Sorry James, I know that you are a veteran of this game that is played 
not only here but in many planets throughout the Galaxy. But under the 
S.F. pretentious goal bird rules. The almost good doctor is allowed time 
to recover from the nasty surprise that Sven delivered. And do have 
respect for this aged veteran of many, many years.

:-P

But Stephen - as a long-standing veteran of the game with many years 
experience playing it, even after a day stuck in bed due to illness, I 
had fully expected the good Doctor John to have returned and elucidated 
where his next move would be.  With all due respect to the other veterans 
of the game, what with the many decades of experience between the entire 
group of us, even a surprise from Sven might have caused such an 
experienced player to have moved a little more quickly on to the next 
station, even if it was across the diagonal.

:P

Sorry, RL intervened. So, keeping it topical:

Samantha, who is sitting on my right hand, is near fainting in 
anticipation of a move. And we must take her points into account as she 
is abreast of the score.
Hmm!
The play is reversed and the goodish doctor forfeits his turn as one bad 
turn deserves another. Throw the dice again.

Foo.

And I hope the RL stuff isn't too serious, John.

I guess that means it's your go again, Stephen. :)

I take advantage of James's temporary indisposition and head for:
Goodge Street.

No. Just work-related sh*t. Had to rewrite a complete Justification of
Resources before the dead-line (today at midday).
Left work early and took the Feegle to the park with his best friend
Ellie this afternoon.
