I'm bringing our demented banana bread! (mom went on a baking spree...)

Revolt! Revolt! No matter why or when,
It's novelty--old novelty again.

actually he says peep, cheep, chirrup, squalk,muttermuttergrumblegrumble, oh and now he falls off his pirch whish is followed by a sheepish peek round to see if anyone was looking and a quick scramble back up

I have only got standard Monopoly but I did see an Essex version on sale in a shop in Colchester. Don't suppose that one is much in demand.
As it is now June, does anybody fancy some strawberries and cream? There are obviously no wasps or ants invited to the party!

I think we'll all stagger off to our beds tonight (that's those as make it, others may not due to the volume of vodka being swigged)

I've keeled over into a heap, my excuse is I've done too much, and I'm sticking to it.

Hey Dell, if you make friends with some American's perhaps some of them will send you various US versions...we have a TON...all the colleges have their own, as do most of the cities....

oh and welcome by the way!

that's how she got the American one she has :-)

Sounds like a good party. You weren't forgotten, Andrea, I've brought you a @#$%& souvenir from Haworth Parsonage. ( I bet you're just dying to find out what it is.) I'll come visit sometime next week and tell you all about the trip.

I could bring some sweets to the party, that I bought in Haworth. They're called 'Poor Ben's', so as PSD was there, I had to really.

You'll have to get the Australian edition of Monopoly. Personally I can't cope with that one coz I grew up using the Britsh version. Hey, there's one thing you Poms do better than us Aussies in. Monopoly! shame about the cricket. And swimming. And soccer....

I can hear about a billion phone calls to hit men to track down this rude Colonial on the fforum.

Yes, I've seen (University of) Michiganopoly, and I'm sure there's a Detroit version. We have the Boston version at work (it was a parting gift when my boss moved here from Harvard).

I've got the Star Wars version...

IIRC there's a Coronation St. edition, so there's no doubt Eastender's, Emmerdale, Brookside, etc.. ones too.

mmm .. I can just imagine what the most common chance card in the EE version is; 'Get barred from Queen Vic'. And the least common one in any of those would be 'Go to Queen Vic/Rovers/Woolpack and see someone you don't know'. Or 'Fail to go to pub. Miss two goes and the chance of your own spinoff series'.

Another EE one; 'Go to Manchester. Miss rest of game'.

Also for EE
"You get some bad news and need to be alone with your thoughts. Go straight to the park bench in the middle of the Square"

And for a 'Crossroads' (or 'El Dorado', or 'Albion Market'?) one _ "Series cancelled: Game over, Everybody (except for the viewers) loses."

"This was willed where what is willed... can get rather silly."

I once provided some dialogue for Albion Market. All right, it was only an announcement at Chorlton Street Coach Station, but it got used. (If not seen).

Another soap chance card; 'You speak to another character. You know something they do not know. Look away shiftily'.

'You are the natural father of another player. Give them 200 pounds'.

I think there aren't many soap monopolys. Not entirely sure, the monopoly site doesn't show ones that do actually exist (like the pokémon edition)

You can actually make your own monopoly for £90. I'm considering getting one with my bf. Not entirely sure how it works, but I want one :)

Back to EE again

"You win £10 in a karaoke competition. Blow it all on a service wash at the laundrette, even though you have a perfectly servicable washing-machine at home"

Jon, is your Monopoly for men only?
