You ignorant bastard ;)

I don't remember it in the news either!

Not Brunei, but you've got the right continent. The country in question was in the news recently as they are wanting to get rid of their monarchy entirely

The answer on the card is MUZJIKS for 128 although apparently the highest ever actually played in official tournie id BEZIQUE

With your love of scrabble spellings should have known you'd be on the money with that one UP :wink:
