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.

[pen] Sorry, what?
Gaaah! He's done it again!
I think CdM should be lynched tout suite
The weather has changed again, now it's raining.
The weather has changed again, now it's stopped.
The weather has stopped? Are you Chicken Licken?
I have just had a water meter fitted.
Saturday felt like August. Today felt like November.
[Rosie] For monitoring your use or your production?
"It is vitally important to get a receipt."
Here, the "p" is silent, as in bathing.
At my age a p is very frequent.
Just don't get yourself stuck in a q.
P before you get stuck in a lift.
There are more Qs in the ladies, though.
Speak nicely and mind your P's and Q's.
Eat "Ps" with honey; keep them on knife.
All we are saying: give "Ps" a chance
Wishing you a better 2024 than 2023 was.
Happy New Year, everyone! May we start the year as we mean to continue!
Does anyone here live in Pease Pottage, Sussex?
There once was a man from Pease Pottage...
Who lived in a tumbledown cottage (problem looming...)
His roof lay agape (Indeed. How to pad?)
In a circular shape (Just keep going chaps)
So heating consumed a huge wattage
...(The end.)
Nice to be back after a long absence
If only the server code wouldn't rot so.
Does it smell when it goes off, then?
What does bad code smell like? Suggestions please.
I have a bad code, maybe it is 'flu.
Let's have a toast to the absent members.
Is anybody absent? Would you make yourselves known?
I'm not here but I am all there.
I'm all here but I'm not all there.
I'm here, there and everywhere - like a beetle
Chalky, did you not really mean a Beatle?
Chalky works at least eight days a week.
That'll all stop when I'm sixty four, Pen
You'll be eight squared but I'm nine squared.
Eighty-one square feet? Bigger than I thought.
I'm 7.61577310586 squared. Still too long to retirement.
1966 in my view was a vintage year.
You're a rebel just for kicks now
Chalky, you rebel! Did you mean "You are"...?
[Chalky] Chalky! Welcome to the resistance!
And while we're about it have some capacitance.
There doesn't seem to be anything current here
I am still in shock from CdMalky's volt-face.
I do hope none of this is terminal.
Not likely. I'm now on a trans mission.
Watt are you all on about?
If you ask me 'tis a circuitous route indeed
Chalky, I see you are joining the wokerati.
Whoa! Karate can be a very painful pastime.
As is Farnarkling, so I have found out
Ignore the bolding....not properly awake yet begorrah...
Pablo! I didn’t know you weren’t Irish!
I'm not - don't know where that came from
Equally, I am not Welsh, indeed to goodness.
Neither I a Scot, hoots mon
Whereas I am half-Welsh and half-Scottish, Duw Duw the noo.
That places you in the County of Eee-by-Gum
Chalky! You've come so far. No backsliding!
I am divided into three halves, all non-English.
What's your definition of a half? Think again!
(pen) maybe Bismarck is including his other half.
Is it your round? I'll have a half.
This is obviously a game of two halves
Hidden textMy father once had a Latin teacher who said to his class "Will you be listening to me now? The whole of Gaul is divided into three halves." But Rosie was also correct.
Pure bred here. But no Kennel Club certificate
Does that mean that you can go dogging?
As my beloved dog died last week - no :^(
[Chalky] So sorry to hear that. :( Have a *hug*
Are you going to get a new one?
Thanks [CdM]. [RtG] very doubtful
Dog condolences, dear Chalky. Can't imagine losing ours.
My cat was seventeen yesterday.
Still going strong.
So you know its precise birth date, then?
It's her official birthday, I'll have you know.
I fear the worst. I don't fear the best.
My official birthday's in 2003 but nobody's fooled.
I can't be arsed. It's too bleedin' 'ot.
Conservatives collapse, Labour elected, Right Honourable Farage.
Well, now I want that F-bomb displaced off-page...
Happy
to
provide
some
assistance.
If there's one person you can count on...
Then it's that bloke who calls himself Abacus
My pal "Fingers" McLone is also very reliable.
I blame entropy. Always have done, always will.
[Superman] What gave you that random thought, mate?
Rogue alpha particle(s) emitted by kryptonite molecule, probably
Kryptonite's not an alpha-emitter. But booze is.
[Rosie] You're right. Apparently kryptonite emits 'vita' particles.
It's Kryp tonite but what about tomorrow nite?
[Rosie] Blud perhaps? Prediction is a mug's game.
[Pen] I find entropy's an easy woe target.
September, and onward towards winter chill and fog.
You'd think. Still sweaty and wearing shorts here.
This must be a most alluring sight, pen
It's still very hot in Southwest Louisiana.
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock. Mr Spock.
Hidden textI am unsure if that is 8 words or 14. Or 11. I have now also learned that in hide tags apostrophes do not work. Which means I sound like Spock.
Illogicality is the opium of the lazy mind.
Not if you try and elucidate its structure.
Does the sun know when it should set?
Whenever it gets that sinking feeling, I suspect.
Well, September at its end, winter upon us.
There is no winter coming soon in Louisiana.
The clocks have gone back exactly sixty minutes!
Not here, they haven’t!
They will soon, though.
No they won’t!
They go forwards at this season down under.
Correct! Because the earth rotates in the opposite direction.
Only because you're looking at it upside down.
Bloody snow, the very cheek of the weather!
The freakin' weather here cannot make up its mind.
Finally, my leaking roof is fixed. Touch wood.
My roof is tiles, not wood - so there.
Freakin' rodents in my house drive me crazy.
I've trouble with my mouse too. New battery.
At last the brandy butter season has begun.
My Christmas cakes are still demanding brandy tots.
Drunken young kids have no place at Christmas
As do Christmas cakes that make unreasonable demands.
They serve the Chieftan o' the pudding race.
Is that the first line of a poem?
No way, who'd start a poem like that?
My sources tell me that it's sick Burns
Read the poetry of his cousin 'Chinese' Burns.
I am popping by, just to say "Hi!"
Hi, thanks for popping in. Happy New Year.
This game always makes me want After Eights.
Surely we need a mint called Exactly Eights?
It'd certainly help me with my portion sizes...
Finished a tin of Quality Street. I win.
Is the prize a tin of Quality Street?
Sadly it's not, just Quality Street withdrawal syndrome.
What? Surely one cannot really withdraw from chocolates?
I heard some advice at bellringing practice today.
"You need another handful up your tail end."
Pull the other one, it's got bells on!
It is good to be back in the Morniverse.
Lola Violet's music makes me a happy person.
Parma Violet sweets make me a happy person.
Parma violents! Violent creams! On my shopping list.
Today, is my birthday, Happy Birthday to me.
May your cake be plentiful and candles few
And of course, may you grow old disgracefully
A fortnight (ish) left for profundity in octets!
Well, I had better make use of it.
Indeed! I'm inspired to even deeper profundity. Um...
In the wise words of the old sage:
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
