Here's a story in the Kent area about a bingo hall in Maidstone that was victim to an attempted break in by two teenagers aged 16 and 17........

.....Dressed in camoflague they first tried to break into an upper entrance before giving up and scaling the rooftops to try to find access that way........with no success as one of them became trapped and had to be rescued by the authorities!

What makes this more unbelievable is that this was attempted in broad daylight and people were even queuing outside the premises to get in for the first session of the day!!!!

Apparantley the youths were just wanting to 'take pictures' of the bingo hall.......yeah right!!!!!!!

The only thing they ended up taking though at the end of it was the precious time of the police and fire services........

Not so long ago we had the most people ever playing a game of bingo......how do we better that? By having the Worlds HIGHEST game of bingo ever played!!!!!

A bingo manager has set themselves the challenge of reaching the highest point in the World (which is Mount Everest and not Blackpool tower as some people think!) and calling a game of bingo with some nutty players, and all in the name of charity!!!

Apparently he has been in training for this task by calling at the top of Canary Wharf in London! Although I do think the smog filled city of London is slightly more pleasing than the oxygen starved summit of the globe!!!!!

My best wishes to all involved in this worthwhile event and if you want to find out more and maybe sponsor the expedition then just follow the link:
