Do you want me to put the Dutch game out of its misery, or shall I just let you guess how many 'o's after the 'M' in Mornington are required. (It's not very many).

(rab) How many, FFS? I've tried up to twelve. Thanks for fixing the apostrophe problem, BTW.

[Rosie] It was three. You had a typo with "Crescent."

(Darren) I have a very red face. It's the monicker effect.

Three.

A story game has been created from the ashes of Dutch.
[Rosie] Today was a perfect day for the garden it was warm enough here in North Wilts to have lunch outside (south facing garden). If the sun shines tomorrow the curtains will be drawn to cut the glare on the tv while the Grand Prix is on.

(Inkspot) Not (gasp) Swindon? Nice here too, max 17.4°C.

Near to Swindon, just south of J16 of the M4. Little old ladies would lie in front of bulldozers than see Wootton Bassett become part of Swindon, and the town of Swindon is never mentioned in polite company.

I haven't got it yet :(

(Inkspot) Swindon must have something going for it even though they don't build steam locos there anymore because my niece's finacé commutes there every day from Chepstow while she herself works in Cardiff. Mad! (Phil) You disappoint me, man. Why? How the fuck should I know?

Not that one should really moan about it, but the clock in here is over an hour fast. At least, I hope it is.

The server thought we were in Berlin. I've now told it we're in London. (Although, as it happens, I'm in Croatia so I hadn't noticed the clock-skew).

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. I'll look at this more closely when I return.

[Rosie] Ah, of course. I had the first two words as "Hope the" and couldn't get my head past that.

[Rosie] Having lost your email address, you might want to look into the Pilgrim game... Likewise Simons, Botherer.

(Projoy) Just Been There, Done That. My email address is at http://www.geocities.com/pantsmcprofiles/profiles.html

[CdM] You just had to insert economics, didn't you. *falling around giggling*

The clock seems to have corrected itself now - I think. I'm confused by being in a different timezone.

For those who have an interest...

[Néa, CdM] Seeing that post reminded me of a thought I had in Hong Kong, which is that it appears to be rapidly approaching a phenomenon closely related to the 'Shoe Event Horizon'.
Currently perfectly good 20 storey buildings are being torn down to make space for 40 storey ones. This demolition increases the pressure on commercial space, thus increasing the value of the space in those buildings. Before long, before a building is complete the most advantageous thing to do economically will be to pull it down again and start buiding an even taller one. This process then becomes a self-reinforcing spiral.
