    Never tried it, going to go and see where this button is and have a go.
    Alcohol doesn't solve problems .... but then again, neither does milk.

    Found it. Didn't know the first 12 pubs up, but the 13th was my review of the Fellows in Dudley!!!

    3rd pub for me, although I'm sure it wont always be that soon. The first two were London ones which I've done very few of, and then Be.In Bristol - my review and Jon's photo.

    I noticed in one of Jon's photos the pub is apparently called "Be.In" since they're half way through putting the new sign up!

    I have played this too: I have even found myself shouting at the computer as one of my reviews hasn't popped-up after 20 clicks.

    I need help.

    Not just me then, I've been doing this for ages but if one of my own doesn't show up quite soon the darkness descends and the blood pressure rises.
    Ok, maybe just for one......................

    I also become rabid if somebody else gets half a dozen reviews before I get any, or worse, the same review that appears TWICE! - whilst i haven't started to stick pins in a doll of Quinno yet, i have wanted Luton Town to lose on the odd occasion - mentioning no names

    In all seriousness - I believe they only show reviews left in the last month.

I haven't tested this theory, but it's my impression that pubs with reviews up to a month old are the only ones available in this feature.
    Very good, there should be no closed pubs and they should be reviews from no more than 30 days ago. There are two other selection criteria too.

    No reviews from Soupy or Quinno?

    There are currently odds of 397 to 1 against you getting a review on any given randomise.

    A photograph is an obvious one.
