Bloody hell, the game's suddenly gone mad.

I'm a bit flustered, so forgive me if I go and calm down at

"Total abstinence is so excellent a thing that it cannot be carried to too great an extent. In my passion for it I even carry it so far as to totally abstain from total abstinence itself." Mark Twain.


A stunning move.

I can only go to London Bridge.

I've even found myself acting as interpreter between a Norwegian and a Thai, all of us speaking English. The problem is that most Norwegians only learn English, German and French in school and many students are really lazy. We should all learn to speak and write at least 4 different languages. Whic...

I don't know, this game's like a London bus. You wait for a reply, then half a dozen come at once.

Okay, Prof, you beat me to it, but I'm sticking with Tooting Bec.

Prof Numb : The Mousetrap? Oh, come on! Everybody knows the butler did it. How many people know who was miserable? No contest. But Leicester Square was cunning, I'll give you that. JD : Welcome to the game, but, damnit, you're obviously an old hand. You're right, though, the carpets in the Waterloo...

Need you ask? You obviously knew nothing of VS's "problem" (of which we never speak), or you'd only have brought mango juice.

Fancy a trip to the theatre. Is Les Mis still running?

This is a really interesting string and a fascinating subject, and the people contributing to it are almost certainly not those I'm referring to, but I do want to make the point that I hear an awful lot of farang complaining bitterly about the poor English spoken by most Thai people. Usually the far...

I can't find 12 boring people to bring, so I'll just come along in my summer frock. I'd like to point out that DM's tiredness has nothing to do with me, as I arrived rather late and saw him slinking (stumbling) off with a rather tight-skirted, young lady (I use the term loosely). He appeared to be ...

Much as I hate to disagree, I can't even begin to imagine this. Besides, most of my reading is done in the bedroom and the bathroom... (in no particular order!)

And no, I don't have a laptop. :( :(

Good evening, Prof Numb. From my point of view, the social interaction was a handy way of filling the time while I got over the shock revelation that those red carroty things were really chillies. Nothing more. As a matter of fact, I don't enjoy social intercourse. Don't really like people much, if ...

That's what I was trying to say earlier. I'm really possessive of my books. A lot of them mean something to me and I don't want them to go forever. I do know what you mean, I had many hundreds of books in the UK, and it broke my heart to get rid of them. I still have several in my sister's attic (i...
