Re: Favourite Scrabble words
We started the game just before the end of lunch so we wrote down the plays and racks just before the end. When I got them out at the start of the next club I may have had a slight peek... Didn't use it to my advantage though. Honest.Charlie Reams wrote:Nice of your opponent to show you his rack, too.

Re: Music
I play acoustic guitar and a bit of keyboard, and my sister plays violin but might be hard to get her to cooperate.
Re: Music
The obvious idea for coordination would be to email the sound files to someone with a music editor, who would play them together and cut them down and accelerate/slow down them so they fit together. Any better ideas?
