     Yeah, you have to do that kind of tube shape with your tongue to 
profile it along with a good sucking technique with your lips. You're right 
though, sometimes you felt the sharpness if you got it wrong.  ;)

Well, I'll go to South Kensington, in the hope that you will fall into the trap
of dallying at the V&A  or the science museum.

I don't think you can do that - who's doing the adjudication here?

If the adjudicator says that your move is OK, then my move is Harrow 
Road.  Of course, we need to first agree on the adjudication. :-)
