RLV getting 2406 solo and then 2094 being described as 'standard' with decent letters...maybe I'll start concentrating on Spot the Difference instead ...

TRANQUILLIZER.

Set up IMPRACTICALITIES with DG yesterday - WU Grandmasters failed to accept it, confirming the dictionary's limitations. Had to settle for PRACTICALITIES.

Played Word Soup at last. Change of name to secure copyright?

WS seems to have a word list as big as that of the Grandmasters dictionary. Dunno whether it takes >15 words. Got a 2028 on it.

who is DG? a new Bob?

you know my thoughts about SOWPODS. it still makes my blood boil. hard luck on the 16 but a wordlist invented for scrabble doesn't have any need for long words, much better to concentrate on purloining obscure 2s. everyone knows that QI, XU, ST, ZA, EE are more valid words than IMPRACTICALITIES.
stupid bastards.

still yet to see word soup (was 'alphabet soup' uncopyrightable?

pity it uses the irresponsible SOWPODS nonsense.

i will write a letter to my MP.

No, that's just a bonus.

Maybe you should write to your MP, and he'll sort that out for you as well.

I've been quieter than a gagged mouse in terms of WU recently, but ANGIE LIAM had a quick shot in Bar Radio the other day and picked up TRANQUILLITY as well as assorted 1800s.
Like many others, I've also yet to come across Word Soup, and yet to understand the difference between it and WU apart from the name. Is there any?
PS Nice video of QUIZZICALITIES, Bob - it is like the London logo in that it not only will reach out to the youth of today, but also trigger siezures in the epileptic among them.

I pricked up a decent looking board trying to get QUAYSIDES tonight. Don't know why I bothered.

Saw a machine last week with a hi-score board featuring a 1950 by someone who signed themselves off as UKCHAMPION. Any ideas who this might be? Their claim would have seemed more impressive were it not for the fact that CRAIG had put a 2246 up there...

Most likely Her Vajesty

It was the Wetherspoons adjacent to Bank station.

KJØLIG GUD got 2008 at the sun incovent garden
and TYPESETTING at the paragon in chiswick
both were on virgin titboxes so i've had the free money.
