		    *** FAB NEW ALL-READER GAME: HANG-GIT!!! ***

The question I seem to get asked most (when I'm not doing maths) these days is:
     <<< Apart from GIT Including Train, just what DOES G.I.T. stand for? >>>
Well, I don't mind telling you, but you're going to have to do a bit of work to
find out. In the finest "Wheel of Fortune" traditions (isn't Bradley Walsh an utter
arse, by the way?) we shall be revealing the acronym expansion a letter at a time.
To make things a bit more exciting, I shall put a not-very-exciting MYSTERY PRIZE
up for the first player to guess just what it stands for. You can either guess one
letter (majority vote rules; ties split at random) or make one guess at the overall
title every turn. Hint: G.I.T. doesn't wackily stand for BOWLS OF SEAFISH or daft
stuff like that; there are Gs, Is and Ts involved. In fact, two of each. And at
least one of each is where you'd expect to find them.
