    Hah!

    I remember playing this when I was at UEA in '76, now a prominent center for dissemination of unfactual emails about the climate but then famous mostly for its spectroscopy departments.

    I couldn't remember the name of the game for the life of me last week when I was talking about it, and the yoofs I was talking to ridiculed me with harsh words, taunting me without mercy.

    Oh how I shall laugh as I force their e-mail accounts to accept a link to this page!

    Bwa-ha-ha etc etc etc.
