Dick Weltz and Matthew Grieco have tied with 7 natural points each.
We've missed Matthew in Dixonary lately, but his absence from the game means
Dick is well and truly above him in the rolling scores.
Congratulations Dick; over to you!
Dave and JohnnyB correctly identified BRAB as being No.9 the Palmyra palm,
defined in the OED (and also in Wordnik which cites the Century Dictionary)
Goodnight :)

PS ... I'm back home now, so am able to send this in EXACTLY the same way I
have in past Deals, using Outlook Express on my PC.
(the previous posts I've sent these past few days were from Thunderbird on
my laptop).
So ... I wonder what it will look like in G.Groups this time.
