My original posting hasn't appeared on the website, so I'm posting
again - apologies if this turns out to be a duplicate.
It seems to be only Nancy and me playing this game (or winning it)
at the moment!
Nancy Shepherdson's Mongolian pony wins the next deal with 6
unnatural points. Next in line is the OED with 4 votes for the true
def: The Afghan hat. The real winners are Dan Widdis and Scott
Crom with 3 points each.
Over to you, Nancy.
