Hello all.....I'd like to tell you a true story so sit back kiddies and be ready to be amazed and even a little frightened...
This story begins in a hotel not far from where i live...
This story started on a thursday in the pokie room of my local pub...
Occasionally i enjoy a small flutter on the pokies so one thursday afternoon i went to to my local pub to run a few dollars through the pokie machines...
Well i'd been there for about 2 hrs when i noticed the place was starting to fill with a bus load of elderly ladies,"THE BLUE RINSE SET"...
They came into the pub all smiles and loaded up with thier shinny $1 coins...
i'd been watching a few high rollers betting large amounts of money and not even flinching when loseing big and thought to myself they were the toughest and biggest gamblers in the room....
Boy was i in for a shock...
After putting in the last of my what seemedly measly $50 i walked over to my mate and began to watch him lose his dough..
Unaware to me almost every machine had been filled up by this bus load of elderly ladies even the row of machines next to my friend were taken...
Watching my friends machine was starting to bore me so i took a side ways glance at a couple of women on the machines next to us...
"BIG MISTAKE"..All of a sudden these two elderly women with thier snow white hair with a blue rinse through it stood up and just went bezerk..
"What the hell do you think your doing,stop watching our machines,your bringing us bad luck"so get the"bleep" away from us...
Yep these seemedly quiet little ol ladies were attacking me with arms flying all over the place and blurting words that would even make a sailor blush..
It seemed that because they weren't winning it somehow was my fault...
Well i was stunned to say the least..
I looked to my friend for some back up but he thought he would play too by saying " he's not with me ladies"..
Well the verbal abuse was getting louder as these women got closer to me..
I actually started to get worried that they were going to give me a thrashing with thier handbags..lol..
I began to look for the nearest exit as i planned my escape..
Needless to say i made a very prompt exit with my tail between my legs and a badly bruised ego...
Yep a rather young,strong man had been chased out of my local pokie room..
I to this day i have never returned to that pokie room on a pension thursday in fear of the "TRUE QUEENS OF THE POKIES" making a total whimp of me again...
So i warn you "BEWARE OF THE TRUE QUEENS OF THE POKIES",those lovely blue rinse set!!!!!
