I got blocked about 5 years ago by JK Rowling because I tweeted her with “you are a c*nt”

Whenever I’m reminded of that fact it brings a smile to my face.

5 hours of my life I’m never getting back - and what an amazing 5 hours that was! First play with one major rule missed… but hey it was so much fun.

Am I alone in that I quite enjoy playing as the smugglers?

I offered council to both factions and it took them a while to understand that my helpfulness only served my own purposes as it took me far into the lead.

Last Thurs 16/10 this lil man went missing. He returned on Sunday wet, cold, hungry and injured. Suspected he’d been hit by a car.
In only a couple of days he’s perked up so much and enjoying cuddles with his dadda.
I didn’t think I would see his little face again.

Came in second though

A week long game on BGA was one of the most intense I’ve ever played and ended with me losing out by a single point and I absolutely loved it.
