It's been very quiet in here for the past week.

Oh sorry. I had the volume turned right down :o(

[pen] You are Daryl Harper and I claim my 5 rand.

Howzat!

I think if you consider, you'll
Find that the game called Wizards' Duel
Has joined the choir invisibule -
In other words, it's dead.

It's not too much to do with me -
I've played but intermittently -
So would anybody mind if we
Played something else instead?

Not in the least. And an extra point for rhyming.

I was at a Burns supper on Saturday night at which the songs were accompanied by mandolin and musical saw. Not quite as silly as swanee kazoo but an interesting combination nonetheless.

[rab] There's evidence that it was 'cutting edge' music in the heyday of the mandolin.

Bugger. Missed Burns Night. Always meant to go to one of them.

[Projoy] It's not too late. Burns Night is tonight - Rab is obviously not a true Scotsman if he's prepared to go to a supper on the wrong day just because it's the weekend (unless he's going to another tonight).
We'll be having our regular 'confuse-a-foreigner' night tonight with guests from Spain, Germany and China. This is one of the times when my Scottish blood, through the maternal line, takes precedence over the Welsh, on the paternal side.

Alas, philspub is acting as a neutral venue for a skittles cup semi-final tonight, for which no supper is required. Any other week, and I'd've been able to do haggis for the skittles supper.
I suspect I might cook some tonight anyway, and have a small glass of whisky (Scapa 1993 is looking very inviting) to wash it down.

I suspect I'll be having a Ledaig 1990 before bedtime.

[INJ] Hate to disappoint you, but I am not in any reasonable sense a Scotsman.

Well, Burns Night was a non-event here. I did however have my birthday party. Involving a cake made of marshmallows, and being spanked for my years in the middle of a rowdy bar at 1am. It was great!

They were all oldies, were they? Serves you right, young man. :-)

Worse, they were from the south. They have strange ways, down there.

I'm enjoying the new Cat on a Warm Tin Roof game (being a fan of the various film clubs). However, I was wondering if it was worth having an entry convention to differentiate between films, books, & songs... I was thinking - keep films in bold, books in italics, and songs in quote marks?
