The bumping doesn't help. As long as you don't associate the game with 'butter' or 'margarine' you'll be ok, then you'd lose every time you saw either of them, so I wouldn't do that. That was very mean!

Here's my first post on this forum, registered just to say thanks for the coverage. I was at the Vic last night, to see an acquaintance who had won a ticket from last Saturday's satellite. It was mayhem, struggle even to get to the bar,so this is a great service now I can have a scotch in peace.

Have you sent this list of favourite answers to an independent 3rd party to ensure no funny business? Like the pratchett question. I got told off once for having pratchett in an RSQ It seems Pratchett HAS been mentioned before

Tugula Ferry in South Africa a few years ago is the most dangerous place I have ever been I think. You need to drive through the township and then go over the river using a bridge that is only wide enough for one vehicle at a time. There were constant reports of hijacking of vehicles and not a few fatalities.
About seven years ago I was with my then girlfriend visiting friends and family of hers around KZ Natal. The plan was to drive from Greytown to Dundee, near Rorke's Drift on Christmas day. A long time was spent working out routes which would avoid Tugula Ferry but in the end it was decided to go through the area but very early as it was suggested the locals would still be drunkingly sleeping from the night before. Unfortunately we were delayed and arrived mid morning and the market area was busy. We had to stop to let pedestrians go across the rough street and a pickup tried to drive diagonally across the street, thus blocking our path, a second one was preparing to drive across the other way, we were both aware of what was happening. I reached down from the passanger seat whilst keeping eye contact with the other driver, as if to reach for a weapon and girlfriend put her foot down and scooted around the rear of the first pickup. About half a mile down the road was the bridge and we didn't slow down at all hoping there would be no vehicle coming the other way, there wasn't.
Later we described the incident to girlfriend's brother in in law who bollocked me for pretending to have a weapon as there is a lot of pride involved in taking a weapon off an outsider and killing them with it, I am glad I didn't know that at the time.
