Tswum gathered two votes, but as we yàll know that tsuwm and hogmaster is one and the same player I would propose, especially since points don't matter that hogstuwmaster gathers -1 vote. No, yett wasn't too easy. If it would have been easy I would have guessed it in stead of taking refuge to kiwi, lobster and caviar. The best guessers among us were after you, is all. The real cream de la cream. --------------------------________________ As is the host, thus he suspects his guests, the saying goes. No irregularities on my side of the tub. And if you don't know your olly from your Owlbow, well, what do you know? Thanks for the round and providing the new knowledge that yett means gate. Very nice!
