It will probably get too confusing if we have two games going on the same thread. We have one game going on this thread, and one game going on another thread, but you could start a game on a third thread. Or you could correctly guess the answer to one of the existing games, and then you'd be "it".

Focal.ie has...

Thanks, but I'll pass it on to the next guy. My unit will be out on maneuvers for most of the next three-week period, so I won't be able to monitor this thread as closely as I'd like to!

November 07 2009, 17:32 PM

Perhaps Murk would like to have a go then...didn't he say he had one already?

If not, I can start one later.
