Could everyone who replies to this join in a game of The Minister's Cat in the subject line? I'll start off with A, the first reply to be B and so on.

Although it'd be embarrassing if I become out – presumably I won't be able to post back in this conversation…

First person to review this to use a word beginning with 'B'.

"Blooming" good job

Well done a nice rescue

"Couldn't" have put it better myself

Love it BB, and I'll be trying it out on the grandkids at Christmas

"Decidedly" entertaining entry. I hadn't heard of this game before, so it's nice to get an introduction to it.

Excellent entry! We used to play a different version with clapping in the church basement years ago. It involved hand signals that described animals. You had to do the last one, then one of your own. The elephant was fun...

First class rescue
