It was purely a fluke. I hardly ever see those clever 7-letter words. I hope the mimosa I sent you helps your recovery.

Sorry for leading you all astray. Facebook seems to be highly addictive! Not sure what it says about us all really! I have had another good night down the pub while everyone is away so shall just shut up and get back to playing the banjo and annoying the neighbours!!

Never mind 'Why don't we get prizes like that?' - do we get ANY prizes? If so, I must be missing out.

We must be masochists doing this 'for fun'. Still, I tell myself it stretches the mind (like the elastic on a saggy old pair of underpants).

I definitely appreciate it's mind-toning qualities. Crosswords and sudoku also help. Otherwise my brain would compost due to lack of exercise. I used to be a 150-point Scrabble weakling, and now look at me - Lobes of Steel!

It has to be said, for all that we (OK, I) blame Banjo Jon for leading us astray with introducing us to Facebook, he's the only fella off here who's joined and exposed himself to us (in the nicest possible way, of course ). Are the rest of you hiding under rocks, hoping we won't notice? We need new blood for our Scrabulous challenges.

Well I have to say I can't blame Jon as I was on there before he mentioned it on here.

But you are right MB- we need more movetonz folks on Facebook for our Scrabulous marathons.
