Thumbs up to Paul and Louise for another top night of pinball and talking shit with a top bunch of guys and girls.  Good to see some more "Better halves" attending as well. 

Ah Firepower.  Was having a couple of warm up games with Mr Fairlane earlier in the night, and the machine was being a total bastard.  So I didn't rate myself a chance.

I think the best strategy on Firepower if you're playing for points in a comp is to avoid those retched stand ups early on, and shoot for the top lanes to multiply your bonus.
