I can only ever think of simple 4 letter words. What does that say about me

Four letter words count too ... well, most of them.

Scrabulous is very addictive. Have a few games going on myself, but do believe Ebianca has somewhere around 15. Definitely a goddess.

She plays a mean game, so watch out!

I think you need to be able to dedicate a lot of time to playing Scrabulous properly - to get decent points, that is. Its good for stretching the mind a little.

I did have 30-40 games running at one point.
I took to challengeing complete strangers to get my daily fix, it's great to play whilst having my cup of coffee when Jasmin is having her daily nap.

Both you guys (glenda and MB) are good competition- been some close games- oh and with Lisa too but Maggie is the one to watch- she's beat me too many times for my liking.

OK, I broke down and joined Facebook, and even found the MovetoNZ network (and requested admittance). If accepted (pleeze, pleeze, pleeze?), will I automatically be added to everyone's friends list? I don't want to pester everyone if it's not needed.

Maybe I'll start playing there while I try to stay awake for Dawn's radio show. Scrabulous sounds like fun!

Welcome to Facebook and the 'evil' time-wasting elements that lie within. as I can't be bothered to work out how to spell 'Muahahaha'.

Adding friends or being added isn't automatic, which I guess is sensible as you might end up with a heap of people you'd rather not be associated with. If folks know your name they can search for and add you and, likewise, you can search for and add them.

Unfortunately the radio show has been shelved for the time being because of problems with the differing time zones, now both the NZ and UK clocks have done their daylight savings thing. Our hosts just couldn't come up with a good solution as the timings were too far out for comfort.

Foo, and here I am awake as the witching hour approaches. Guess I'll have to do something else.

I think you did a fine job at spelling "muahaha", MB. Thanks for befriending me on Facebook. Now I'll need to dress up my page, considering company might come calling.

Selchie- I have accepted your request to join the movetonz group so you should be able to post things on there etc now.

No, it won't and we have Jon to thank for all this madness. He should have stuck to and immigration instead of leading us astray.

Word of warning for those on here who partake in Scrabulous - watch out for Selchie. She's lethal - wiped me out with her very first word. I need to lie down with a cold flannel on my forehead.
