You are indeed correct. Interestingly (well not really) on the way to Wembley on the coach I was listening to a Podcast "The Infinite Monkey Cage" with Prof Brian Cox. They had a stats person on and they said the way to win monopoly is the oranges and the greens. It's down to the fact that when you roll two die you are more likely to roll a number over 6. For example to roll a 2 there is only one way (1 & 1). To roll a three two ways 1 & 2, and 2 & 1. To roll a six you can do 1 & 5, 2 & 4, 3 & 3, 4 & 2, 1 & 5. Apparently, this means you are less likely to land on Mayfair. There is some truth in it. :)
Indeed. I was always quick to get Mayfair and Park Lane and site hotels on them. Didn't do any good. Would only really win a game down one side if I managed to capture Bond, Regent and Oxford Streets as well. Even then it wasn't certain. My opponents would just shut their eyes as they threw the dice. Inevitably they'd land on Liverpool St Station or the Super Tax or even go directly to Jail, but that was no good to me. I was still whizzing around the board pay out pissy, but regular amounts to Northumberland Avenue or some such. <doh>

Blimey, Nepal. Fair play with the cultural education. As someone said, most players would head for the beach. But Oriol is not one of those 'most players', and I like him just a little bit more for that.
Where's Klopp gone on holiday? Perhaps Blackpool has got too hot for him.....he prefers meeting players further from home.:emoticon-0107-sweat

This joke is going to go on giving....we need it now Magilton has been sacked.<laugh>

Tbf, it was quite reasonable surroundings as the place has been recently decorated. And being a South American, he probably likes his steak [sweeping generalisation there, but what the hell]. I noted it was the 14oz Aberdeen Angus jobbie, because I'd just ordered the same. I had the Jack Daniels Tennessee Honeyglaze sauce with mine. Quite scrummy with a pint or two of good stout. I've never been a huge red meat eater, but I will make the occasional exception.

Sounds good, do they understand medium-rare?

Yep, because that's exactly what I asked for and it was. They ask you how you'd like your steak done and when it arrives there's a little spike stuck into the meat which denotes the amount of time it has been cooking. My mate's steak was well done and there was an obvious difference, so it isn't just for show.

Sounds a charmer.
There's another player who is always supposed to be a 'top bloke'. They all have their darker side. From the small knowledge I have of Austin he's a likeable, usually well meaning, if complete idiot, not a calculating bastard, though he appears to be the real guilty one here. And, if true [you can never take anything The Sun says as 'truth'] then he deserves all the brik-bats he gets from it. Both the women have been duped.
