Just a Minute (An InterGuild Extravaganza hosted by the Conjurors et al)

Earlier today, an appreciative and knowledgeable audience were treated
to a fast and furiously contested game of Just a Minute. The Host
(Torak) welcomed representatives from 5 Guilds (Small Gods, Wandering
Teachers, Witches, Seamstresses and Conjurors).

The topics ranged from "The Relevance of Bees", through "More Tea,
Vicar" to "Smiting" and of course "How to find a Man in a Hat". A
substitution of Witch for Seamstress was allowed after it was revealed
Periwinkle was required elsewhere (muttering something about "stuffing
sausages") and the Small Gods reincarnated a total of 3 times!

After a wonderfully fought battle the Conjurors emerged victorious,
although best counter challange must go to Marlies (one of the Witch
Deputies) who when challenged in her part of "More Tea, Vicar" that
they may prefer coffee and become annoyed to be offered tea, remarked
"A Vicar would never be so impolite to refuse such a gesture!"

Final scores:

Conjurors - 26 (260) points
Wandering Teachers - 24 (240) points
Small Gods - 13 (130) points
Witches - 05 (100) points
Seamstresses - 02 ( 40) points

It was felt that as both the Seamstresses and Witches didn't have the
same amount of time, their scores were doubled. All points go to the
respective Guilds.

A further game of Just A Minute (post watershed!) will occur in the
bar tonight.

And of course the fascinating discussion of hymenoptera!

Hmm... we shall have to get a writeup of the Just A Minute By Night done, as soon as I can remember any of it. I wish I'd brought my camcorder down. :-(

Actually, strictly speaking the Small Gods reincarnated just twice - the first time they just incarnated.

I remark, of course, on behalf of the Daily Mail readers (and Bernard Wooley) who care about such things.
