Can I take my fingers out of my ears yet?

I think so - they look better on your hands

I have a review (scary pin up your work and talk about it architectural student exam thing) the week after the London meet, so the chances of me making it there are slim to say the least If I do make it it'll be an absolutely last-minute decision, so I shan't sign up yet, but going on past reviews I'll probably be working solidly right up to the deadline. I'm determined this time *not* to stay up all night working the night before too.

Loups Gareaux?

Chocolate gateaux?

*wonders if Tink realises his last post was a reply to the last one on the previous page*

chateau.

*thinks* has anyone ever thought of making a chocolate monopoly?

That would never work, everyone would eat the hotels.

Makes sense - the winners would genuinely be fat cats then (assuming they were playing a feline version of the game, of course).

*ponders* wonder if we could invent a bovine version of Monopoly, playing to win fields

I've seen Bibleopoly for sale. The rules seem to have been changed a bit, so the goal is no longer to fleece all the other players of their money, leaving them all destitute. Can't think why.

Might write into the BBC and suggest a new game for I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue - Inappropriate Board Game Combinations. Or perhaps just Innapropriate Game Combinations.

I have a feeling that would end up quite similar to Boardo. Then again, it might work, who knows.

Boardo?

Umm sorry to break your million making plan but they do have chocolate monopoly as I tried to eat it
*having serious issues about the Subaru/Burns/Peugeot thingy*

Monopoly with vegetables perhaps? Maybe broccolli? The stems are easy to carve into shapes It could be called Brocollonopoly

Aw, poor Tink's had her loyalties divided, will it be the man or the car?

I suppose they've only played Boardo a few times, but it's quite popular with the audience. Everyone knows the rules, so shuffle the pack, draw 7 dominoes and throw a 6 to start.

Peugeots are quite funky cars - OK not as out-and-out oddball as Subarus but I think still appealing. I like both, with the possible exceptions of the latest Impreza (I loved the old one though) and pictures I've seen of Peugeot's 406 replacement. I don't trust the latter to be accurate anyway. Back to the point, though - the Peugeot 206 (presumably the car Burns will be driving) is British-built, unlike (?) the Subaru, and Burns is British-built, so you'd be truly patriotic supporting that combination. I think the only way you'd be able to be more patriotic was if Burns was signed up to drive an MG ZS. And in the dim and distant future, when Burns retires, you can switch your allegeances back to Subaru, so for the time being you can rest your conscience with the knowledge that they haven't permanently lost your support

*throws stuff at Cakewalker for being too reasonable*

*hangs up a big banner saying "PURJO SUKS"*

Ow *unburies himself from beneath largely behind-the-bar kind of stuff (think old packets of peanuts)* OK then, we'll just have to stick to Peugaroo *starts drawing a Richard Burns sat in a blue supermini with big wheels, a muddy sheep sat in the boot and a great thick tail protruding from the exhaust area. Dons Aussie accent* Can ya see what it is yet?
