Well, mine's crap if I use my full name. I only typed in "John Howard" to get the 9.4 rating. Perhaps I should consider using it as a pseudonym for my fevered scribblings. I'm quite prepared to place such decisions in the hands of a surrealist monkey website.

I could fully understand that....
No website seems to like my full name - it fully justifies my decision to drop the -anne bit if even the surreal monkeys don't like it!

Hmmm....I pitted my real name against my medieval/online one, and came up with a tie.

Debora Lynn VanHeyningen the Money-Eating Disco Monkey
Battle Rating : 5.6

Magdalena Vogelsang the Lemon-Eating Librarian Monkey
Battle Rating : 5.6


Of course, if I add my medieval title, I get:

Lady Magdalena Vogelsang the Purple People-Eating Killer Monkey
Battle Rating : 8.2

Big John - in considering to use 'John Howard' I would think again, if I were you. John Howard is the Australian prime minister. Need I say more?

And I'm a Toast-eating Cave monkey with a rating of 5.0. How abismally average!

she appears to have dropped off the face of the earth, not heard anything from her in weeks.

We're supposed to be playing online scrabble to, so I win by default!

any other scrabble fans out there? Perhaps we should set up a game? Let me know players and I'll see what I can organise...

ok, online scrabble. I'll set up a game at [www.thepixiepit.co.uk]

we can have up to 4 players in a game. You get emailed with your username and password

You then get an email when it's your turn to play, with the word that's been played, points scored etc.

You can login to see the board to make your move or just see what others have played.

Got to make a move within 7 days or the game dies....

Need one more for the first game of 4...

I had a great set of tiles. Not.

You can look up the words on the page you make your move on. All 4 dictionaries said that it was valid, and it was all I could move.

Still scored more than you [sticks tongue out]

einalem's turn...
