Mr Reams 2 - 0 Mr Carson 126-98: Wasn't expecting much from this game, and my old friend the Eye of Apterous did nothing for my confidence by giving me an 8% chance of winning. Much to my surprise, I got off to a dream start as I nailed STONEWARE to lead 18-0, but of course 18 points is nothing aga...

Christ, I thought you would have sobered up by now. I would have thought so too but there you go. Actually, I am in an inexplicably good mood so stop trying to piss on my buzz. PESTICIDE ROFL! You absolute [rude c word]! Ok I am going to my shit job now on an absolute downer - happy now?

Bevins 8/11
Davies 2/1
Carson 14/1
Levell 60/1
Howe 500/1
Mubeen 1000/1
Everyone else: 10000/1 or longer

I'll have a tenner on Howe in that case.

1 large is the safest option. 2 large generates the highest number of solvable problems. Irrelevant unless you're a computer. As already explained, the "safety" aspect is in minimising the chance that your opponent will beat you, not maximising the chance of ten points being attainable. Y...

What a scandalous implication! The challenger was a good player - KEEMA was an impressive spot even though it wasn't the max.

Dodgy tactics from the challenger, risking the agent noun when he should maintain the status quo. Though good tactics from Ollie when he spots DIATOM and sticks with consonants - a valuable 6 points.

Well, atheists are just those who oppose God in their hearts. That's why they are invariably troubled and feel the need to speak loudly about their (lack of) beliefs.
