Blackbeard: The Pirate of Roanoke - B Barker

agnes, according to my well-thumbed list of rules for The Game 1926 edition Page 57, sub-section vi "The person sitting to the left of the previous poster who uses four or more proper nouns in a single post during any Friday is entitled to triple points unless they have added a set of numerals to the said post.
In this event the poster forfeits all his/her points which will be awarded to the next contestant.

Better luck next time.

Frenchman's Creek Daphne DuMaurier

Vee-I'm so glad you still have your copy-mine was borrowed by a houseguest (see the guestroom thread) and never returned!

In French Creek Valley - William Reynolds

The French Diet- Michel Montignac

Vee.... I looked in the later edition of 1943 and I can find no reference to the addition of a set of numerals. I think we should take up a collection at the next party and buy you a new set of rules for The Game.

In the meantime, I'll just quietly sit here and sulk.

French Women Don't Get Fat - Mireille Guiliane

agnes the 1943 edition never reached the UK becsuse of the WWII paper shortage. If anyone does have the latest set of rules perhaps they could post them as a link. I hate to think of someone having a fit of the sulks.
Don't forget "It's the playing that counts; not the winning." as my old Granny used to say.

French Lieutenant's Woman - John Fowles

My Granny wasn't nice. She's the one that taught me to sulk. Just see if I come to the next party....So There!^&*%^

The Chook Book - Jackie French

Now if only I had a set of rules, I'm sure this would be worth quadruple points :-)

(Do I have to tell that 'chook' is an Aussie word for chicken?)

PS I haven't had a chance to get here for a while (working full time 4 days a week now, and I used to sneak on before going to work) but I love some of the links above. Vee, I just wanted to add that Aussies play cricket too!

Les Poules du Couvent Couvent - Thierry Leguay

Kath, you really are in luck "The poster using Antipodean slang on the 1st Sunday after the full moon shall gain a multitude* of points"
* for the exact meaning of multitude please refer to the index on page 479.
Well darn it, I'm missing pages 471-452. Agnes may have the answer

Must you humiliate us with the cricket word? We know you Aussies are going to give us Hell come the 'Ashes'.
How many more extra points do you want?!
And tell me for how long has 4 days work has been considered 'full-time' in Australia? I thought it was only 3. ;-)

Here is a link that might be useful: The Ashes

Chicken Soup For The Cat and Dog Lover's Soul - Jack L. Carfeds, etal.

Sorry, my book of by-laws must not be numbered the same. MY page 479 states very plainly that anyone using weird languages without furnishing a translation will be penalized all points earned the previous week.

Marley and Me-Life and Love With the World's Worst Dog John Grogan

hmmmmm....My missing copy of the rules was the 1943 edition...and it went missing after the Valentine's Day party on my island....

One Man and his Dog - Phil Drabble

Wine Dogs - Craig McGill

agnes, I thought by providing a translation I could avoid that by-law :-)

Vee, I'm not so sure about the outcome of the Ashes - you gave us a pretty good beating last time. And sorry about misleading you about my working hours - I should have said 'full days' not 'full time' LOL
