...must do so sometime

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 03:30 PM

Unfortunately it's not enough to come harass you Brits yet but I'll keep trying! You're safe for the time being!

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 03:32 PM

*disappointed*

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:07 PM

When I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**chrisjk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:10 PM

and good luck to you. However my good luck doesn't appear to bring said luck because I wish myself good luck all the time and it never happens

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:12 PM

Yeah...I hear some guys have a hard time getting lucky

If they're poms that goes without saying

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:22 PM

Oh, that's right...we were talking about the lottery weren't we?

**chrisjk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:23 PM

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:24 PM

**chrisjk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:25 PM

*spank*

**barrk** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:28 PM

**parksie** · May 3rd, 2001, 04:31 PM
