Well, it's a bit annoying really. You have a Black Joker played so it must be a black card. You are a couple of cards away from gaining a straight. But you have all the black 8s in your team, so a black 9 would place you one card away. Depends how you feel about taking a chance that one of your 8s might die. Alternatively, a 10 Clubs, 6 Clubs or 7 Spades would all give you a pair for 10 points. You have more chance with the 6 of making four of a kind if December is lucky for you, less so with a 7 or a 10. It all depends on further hits I am afraid. Any way you roll, you are needing further cards. So, take the 10 points now, or take a chance? Your call. Let me know.

Swirling kilts and whirling bagpipes, it's St Andrews Day! Before our players settle down to enjoy haggis, neeps and tatties, I suppose it's time to spin the Roulette wheel and see where the cards fall! Updated leaderboard will follow shortly. Timestamp: 2024-11-30 12:17:20 UTC

Roulette will be played later when I surface from my slumbers. Happy St Andrews Day all!

Less than 20 odd hours left to cash in your Jokers @Perhaps and @JoeMoneypenny. Use it or lose it.

Hmm. Keeping the Yahoo! obits then? Asking for a colleague.

Yes, this guy could go in the Businesspersons thread (my preference) or the political frailty thread (for those who insist upon it). But not here! As you correctly understand.

There will always be the Michael Ancrams, the Michael Howards, etc etc. But they were from aristocratic families already. But I'm not sure who you have in mind, so if you could give me a couple of names, that would be lovely. (They still wouldn't be aristos though!).

Barbara's Unexpected Blessings! Yes, novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford has had A Sudden Change Of Heart - for the worse. Rather less known for her kiddies' Christian books or her interior design tomes, she hit it big with her writings about women made good. The Killing Time was the only player to Hold The Dream as Bradford becomes a Woman Of Substance to gain them points. A late race to the top? We shall see. No Bonuses. I see gcreptile awaits a QO for Bruce Thompson. Keep those eyes peeled for an unlikely obit. Leaderboard updated.
