Advantages: Winning lots of money and cheap food and drink! Disadvantages: Coming home with empty pockets, and it can be very addictive
Being a poor suffering recent graduate, I'll go to anything where there's a chance of winning lots of money to pay off my student loan! I'm not much of a gambler myself, so I was a bit cautious going into my mum?s local Mecca in Rosehill. My mum's in her 60's and ever since I left home to go to uni, she's down her local Mecca club most nights. I'm one of those 'it's just a con, I'll never win' types. How wrong could I be! Mum?s won over £2000 in total! Whereas I?ve only won about £50!

The animation ranges from perfunctory to occasional flashes of brilliance. The character ...
of forty as it's an age group that I can relate to!!
The dilemmas each of the characters faced were very moving. The sorts of things they were going through are very much the sort of things that you might be advising your own best friend about. Well I say that although I have to admit that I don't actually have any friends who are Hollywood actresses. I particularly felt moved following Holly's story mainly because Marcus sort of reminded me of my former brother in law who treated my sister the same way that Marcus treated Holly!
