Well, well, put me in a red dress and pat my hiney. I was drinking and my eyes were blurred, I thought Figgum read bondsmaid, which was the real word left out of the Oxford English Dictionary. Ha Ha Ha ,what an addlepate am I.

suddenly every man and his dog feels the need to extract the michael by protesting various ludicrous misreadingsYes Max, but don'tcha think, all in good humour?  Oh yeah, I figgumed myself once, but you know, somehow it just wasn't the same.

A task at which I will cheerfully join and and backstop you, Max. It is a task at which I would humbly suggest that I have great natural talent.

>A look at the scores will show how assiduously I have worked to spare others the ignominy of coming last.
not to worry, Max. it seems that cumulative scoring somehow fell into desuetude three or four rounds back, and I haven't found the time to score even this round, which is just shameful in as much as it probably set a new standard for precipitation. suffice it to say, for the nonce, that a BIG win was wracked up by milum, with a clever definition and an equally clever bluff. thanks all.
oh, btw. I *meant to post the word fylfot.
