When I was at UMIST my ex got me into pinball. At the time I had no idea about it. I had eschewed pinball as a teen in favour of sprites or vector based entertainment. I once dabbled with fruit machines, but after blowing 90% of a weeks wages in two hours on the way home, I never went back to them. I had just started work so a weeks wages was not much but it was still everything I had earned.  Anyway, I digress, this is supposed to be about pinball. Mentally I had pigeon-holed pinball alongside pong! Thanks to my ex I learned that pinball had a lot more to offer than simply knocking a ball about the place.

This brings me to the problem. I wanted to play pinball the other day and nobody could tell me where to find a table. So far I have found one pub 10 miles away which has a pinball table and that is the William Cobbett in Farnham. The Simpsons table provided a couple of hours of good entertainment. It looks to me like pinball is dying. Perhaps I was just lucky playing pinball in Manchester. The pubs round here are really dull because of the lack of a student population.

If you know of others within a 20 mile radius of GU17 9QG then please let me know!
