The Word

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Right then gang - I think this deserves a thread of it's own and continues on from the "Dunn Deal" thread which I hijacked earlier, without so much as a by-your-leave. So lets play games to save us biting our nails while we wait for the denoument in Southampton in 3 months time.

The first running game is to get a selected word into your post on one of the many threads, other than this one, on the BBS. I've chosen the first word which is "vouchsafed", meaning as Jacko suggests, to have secured the Supermarket reward tokens in a locked strongbox (although Jacko may have been playing "Call My Bluff" which is a horse of a different kettle of ballgames.) Anybody with any other words they'd like used just contribute them. If you've any different games, puzzles etc then chip in otherwise I'll get lonely on this thread all by myself.

Now - as usual on these occasions - I shall be awarding points and points mean prizes.

WHAT DO POINTS MEAN?

I can vouchsafe for Nick having taken an early lead. So try :- a) anthropomorhism b) chimera

Anybody managing both in the same sentence will have points deducted. No-one likes a smart-arse.

Or even anthropomorphism (correcting the typo above)

LOL Cliff!

Apropos of nothing - have you ever seen Hancock as a member of the Jury in a parody of 12 Angry Men? He makes an impassioned speech to the other 11 and talks about our democratic rights and freedoms.

I've got another one - an alphabetical thread. Every word on the thread's got to start with consecutive letters of the alphabet. I'll go and start that now, shall I?


PS. I am a bit pissed.
