Can't find the old WU thread, so I'll just make a new one

Bumstables - does this mean I'm down in 3rd now?

Got ZEPTOSECONDS yesterday.

You should see ggdr on Wordfit, dmac.

1609 gave me 4th, an agonising amount away from besting RICH and making it a Fruitchat top three.

**SADDOES CONVENTION CHAT ALERT**

Had the chance to possibly come in or about DMAC's 1675 on the game, but started spelling INVINCIBLE the wrong way like a massive prat on Chain Letters, then didn't notice it wanted a plural for SHEPHERDS in Word Search. Damn and damn again.

In which case I think we would deserve a celebratory shindig, sponsored by fruitchat.co.uk and possibly involving an open-topped bus.

we can borrow newcastle united. It probably needs a run out after 50odd years ...

just had a solid lunchhour.

two shots, two killls:

2077 with scoringest word WILLOWIEST so the average must have been pretty good
2208 next game including the 784 so a fairly ordinary average there.

To complete a triptych of bragging, even though this is the wrong thread for it: joined the similarly exalted (and possibly even more exclusive?) 1600+ club on Puzzler t'other day. And also staggered myself by jackpotting won In 60 seconds on an old Issue 54 last week. Whoo, U-S-A, etc.

This wasnt in Londons glittering west end was it? Came across a centrally located v54 yesterday that was relatively nice (unchipped Bully double money; that crossword thing etc) but you had visited WS and the Gone in 60 was disproportionately tough?

If you're thinking of a pub with an alliterative title then most probably. Had planned to return to take the TIOLI money but I won't bother now. Were you playing with another guy around 6pm? If so I walked past, mentally cursed and scratched around on a couple of INDEs.

Sorry OT now but yes was indeed that place (had PM from another member confirming location). I was with an Errol Brown look alike (non SWP player). The TIOLI is still there- I crapped out on endgame and colleague couldnt be bothered to wade back through the tedium to try again. HB still available as well- we only nibbled at it.

WORD UP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELT

I played the mysterious 'S' at a certain location.

Results:

Game 1: me 2082 (QUIZZICAL, 28 words) - him 1317 (ZIMMER)

Game 2: me 2125 (QUILLET, 25 words) - him 1418 (QUICHES)

Game 3: me 2077 (FUZZINESS, 27 words) - him 1371 (EXPLOIT)

Game 4: me 1494 (QUOTIENT) - him 1340 (EXPEDITOR)

S suffered a little from bottling; I retain the title 4-0.
