Hopping Happy : Hoplongs JP Story

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Huge congratulations to Hopalong and his partner Ladymouse who scooped the Lava Lounge Jackpot.

After he had recovered from the shock Hoppy composed himself long enough to answer a few questions on his win!

What do you enjoy about online Bingo?

We both enjoy have a chat and a laugh and the socialising side of the site and all the great chat hosts who really make you feel welcome specially me lucky mascot Dan lol (note from Aly..Dan is still waiting on his pint and bag of dry roasted peanuts!)

How did you feel when you had 1 to go?

I thought I was doing well as I had already won line and two lines but didn’t have a clue about the jackpot.

How did you feel when you won?

After ladymouse told me what I had won I was shocked and it still took an hour or so to sink in. I even checked Saturday morning to make sure I was not dreaming. 

What will you spend it on?

I’m going to clear some bills first of all and I think a nice holiday for me ladymouse and the boys.

Will you be treating ladymouse to something nice?

Taking her on holiday and a little shopping

Do you have a good luck message for your LiveBingo friends?

Don’t give up hope keep trying as I never thought I would win anything like this so good luck every one it can be done   

It’s true it can happen to anyone. Don’t forget the big share hours. You may not win the jackpot but you can share in the good fortune as many roomies did the night Hopalong won.

Once again WAY TO GO Hoppy. (Note from Aly….it’s my birthday on Wednesday wink wink)

Meet The Gang!

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

We know so much about all of you its time for us to tell you all about ourselves!

This week we lift the lid on Tag Team CH Donna and CH Polly.

If you have a burning question you would like to ask our chat hosts email aly@livebingo.co.uk and I will add it to the profile questions (as long as it is not rude lol).

CH Name: Donna

About Me: Hmmmm well what can I say I’m from the Emerald Isle and was defo born with the gift of the gab but I do think the luck of the Luck of the Irish skipped me at birth!  Murphy loves me I think as his law rules my life, if it can go wrong you can guarantee that for me it will! lolllllll PINEAPPLES – I am the pineapple queen, I love them, why – well why not?? They are the best thing in the world ever; I think they could be the key to world peace!!  I want to be Mrs Delmonte and think there should be purple pineapples! I’d like to be a teacher, I hope to do a PGCE.  Home Economics is what I’d like to teach but I think I need to improve my cooking skills first…. I’ve had numerous cooking disasters, just ask me about the cherry cake or the spag bol I cooked before! Lol (note from Aly….Donna once called me from her holidays to ask can you grill fry chips because she bought the wrong ones. It wasn’t her fault she exclaimed she don’t speak Spanish!)

Lucky Number: 27 – I say lucky is more favourite as it always lets me down (I blame Murphy and his stupid law)

Favourite Pastime:  Converting roomies into being pineapple loving loonies just like me!

Favourite Music: Pink, Black eyed Peas, U2, Oasis, Kings of Leon…… bits of everything really, love all the chart stuff and love all the old school cheesy pop stuff!! hehe

Favourite Foods: I don’t think I need to answer this one you all know the answer – Pineapples!!!!!!

Star Sign:  Sagittarius

Funniest Chat Experience: There have been a few! but one of the funniest was when I got sacked lol During our Beat the House chat game I lost again, the lava louts beat me (a whitewash!!) it had been a week of me losing constantly so Aly had enough, she said I had blown the cg budget too many times and sacked me!  I went to the room told them I had been sacked, said my goodbyes.  I then left the room and Aly came in, at first they didn’t believe it but as I left and Aly pretended to be looking for another CH to come in and cover they started to think it was true, Codie was also playing along in Wonderland so between the three of us we had everyone wound up and falling for it – roomies took a vow of silence and some went to CS to find out what was happening, meanwhile I was almost in tears being relayed what was going on in the rooms it was so funny!  They never believe it now when I say I’m getting sacked again! Lol

If I Won The Lava Jackpot I Would:  Travel!!! I want to see as much of the world as I can, experience as many different cultures as possible! So it would definitely take a big win!  The other thing would of course to buy a hugeeeeee pineapple plantation and open up a speciality shop where all products were pineapple related….. I’d produce my own pineapple wine!  

CH Name: CH Polly

About Me: I’m married with 2 grown up kids, 2 grandkids 1 dog called pooh and a hamster that bites. Funny thing I don’t own a parrot!!  I have an extremely dyslexic keyboard which when I’m rich I will replace. I intend to grow old totally disgracefully (the day after I grow up!!!)

Lucky Number: 3

Favourite Pastime: listening to music

Favourite Music: Rock / Southern Rock / Blues

Favourite Foods: curry as long as its vindaloo n chilli cos I like it hot hot hot and catfish cos I just like
it!

Star Sign: Saggitarius

Funniest Chat Experience: Having all the roomies making animal noises at me instead of speaking. I still to this day have no idea why!

If I Won The Lava Jackpot I Would: Go somewhere hot hot hot oh and buy a new keyboard

Feedback Fiver: Too Crunch or Not Too Crunch

Friday, June 18th, 2010

With the help of our own little Pineapple Princess this weeks feedback fiver is food related!

Donna says cheese and onion crisps rule and that ready salted are the rejected ones. What is your crisp/snack of choice and why? Bel said flowers it took me a week to figure out she meant skips!!!

I wonder if Walkers make a pineapple flavour potato snack?

A bigun and a littleun. Dan bigun is in the royal air force. Littleun Isabel is my ray of sunshine. Never a cloudy day with Bel about. I live in Derbyshire in my little house that I recently bought (very grown up!). I have been a chat host for 4 years now and it’s the best job in the world.

The day before my birthday the chat hosts decided to play a prank on me. The day finally dawned woo hoooo it’s my birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. The chat hosts had warned the players as soon as I came in to all log out. I picked my time…busiest hour of the day to run in to get inundated with birthday wishes….IT’S MY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYYYYY I shouted as I run in the room. 60 players all logged out at the same time including the chat host. I was left stood in an empty room all by myself on my birthday.

If I won the Lava Jackpot:Pay for the fencing to be done in the garden and take Bel on a blow out holiday with a spa and we could have our toes painted in the sun together!

Feedback Fiver: Housemate Heaven or Hell

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Big Brother! It’s the last ever Big Brother this summer.  It got the little grey matter working.

Who would be your ultimate best and worst housemate to share the same living space for 12 weeks? My favourite housemate would be Stephen Fry. Not only is he Quiet Interesting lol but so tall he could clean the windows without the step ladder. My worst housemate would be some tall, tanned, leggy wag.  All gucci’ed up and afraid to break a nail.

Not that I’m insecure lol.

Letter from Ette!

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

From time to time I recieve an email so funny I have to share it with you all!

This week our Ette sent me an email, lets just say after lots and lots of laughing, wiping tears from my eyes, coughing fits and fighting for breath I decided to post it on my blog. Thankyou Ette for chasing the clouds away with your email.

Extracts from letters written to local councils. These are REAL letters written to local authorities.


1. It’s the dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

2. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

3. I wish to complain that my father twisted his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.

4. Their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

5. I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other day that blew them off.

6. My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?

7. I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

8. Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.

9. I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

 

 

10. 50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster, and 50% are just plain filthy.

11. I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

12. The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

13. Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

14. Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now is in three pieces.

15. I want to complain about the farmer across the road. Every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up and it’s now getting too much for me.

16. The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

17. Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third, so please send someone round to do something about it.

18. I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man on top of me every night.

19. Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

20. I have had the clerk of works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

21. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broke and we can’t get BBC2.

22. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.

23. He’s got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can’t take it any more .

I haven’t laughed so much in ages thankyou Ette xx
