Election news or bingo news, which would you rather see?
- 07 May 10
Are you an online bingo player fed up to the back teeth with the election news?

For most of the population the whole election process and run up to the big night of the election vote count is a bit like having six weeks of root canal treatment – painful, necessary but something that you would prefer not to have to endure!
Candis Bingo launches – watching paint dry springs to mind
- 05 May 10
Candis Bingo launches and we have to say it has arrived just as we thought that there could not possibly be any more new online bingo sites. Hot on the heels of the other newbie, Red Bus Bingo the two sites could not be further away from each other on the spectrum of online bingo. Red Bus Bingo is clearly aimed at the young market with the almost pre-school graphics, whereas the Candis Bingo site is aimed at the middle aged mumsy type whose idea of excitement is whipping up a tray of delicious muffins and popping on an Enya CD to do the cleaning. Not of course that there is anything really wrong with either new bingo site just that they lack a certain excitement and that is most certainly what we are all seeking now.
