Hi all - here are the results for our word Conceytate. The winner, with 4
natural points, is Johnny Barrs for his elegant ingenious phrase. Coveted
second place, with 4 unnatural points, goes to Tim Lodge for his foolish or
stupid act. The actual correct definition is 'pregnancy'. This means the
movie I saw at the weekend could be retitled "Bridget Jones's Conceytate"
-- actually that's not very catchy (good movie though).

Take it away Johnny.
