I did indeed. Loved the tug of war (we won), The marathon was a right 
muck up. And those damn colonists and their priapic flag.
Bad show that was.


Samantha is now confused and can't remember who's up next.
So let's get this straight and up front.
The current order is Jim next, little me then John. If he can stay awake.

As long as you don't get a rude awakening. :)

PS
Q. How do you get Sven's eyes to light up?

No way!! Look at Rule 349.5.7 You aren't in huff but unless you retract
that move and demonstrate (to Samantha's satisfaction) your re-entrant,
you will be.

Oh, I considered that, but if you look at rule 349.5.7(b), you'll see I 
get a pass because I used the diagonal.

Regardless, Samantha, as always, is satisfied.

Dammit, I missed that. Mind you, it is written in 8pt font as a footnote
on page 7000 of the book.

As she should be, dealing with a strapping lad like yourself.

Meanwhile, Stephen, Buzz! Hesitation

I find it's helpful to have the digital version of the rules - then you 
can easily resize the text. :)

Entirely coincidentally, Samantha also prefers the digital edition.  Just 
thought I'd note that as well.

Dear oh dear.
I've not been asleep, nearly resting my eyes.
Turnham Green. There is a Barnicle Bill's chippy there that stays open late.


  I thought it was Jim's turn.
