Here's an avenue we've not explored guys. I've played #1 and #2. I got one of them out and have a best score of 45 with the other. But which is which? I think you'll find both of them pretty testing anyway. |

Richard and Mike, Are you guys watching the Tour de France while you're playing PGS? |

Not enough crash ups. And Richard has been filling up his time time making comments on my Webshots albums. I have to get going on his historical epic. Seems like all those ancient Scots did was chop people up. |

No Ken, I didn't even realise it was on, but it doesn't do much for me anyway.
Yes Mike, the Tour de France could do with a bit more blood and guts. They should take a lead from the Romans and have rotating blades on the wheels. It would keep all those spectators from crowding them out too.
Yes the ancestors were quite a bunch. The more I read about them the more incredible they become. One lot was marching off to join up with the Jacobite army but stopped off en route to wage war on a clan they didn't much care for. Got to keep your hand in. |

Stopping to warm up were they. Practice makes perfect. |

What's happened to the Street party? I've led you up the garden path before, right up an arrow lane with some of my photo comments, but here I am, abandoned in the middle of the road.
Looks like my playmates left me,
When I found a new game to deal.
All on my own in lonely street
Like Heartbreak Hotel.
I'm feelin so lonely Kenny,
Don't think Mike'll get many,
So just give #1 a try.
I've not won #1 yet although I think it is winnable, but 2,3,4,5,6 and 7 have been scalped.
This is a great game with lots of different moves available at times. Worthy of our attention.
Richard has left the building. |

Richard, maybe you're just living on the wrong street.
Mike, #6 is the easiest of the lot. |

You used to think that Streets was so easy,
Your post said #6 was so easy
But is Mike tryin, that number now?
Another favour and then I'll be happy
Is your score with One a bit --appy?
Are you tryin, my bad number now?

I like living on Easy Street. (So, I'll stick with Napoleon's Square.) |

Mike is up the street without a paddle. Nothing is easy for me anymore. |

Ha! Would that be Joints Creek you were trying to navigate?
Just play the games YOU like Mike. I'm taking a bit of a break from TI, but I'll be back there soon no doubt. I'm lucky that there are loads of them that I like, so it's not iportant what ones I play. |

I got #6. I am at a loss as usual to know what I did differently form the other times I tried it. Oh well. I like to try new games. But sometimes I just don't get it. |

Richard, I heard Baker Street coming back from dinner last night, and I considered that a sign, so I went out and won #8! |

I can only get 42 with #10. So maybe I'm not on a roll after all. (Maybe a Scottish bap?) |

My best score with #10 was 31 after three attempts. On the 4th attempt I refused some surprising stuff, TWO red threes that would have played onto a black four.
I don't know whether these will help or not.We know the problems with screenshots, but see if you can duplicate them.
 Position 4/51/10
Uncover the AS now.
 Position 9/29/22
KS comes down into space now.
 Position 10/24/21
Good luck Ken. |

Thanks, RM, I'll check it out. How's #1 coming along? My best score so far is 25, so I'm not going to be much help. BTW, enlighten us about Scottish baps. Are they good? What does Lorne sausage taste like?

A bap is just a soft bread roll, often floured. Lorne sausage is flat and usually very spicy. Most seem to be a place to hide gristle. That's why they're so spicy, to stop you chewing too much and finding this out. There are a few decent ones around though. The price is a good guide.
#1 is proving a handful. I don't think I've had it past 45, but I can see a potential 47 with the high spades |

Got the high spades to score 47 but I think that's aa far as it may go. |

Ken, it's not often a Brit wins a stage of the Tour but it happened yesterday. Similarly it's not often that lorne sausage makes the news. Apparently a Scotsman in an English prison is complaining that he is the subject of racial discrimination as he is in an ethnic minority of 1 in the prison. He's obviously taking the mickey but he is demanding that he gets haggis, porridge and lorne sausage. He makes a valid point that the authorities cater for the muslim prisoners special needs, so why not his? I'd bet that he doesn't even like haggis. |

And my cousin, David Millar, is not too far back!
(What does taking the mickey mean? I'm guessing it doesn't have anything to do with DisneyWorld.) |

Yes Ken, it was David Millar I was checking on. 11th when I looked.
I think that you may be taking the Mikey by asking what it means, so here's a link for you. The phrase I'd normally have used is in their definition too.
