Please arrive on timeMany thanks to the Maltese Scrabble Club who made our holiday such a wonderfulexperience, inviting us to their homes and making us so welcome. At the 10 gametournament we attended I increased my Maltese rating by 138 points (four figure ratingsystem) and got quite blasé about the ten point penalty challenge rule. I was worried thetrophy I won would take our baggage allowance over as the Maltese trophies are veryimpressive and rather hefty! However, a little story for you which I hope will result in youletting us know your moment of inspiration ....Was it the bottle of delicious heady sweet Gozotan wine I had just guzzled? Was it thefive hours I had spent basking in the beautiful sunshine? Was it divine interventionlistening to the enchanting bells ringing out Ave Maria from the church in Mgarr harbour?Or was it my 1% inspiration? In a friendly tournament on holiday Dave played INTE onto an R from O3 to stop me using the triple. Ha, ha, ha! I squealed madly, jumped out ofmy sun lounger, and slapped down my tiles to make INTERDEALING. What 12 letterword or other word have you played of note and were there any extraneous reasons?Tony Ward - Cartoonist, Professor Munchenstrassberg from TheInstitute of Trial and Error, A.
