        Well, maybe I will accept - or share - the point, when The Statman remembers this thread

        In the meantime...

        ROUND THIRTY-SIX

              I think that barely took you as much time as it took me to work out which letters to remove. Congratulations!

                  • Until The Statman closes round 35, here is...

                    ROUND 37

                    What is something that you own but probably never use? You often lose it, and may be unable to find it until the following day. You can make it move and, with the help of something else, may be able to make it grow.

                                Crikey... well... there seems to be an EIGHT there... and "go"

                                something like "go 8 times in eights"?

                                I am really clutching at straws here...
