[CdM] Ah, but did you see where the race was won and lost: i.e. in the Ferrari Pit?

[CdM] I've heard trackside isn't so great, especially if you don't speak the local lingo. A friend of mine was phoned by someone at Spa to find out who had won the grand prix he'd just been watching, as he couldn't find out at the track.

Trackside at the British Grand Prix a few years ago, we were given little radios with earphones to get the trackside commentary, which was excellent. It's a lot more exciting close up - especially in the wet...

Shame about Dress Rehearsal. Never mind though, eh. Anyone have any ideas for new games?

I've just had one. An idea. Condensed books? Summarise the plot of a book in a particularly glib fashion, much like "So the Danish guy dies".

(nights) Good idea, not that I'd be the star contributor.

[nights] I think something similar has been done somewhere before - but it could be anywhere in the last 12 years, so I'm certainly up for a new version.

I am an occasional contributor to, but mostly an amused reader of the "Ridiculously Easy Poetry" game currently being played in another place. Certain opening lines seem to come up quite frequently, sometimes involving fleas. I wonder whether a poetry-based "hillocks" game would be enjoyable for a while ("If I should die and go to Innisfree"). Any thoughts?

[nights] We definitely played that game a couple of years ago -- iirc it involved three-word and then two-word summaries. That doesn't mean we couldn't resurrect it, of course.
[Kim] I like that idea...

[CdM] I think that was "Butler Did It" and it was more than a couple of years ago. :)

Well, as the consensus seems positive, I'll create the game.

Me, too.

I don't understand. Boo hoo hoo. What's the point of the new poetry game?
