So, who's up for what on Sunday?

OK, if paulatpingu and mapp are going to be there, I suspect I can drag myself along and play a game of some sort; it's at Steve's, right?

In other, blog related news, yesterday saw our highest individual number of page views and unique visitors since I started counting about a month ago. Why? Well, lots of people linked to a post I made.

Don't you think Blair looks tired?

This Dr Who based meme brought to you by a fatigued blogger suffering from writers block again...

Technorati tagsearch: Blair, NuLab, Labour, Dr Who

That's it. In it's entirety. Double the normal readership because I make a Dr Who joke. Should that impress or depress me?

Should that impress or depress me?

Yes.

[matgb]

Why thank you for that wonderful response to an either/or. So helpful.

Should that depress you?
Maybe.. but that episode was a good one :)

And you never know.. it may just work..

SCRABBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*ahem*

[matgb]

I have no problem with Scrabble. Do you, um, really want to play Scrabble with me?

/arrogance...

[freddiefraggles.livejournal.com]

Not really. I very rarely win when Mark and I play.

It's fun though, and good for my vocabulary :-D

If Gamesoc wasn't too 'elevated' for simple board games like Scrabble, I'd go there.

[matgb]

WTF makes you think it is? I used to regularly take along Monopoly. Besides, the German games are essentially "simple" board games anyway.

[js84.livejournal.com]

Ah right. I guess the games that I saw at Gamesoc and that I associate my housemates with seemed a bit complicated to get my head around. (I regard Monopoly as difficult too)

Rule of thumb; Laurence should never be taken as a 'normal' example of any social group. If you put him in a room with crackpot lunatics, they'll want to dissasociate him.

I, personally, strongly like complex strategy games, but I rule at Scrabble, and picking up something like Carcassonne or Metro is easy.

Oh; Monopoly is only complicated if you try and read the rules first; me, I find the game too simple just because I ran a probability analysis of the game as part of GCSE coursework, it's a bit dull when you can tell who's going to win 1/4 way in...

So, will you be along tomorrow with the Scrabble board? Otherwise we'll have to play something else...
