Hmm, maybe they were just practising booing the England team in preparation. Sour.

Vajjy B just texted me some jibberish:

"I saw a middle aged bloke with white hair proing it up in reading today possibly on caveman capers - ask fruitchat if they know who it is as i cant up here. He was on the same circuit of pubs as i was. Also saw a possible spot the difference user of the cross eyes method, named 'stew'."

Standard.

[cool]

as has been mentionned before reading is a haunt of efc (nils satis). Also a few years ago I came across an old bloke with grey hair and a pronouced limp who always seemed to be going around the pubs at lunchtime. Haven't seen him for ages , possibly deceased.

[Nil Satis]

I do work in Reading but am neither (a) white-haired and middle-aged (well, I'm saying 38 isn't middle-aged!) or (b) an old bloke with grey hair and a pronounced limp so I don't think I am either of the two characters mentioned here. I also find Reading offers very thin pickings (as does pretty much everywhere these days) so it's quite rare that I devote any major time to the machines. However my proud 2000+ top score on Football Crazy in O'Neills is hopefully still there to show I do exist!

[Istenem]

the least satisfying way to score 441 points: play pimp my soup and line up PIZZAZZES. yuck.

still, by goal difference, it consolidates my place at the top of the leaderboard for the most of the same letter in a scoring word. INVISIBILITIES [sic] will never be beaten.

anyway i'll be off for a mini smash and grab after lunch so i'll wait until submitting to Ernest.

I hope someone gets Indivisibilities and indistinguishabilities and wipes that grin off your face

according to the website i stole those from ( ) there are also 17 G's in the Massachusetts lake name:
CHARGOGGAGOGGMANCHAUGGAUGGAGOGGCHAUBUNAGUNGAMAUGG

but then half of you probably knew that already!

[theoak]

and here it is!:

[Istenem]

pic didn't work

on a point of pedantry, INDIVISIBILITIES would not be allowed as, according to the wordlist there is no such thing as an English word over 15 letters in length.

but, by my reckoning, the word SENSELESSNESSES would beat me by one. it looks to be a fairly gettable word too and no less authentic than the incumbent holder. (i have to take the scraps, Signor La Vigna is a class apart on the hi-scoring.)

[Istenem]

the only highlight was a 1905 in the slug and lettuce and the very functional COCCYXES* at the cartoonist. no great shakes but i am back at my desk £3 up after food and cokes.

* yes i know COCCYGES is the more elegant plural but there was no G near enough.

[Cardinal Sin]

but i am back at my desk £3 up after food and cokes.

COKES? I thought you were a journo?

Unless you mean lines of coke.

[Istenem]

well, yes, i suppose i should permanently have a drink in one hand and a ciggie in the other. i don't drink during the day and mister brown says i can't smoke in the boozer. so i just have to write my gossip column instead

[Istenem]

i can confirm that soup allows words of longer than the scrabble restriction of 15. i got a ghastly mass noun (an iffy mass noun at that) plural for 16.
so it is good news that an irresponsible restriction has been lifted. but i still don't believe that any proper word can end in ~NESSES

[dm]

more than one business?

[Istenem]

well, yes. but nobody likes a smart aleck.
OBSOLETENESSESES is not a word, i think we would all agree on that.
