TLW66 - Nomads Results

obviously creating a lot more movement than before so I'm not really sure.11. How far would you travel to play in a one-day tournament?I'd travel about two and a half hours each way. I figure its worth 5 hours travel for 5hours of Scrabble. Living in the Midlands makes many places more easily accessible.12. What was your greatest moment in Scrabble?Beating Noel Turner, Clive Spate and Phil Appleby in successive games in my A divisiondebut at the BMSC13. On average how many games of Scrabble do you play in a week?Between 6 and 20 depending if there's a tournament included.14. What football team do you support?Armchair support only. I support Stenhousemuir in Scotland because years ago theyalways finished bottom and I felt sorry for them. In England I support Watford, but Idont really know why, although I did see them beat Man Utd at Old Trafford in the Cupin the days of Luther Blissett.15. What do you think is the best word you have ever played?Possibly SQUADRON for 212 in a Midlands Final in the 80's when aggregate scores stillruled the roost, and I remember stealing a game with FAHLERZ some time ago.16. Would life be better if you stopped playing Scrabble?No, but my bank balance probably would be!! I've made a lot of friends on the Scrabblescene and I'd miss the social side of it.17. What's the best place you have ever visited?We often used to go on family holidays to the Isle of Wight when I was a child and I stilllook forward to seeing the island when I go to the tournament each year.18. Who do you think is the best Scrabble player of all?Not an easy question to answer, but I'd put Mark Nyman near the top as he's won theWorld title. So much depends on the luck of the tiles ifs quite easy to be top one weekand bottom the next (I speak from experience!!).19. Whafs your favourite book, film and TV programme?I'm not really a novels reader but I do enjoy finding things out from reference books.No real favourite film but I enjoy historical films such as Mrs Brown (with Judy Dench asQueen Victoria) and Elizabeth (with Cate Blanchett).
