[Dixonary] Round 2908 results
Hi all
Plagium turned out not to be related to plagarism or swimming, but it's a Scottish legal term for kidnapping children. I found it in a novel called Gillespie and I, by Jane Harris (recommended, if you like historical fiction), which features this heinous crime. Dave Cunningham is our winner, with 5 unnatural points, for his beach or cove, with Tim B & Tony as the real winners on 3 points each. Take it away Dave! 1.
