I second that! Thanks to everyone who has contributed files to this
site! I'm making my way through the list, having only discovered it a
year ago. But it's timeless isn't it...the simplicity of the game (in
theory anyway, I'm pretty sure I'd be useless playing!) is its strong
point.

A toast to the originals, and to all players who have made me smile
and laugh out loud like a fool whilst sat on the bus - attracted some
stares in the process.

Also a special mention to those who aren't there to celebrate the
40th Anniversary....Kenneth Williams, Derek Nimmo, Peter Jones, Linda
Smith, Peter Cook to name but a few.

PS: Miriam - Paul Merton is my hero too! Good choice!
