My posts, I've realised, need titles. That could be a challenge in itself. I have a feeling some of them are going to sound like pub names, which could be a game in itself.
I have a long-standing thing for word games going waaaayyyy back to the days of flat-sharing with my very good friend, Pansy Smilso. Back then, boys and girls, shops didn't open on a Sunday (I know! The very thought!!), we were young, we were broke, we had no transport other than shanks' pony and buses or the tube, and Bank Holidays usually meant dreaming up ever more bizarre ways of entertaining ourselves. One of those ways was to play 'Alliterative Animal Names' (Hey, come on! I said we were young and broke. Did I forget to mention that we lived in our own little world as well as a succession of crummy flats?) We had Tony the Pony, Dawn the Prawn, Deborah the Zebra, and one I'm peculiarly proud of to this day: Doris the Loris (look it up!). So look out for word games, clever-arsed quotes and misquotes, and just general intellectual* pseudiness along the way.
*This, to differentiate from the role player definition of "pseud" and thus distance myself from E L James associations as rapidly as I can!**
