YoungWillz 21,006 Posted November 8 June Spencer of Ye Olde BBC radio drama The Archers has been summoned out of life. The Road To Ambridge was littered with hits hither and thither. Dum te dum to dum te dum, as you will hum before retiring to bed. Those benefiting were Bibliogryphon, ladyfiona, TQR and Buffalo Phil. A bonus for hitting a pair of sixes (cricket being a favourite pasttime on the radio show) to Buffalo Phil for 10 additional points. Those leaving June languishing on the subs bench were Perhaps (drawing 10 Diamonds for 10 added points) and wannamaker (drawing Q Spades for 12 added points). Leaderboard updated and will be brought forward on the next hit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,006 Posted Friday at 09:43 Tokyo Rose deflowered! Well, I can't work it all out. All these clans and marriages, they baffle me! All I know is Yuriko, Princess Mikasa of Japan has died aged 101, picking up a Mail obit. Marrying one's second cousin might be a grand idea, but it's not for me, personally. Joe Moneypenny was the only player to pick the Big In Japan dame, and scores with a hit and also picks up a Black Joker bonus (more on that soon) and soars up the table, making many other players appear like serfs.

YoungWillz 21,006 Posted Friday at 09:54 All right, we have made it to the middle of the penultimate month of the game. It behoves me as your manager to point out that those who have played a Joker (and those who will play a Joker in the remaining days of November) must convert their Joker by 30 November. Ensure you do this or I will be sorry, St Andrew will be sorry, and you will be sorry as potential bonuses may be lost. As I see it, those who have a Joker played so far are @MariNisia; @Perhaps and @JoeMoneypenny. Help will always be given at the Casino, so if you need any help in Joker conversion, I am here to assist. PM me with your queries and/or your decided card, or lose your conversion rights forever! You can hang on until the end of the month to see if any more picks drop, but leave it too late and the advantage may be lost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are on your way though, full of promise, but the time is ticking down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, yes the old Japanese lady was also a hit for Captain Chorizo and Perhaps. Captain Chorizo gets a bonus of 10 additional points for a pair of Kings. Leaderboard updated.
