Board Games anyone???

[Sallydaisy]

There's been some discussion (think 'pies in the sky') about tripping over to Gstaad to cheer Jamie and whoever on next week.

Sadly - the charabanc might not have any takers on account of all of us having other things to do.

So...........

Erm ....... not quite Gstaad but would anyone like to participate in playing a game of Hare and Tortoise to while away a few minutes???

For those not in the know it's a sort of convoluted Snakes and Ladders with occasional detours on a Tortoise and requires a liking for chewing Carrots and Lettuces!!!

I'm given to understand that a couple of 'guest' players from am.com might be persuaded to join in if I start it up.
Here's a link to some details posted by Ase in am.com. (http://www.andymurray.com/forum/showpost.php?p=144264&postcount=2)

Linda
Lizzim
Allyb
Jayduto
Cazza
(Ase'sdaughter - although New York might prove a more interesting proposition!!)
Ase

[Linda]

Go on then, I'm game. If I miss my go then I'll have gone to Gstaad. :rolling:

[Lizzim]

Yay, more H&T!

[Sallydaisy]

Linda and Lizzim - you're in!!!

Now we just need to round up another 4 people ...........
:shades:

[Linda]

Are you going to GM it, Sally?

[Sallydaisy]

:shocked:

Yup! One of the guest players is supposed to be Ase.............
I've also volunteered to be set Ivanesevic up shortly on am.com so it's going to be right fun and games.

We'll need to have a different set of names for this Forum - any ideas?

[Linda]

Well, we really ought to name the games after famous doubles players on here.

[Sallydaisy]

Brilliant - err, like who? *scuttles off to ATP site to check out the 'A's*

[AllyB]

If you're looking for someone with a sparkling witty repartee then stick me down as 1st reserve.


I'll play if needed. Didn't (Vijay) Armitraj play doubles?

[Linda]

No trouble with 'B' but for 'A' I think we'll have to choose a singles player who also played doubles - how about Vijay Amritraj?

Edit - great minds think alike!

[ASEsdaughter]

I'll play but i'm going on my honeymoon next Wednesday for a week so if you get enough other people I can wait as I don't want to hold everybody up.

[Linda]

You don't really think that your honeymoon is more important than H&T, do you? :shocked:

No, seriously, of course your honeymoon is far more important - have a great time! :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Are you letting on where you're headed for said honeymoon???
Wherever it is have a fantastic time!!!

It's probably a good job a few am.com people aren't members on here - they'd probably suggest I'll take so long to set up the gamestart that you could join in your return.
:shamed::shamed::shamed:

Linda - I'm sure the Amritraj brothers played doubles together so that would be a great first name to use!
:thumbup:

[ASEsdaughter]

We are going to New York.

[Sallydaisy]

Wow - plenty to do and see there. No wonder H&T is coming 2nd!
:rolling:

[jayduto]

sign me up for what is ever available ?

[cazza99]

I'll be a reserve if you get short. But I may need nudging on the AM site as I keep on forgetting to come on here.

[Sallydaisy]

Cheers guys - sorry to have gone walkabout - been doing some work for a change!
:)

I'll probably get this started over the weekend - might be that Ase'sdaughter sits this one out because of her fab trip to the USA.

Nudging equipment is being prepared tomorrow...........
:wink:

[ASEsdaughter]

That's fine.

[Sallydaisy]

Cheers Clare.

I've asked Ase if he is still interested in playing over here.
In which case the 6 would be:-
Linda, Lizzim, Jayduto, AllyB, Cazza99 + 1 more possibly Ase.

Unless someone else would like to have a go?

Not me, Sallydaisy - I quite liked it that we didn't have board games over here - :shamed:

Your name sounds quite like a really annoying member we have over on Andy's forum. I'm sure you are nothing like him though.
