Each Move Must Consist Of Precisely Eight Words

Just as it says on the tin. What happens in the game may be debated in the game: perhaps it'll be a conversation, perhaps a word-limited reprise of various games we play, or whatever.

Although that makes me wonder if it's working...
Weekend, folks! Plans? Good newses? Positive check-ins? Hurrahs?
Baroque concerts (hurrah!), taiko class, artistic composition class.
I loafed, ate chips, made jam, did ironing.
Loafed? A latter-day term for "ate bread"?
I've been double Pfizered. Felt blah next day.
[KagS] Good that you're done. I Pfelt Pfine afterwards.
Still three 'narf weeks 'til my second course.
Despite having had Covid, second jab also taken.
My jabs have matured, going to France tomorrow!
[pen] well done. We're in France in September.
I wouldn't touch France with a barge pole.
I wouldn't touch Poland with a French baguette.
An overbaked baguette is a pretty fearsome weapon.
But the penne is mightier than the sauce.
"Vermicelli"? Stringed instruments infested with rats, I'm told.
Pentre bach yng Nghymru yw Tal-y-ban.
Food crime: stabbed with a piece of Parmesan.
[Rosie] Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu yng Nghymru wgah'nagl fhtagn.
(Raak) If you say so, my good man.
[Rosie] Are you channeling Bluebottle, my good man?
(pen) Not consciously, m'dear, but as I heard it all first time round it could be in there somewhere, along with lurgi of course.
[Rosie] I guess that you have been sponned.
Yes, but I haven't fallen in the water.
[Rosie] Three moves at once. That's so Bohemian!
(Bools) Four, mate, positively Moldovan. Please keep up.
Dunno about you but I'm ready for autumn.
Are you feeling mellow and fruity, dear lady?
Harvest-fattened and mellow, if that's what you mean.
Should we interpret this self-assessment with satire?
Actually I've lost weight. Dog walking, smaller portions.
So your husky has shrunk in the wash?
No, I usually wear a Barbour for walking.
I walked to the barber two days ago.
So did I. And I regret it now.
Was the barber in Blaenau Ffestiniog or something?
[Rosie] Are you thinking of Shaun the Sheep?
[Rosie, penelope) Or quite possibly Shorn the sheep?
You will be slated for those remarks, ladies.
Always enjoy being recognised as a lady, Rosie :^)
Which definition of 'slated' Rosie? Uk or US?
(pen) UK. 'Twas a joke.. I dunno.. 'Dwn i'n gwbod.
[Rosie] I see. I'm Google Translate's best customer.
(pen) Cymraeg o'r Gwgl? Paid! Pentwr cachu ydy.
L' y'a longtemps qu'jé n'vos avais pon veu.
Colloquial Welsh is one thing, colloquial French another.
Ark at ee - out west's a proper job
I'd do colloquial Australian but no-one would understand
Ooh, I dunno, we've all watched Monty Python
All? Are you absolutely sure about that Rosie?
I can't help it if you weren't born.
Surely everyone knows about the dead parrot sketch?
T'was on the TV by the exploding penguin.
Penguin and parrot will be partners in mortality.
And dictionary neighbours, along with pangolin and panther.
Back to Blighty tomorrow. Mother's 80th. Family reunion.
Back home. Three days of cake and champagne.
Back on the lettuce and water diet, pen?
Were there any problems with the Covid passport?
None at all. Only Stena asked for it.
Terribly overexcited to see the fun continues online.
(nights) Reassuring isn't it? Great to see you
Builders building at eight on a Saturday. Sigh.
Lucky that you can find bnuilders since Brexit.
That's a huge finger you've got there, mate.
I only wish they were building for me.
nights, have you thought of selfbuilding with Lego?
That sounds like a dodgy euphemism to me.
Dodgy euphemism or not; a Lego house? Nah.
I dunno - tiling must be cheaper with Lego?
[Pablo] If you're only 18 inches tall, sure.
[pen] I am - I was struck by a lift
[Pablo] Oh. I was struck by a thought.
I hope you struck back with characteristic feistiness.
Happy New Year, Eight-word-smiths and all the others.
Happy New Year, let's hope it really is.
One week in. So how's it going, folks?
Not so good. My wife broke her foot.
Ouch. Limping along then. What about everyone else?
Feet are unbroken, but not a pretty sight.
[pen] now I have Covid, so not good.
Feet are mullered, but new insoles on order!
Mullered? Didn't know you were a German footballer.
[Softers] Bummer. Hope you don't get it bad.
[pen]how to compare? My throat was sore.
Hope the Covid afflicted are on the mend.
Still have a cough and feeling very heady.
How's everyone doing? Keep taking your vitamins, folks.
The best vitamin for remembering things: Vitamin B4.
Is that 'B4 I forget to take it'?
And more certainly B4 the best by date
Hurrah! I have tested negative. Hope it's over.
[Softers] Was that an LFT? Don't count your chickens...
[Pablo] Yes, three in a row, fingers crossed.
Hoorah, outbreak amongst colleagues. Obsessively testing daily, then.
Clear blue skies, sun shining, Friday. Deep joy.
Anyone want an NFT? Go on, take two.
