Well if you don't know by now the bingo callers of the year could only finish second behind the eggheads!!!!! And i am still getting grief about not getting my question right on the show; not only from my colleagues at Gala TV but also from my mother and her friends!!!!

Bingo team take on the Eggheads on BBC2 this Friday!!!

Just to warn you guys that there is a team of former bingo callers of the year (including myself) taking on the 'greatest quiz team in Britain' the Eggheads this coming Friday (22nd) at 6pm on BBC2. If you don't know what the programme is all about then take a look at the link below where a team of students won over £70,000!!!!



I can't tell you how we did until after the show is aired! But my next big post will be telling you all about my day at the BBC and meeting up with past bingo champions!


Make sure you watch it. I've already set my video to record!!!!!!!

reaction to missed claims post on wed feb 6

In my years as a bingo caller I have had tons of missed claims: but in 7 years I can safely say that about 3 or 4 of those were down to me, the rest were late/quiet or non-existent shouts at all. If I ever had an altercation with a customer afterwards I would always say "If you shouted as loud as you are complaining now then I would have never missed your claim!"

In the case of the lady getting £9000 after missing her win earlier on in the week, I just think that it is the same scenario as I have had countless of times-but now the money is so large in bingo customers are not only coming in with there dabbers and lucky charms: they are also coming in with lawyers and threats of negative publicity if they don't get winnings that they 'feel' is theres!

Come on, we all know the rules of the game, so take my advice and SHOUT the place down when you have a claim-even if its only for a fiver-and make the callers job a little bit easier!
