Ya know, sometimes I drop back to visit a thread only to discover I have no idea how it got to where it went.
And really, thats pretty neat.

Email updates link to the thread/post and not to a category.
And categories don't matter, when you look at "Your Posts"/"Your topics" either. :wink:
That was really neat Duke...thanks
I thought some folks would be interested. Have you ever played Bingo? One of the sites I visited said it's commonly known as Beano in the US? It dates from 14th century Italy, apparently. Anyway...
My town is full of retired folk and Bingo parlors...they even award $500 jackpots

From the very late 14th century, really. :wink:
(First officially recorded as a children's game - called 'lotto' - in 1778.[Changed name from 'lotto' to 'bingo' in the 1930's.])
Just been doing some research. There's a big national chain here, called Mecca Bingo (not very PC!). There's a big one just behind my house. Apparently they have over 3 million members (!) and 150 "houses", and a national game run over a network of some kind, with a top prize of £200,000 (over $300,000)! How crazy is that!?!

Just in case you come back here, Walter:
Bingo's origin can be traced back to 1530, to an Italian lottery called "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia". It is still played every Saturday in Italy.

Let's just agree it was a long time ago! :wink:
Greetings, Xmom, and welcome to A2K. A delightful community, but I must offer a word of caution:
These people have a fairly short attention span and nearly every thread starts out fairly stimulating and the subject matter is quite diverse, but, and this will happen almost every single time.... the conversation turns to Bingo.
It's a phenomenon which I can not explain.
Just roll with it.
( And watch out for a guy named Panzade. We call him the Bingo King. )
Hello , I am Bi-Polar Bear...softspoken, humble, a bit shy, introverted, pious and stunningly good looking. You'll like it here at A2K.....
Xmom - I am very sorry for getting carried away and sidetracking your thread. I have to ask though, have you ever played Bingo?
Dammit Grand Duke!!!! Everbody!!!! Hold your cards.....
I'm just being friendly, Bear! Loads of people play Bingo. If Xmom plays bingo, then we've got something in common and it'll help her feel more welcome. If she doesn't, well, I'll find something else to chat to her about! No worries.

G'day Dr Mom and welcome.
Grand Duke is not posting much these days under that name - so our bingo isn't up to date
Thanks I feel better now.
