reminiscent of Brooke-Taylor's devastating attack in his match against
IBM's Deep Tube computer back in '99.

Now we have the Olympics, will there be a petition to get Mornington

Glad to have been of some service to you.

Now, can anybody explain 'Nip'?

No explanation is needed. Your problem is that you are looking in the

People that can successfully play it have earned my admiration though!

I thought it was last seen under Nyk's sofa?

Although I do now have a sofa (see archives), I still can't see any
rulebooks under it. Just some fluff.

Will that do?

Can you re-arrange the fluff to make some new rules?

Hang on, I'll have a look.

No, sorry, . It's all carpet-coloured. It might work if I used a
contrasting surface...

Try putting your rules through a Dyson. It really mixes up the
