(I bet half of you can't remember sending in these numbers, but you did, deep in the mists of time...) The second half of the game should go a lot more smoothly than the first half did now I've got that degree thing out of the way. These are the ten rules for turn 6.

Or just guess a letter to fill in. KING OF THE HILL - BLANKETYBLANK - Not Turn Four No adjudication this time because of a lack of orders from Mr. Mark Sheiham and Mr. Simon Hornby. I've tried to get in touch by 'phone with Mark on each of the last three nights, with no success. Never mind. Simon, I have not had a dicky bird from you. No KotH orders, no Train, no nothing. Talk to me! You know my e-mail address... I've got an address for you, now you've moved AGAIN, but no accurate phone number or e-mail address in your new job. Re: the monopoly game in Train, Simon apparently has four or five on the waiting list which may or may not include James Pinnion and/or Jon Gooding. Start-up next time, I hope. Also, to the best of my knowledge, three on the waiting list for a second game of King of the Hill, just one more wanted (and if memory serves I may have talked Matt Barratt into being the fourth - Matt, get in touch to confirm, please). Go on, you know you want to. Poor old Tony has been stuck on the waiting list since the year dot waiting for his game to start. Genuine Tim Vine joke to fill the space. "I went into an airport, walked up to this lady and went PUCK-PUCK-CLUCK-SQUAWWWWWK. She said 'No, sir, you want the check-in desk'."
