Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....
Software, you really must realize that this is a family friendly site and that the word 'vegetable' should never have any less prominence than the words 'meat' and 'three'. I bet you hate Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower too. ;-)
[Rosie] Parliamentary rip-offs? NO. INJ has it in a nutshell, this game has been like the Mouse Trap. [INJ] Toxic debt? NO. much less specific to the current times
[Softers] Thanks mate :-) Delighted and all that. However, is this a poisoned chalice/baton I be picking up? I really don't want to set a new one unless I know for sure that all interested parties are going to play nicely and in a regular manner. [In otherwords: I'm not sure if I can sustain a chairpersonship for 9+ weeks - which is what you had to do]
[INJ - Unlikely but true. In this forum, I would never post a reply without checking the facts first -- you are all way too canny :) Here is a Wiki quote: "In April 2003, three-time guest panellist Stephen Fry announced that he was boycotting the show following the sacking of Angus Deayton. Fry described Deayton's disposal as "greasy, miserable, British and pathetic"."]
[Software] Metallic? - NO [Rosie] Portable? - NO some chuckles in the audience [Chalky] - Rocky? - YES [Re SF - Actually, now you remind me, I do vaguely remember that.]
[Rosie] Mah Jong setup? - NO [Software] Colosseum? - NO [CdM] The rock, the whole rock and nothing but the rock? - YES (technically I don't know that, but don't worry)
[Raak] Sculpture? - YES [CdM] Specific purpose? - It may have had, but I don't know it [Chalky] Herculean Pillar? - NO [Dujon] Large Carving? - YES (Applause)
