Bingo and Chips

I remember the first time I ever went down to Wales to meet my in laws, we were dragged off to the " 'Stute" (the Miners Institute) by DH's mum and dad, and it was bingo night. I had never played bingo so politely declined a card, and sat there, not daring to speak, for most of the evening while this was taking place. Riveting stuff, I can tell you ?. I think it just reinforced my mother in law's opinion that I was a snotty English cow and DH should have chosen a nice Welsh girl instead! A couple of years ago, while visiting the family, we ran into the one she had originally got marked out for him. Enough said!!

Ah I see - yes we had it at school I remember. It a requirement for RCs- what's the reasons - I am genuinely interested please.

Teetime I could not agree more re the bingo but I would add that I would not be singing along to Vera Lynn type songs but Queen and the Rolling Stones would be different. I can tolerate Countdown because it does get my brain working but no other game shows.

Until I lived on my own we always had fish on Fridays, at school and at home for the reason that Ana gave.

In case there are any strict Catholics among them? We always had fish on Fridays for school dinner.

I loathe bingo and if I am ever in a care home and someone wants me to play it I will not be responsible for my actions. Likewise if I am put in a chair in a room with a TV with Countdown or thinking about it any game show at all. I like chips though but why do all care homes seem to have fish and chips for lunch on Fridays (yes I have been in lots and lots of care homes).

I'd sooner have forty bags of chips and no bingo! (I know - not those kind of chips, Grey! - but still!)

Congratulations !!!! You have won a game of Bingo.

sorry

Second prize 40 games of bingo but no chips?

How does one play Bingo? Do tell!
One may find it rather amusing!!

Sort of - made me laugh when I read it though.

This is a wind-up..... Isn't it?

Wouldn't

When I retired I vowed never to play Bingo or Bowls. 7 years on and I have stuck to that. So no thank you, but I would' mind the chips

Now, if you were talking about fish and chips.......
