Q1, you mean the most popular London edition only I presume? Title: Re: RSQ 72: Life in the farce lane Post by: millidonk on August 18, 2011, 08:36:37 AM I can see another lot of riots happening after this one.
As Boshi says: 1 - You get Liverpool, Manchester etc, free parking, go, chance and community chest are not street/road names and neither utilities or stations, guessing these are not allowed? 9 - best to say the British version of Scrabble as i have played Farsi and Russian version but somehow i don't think putting Alef down would get me a point.

You correctly point out that non of these are street/road names, and therefore they will not be allowed. Non-pedantic answers appreciated and I shall TRY to QM the same way ie: should a "Lane" be mentioned I will allow it. 9. OP altered to insist on UK Scrabble. Feel free to resubmit non Russian answers. You have one pass and do not have to use it. Gain all the unnecessary points you like imo.

OMFG!!!! ;smackedbottom; MAKE IT STOP!!! ;frustrated; Next door's kid just got a recorder, by the sounds of things. He can play a shrill squeal and a non-shrill squeal. He insists on doing this in the back garden. It woke me up and 1pm after five hours sleep. If it weren't for the wasp nest residing outside my window I would have opened my opinion to everyone within a mile. Ten seconds of this Toto song has given me perspective. How I was longing for the days of the horrifying woodwind rendition of "I'm the standalone reason for your soaring blood pressure," by little Ben. Or Tom. Or something of that nature. In, btw.

Typing European Cup redirects to Champions League.
Second paragraph: Prior to 1992, the tournament was officially called the European Champion Clubs' Cup but was usually referred to as simply the European Cup. It's clearly referring to it as being the same competition. The Champions League wasn't a new competition in its own right. It's just a renaming of the European Cup.

Champions League and European Cup are the same competition. Completely different comp with different format. I'll use your own arguement. Saying Forest have won the Champions League is not like saying Blackburn have won the Prem (which they have), it's like saying Liverpool have won the Prem because they won the old division one. *Bash* Overruled Title: Re: RSQ 72: Life in the slow lane Post by: Cf on August 23, 2011, 09:04:19 PM Objection on what grounds? They have never won the Champions League. They won the European Cup. Champions League and European Cup are the same competition. Remind me again who they beat in the league stages? Who cares? They muck around with the format all the time. Still the same competition. Just realised i'm not exactly right about the Premiership I don't think. Certainly not officially named that now. But I think Premier League has always been valid. Meh whatever, my point still stands :) Title: Re: RSQ 72: Life in the slow lane Post by: Sheriff Fatman on August 23, 2011, 09:05:08 PM Besides you're doing them a injustice.
