i like scrabble, especially considering i'm a non native speaker and my boyfriend doesn't let me play portuguese words I am always quite chuffed to get over 200 points normally...

Ah - but I was quite chuffed that you gave me the 'I'. I was fairly stuck otherwise.
Hmmm... might go and see if I can find an on-line dictionary - find out what 'mise' means. I like increasing my vocab - its helpful for my writing.
{edit} 30 secs later (I love the internet...)
Mise
(Mise) n. [F. mise a putting, setting, expense, fr. mis, mise, p. p. of mettre to put, lay, fr. LL. mittere to send.]
1. (Law) The issue in a writ of right.
2. Expense; cost; disbursement. [Obs.]
3. A tax or tallage; in Wales, an honorary gift of the people to a new king or prince of Wales; also, a tribute paid, in the country palatine of Chester, England, at the change of the owner of the earldom. [Obs.]

I drink to drown my sorrows. Unfortunately they've learnt how to swim.

No e-mail about it here, yet: Presumably it's been sent to the hotmail eddress given in my profile, rather than to the lancing.org eddress? If so then I won't be able to do anything about it until tomorrow afternoon.

From the email sent to me, it has gone to your hotmail account. Ah well - gives me longer to find a word hidden within my wretched tiles!

No, that's OK, it's nearly the Summer holidays (when I don't come in to use this machine rather than that one) anyway.

Hee. With my real name I'm a Jelly-Eating Mini Monkey, which is quite cute. Only a 1.1 battle rating, but I'll just avoid battles by sharing my jelly...
dante is a Lemon-Eating Colobus Monkey, which is...boring.
