Just got the sixteenth body in.

However, there are probably two teams who are going to be one short - so if you want to play we can certainly match you up with somebody.

Unfortunately, one of those is Hammy - if you are winning going into the last round, don't let Hammy come up with the plan ;)

Phil,

If you can make it you can pair up with me or if I end up playing FoW (which is a possibility) then you can use the Germans.

Durham is a town. Perhaps its an Irish place that got lost. English counties are called shires, french ones, like Surrey, just have their name and some county town that the french imposed on them, like Guildford. Irish counties say Co (town Name) so they know which bit they are talking about. So it seems Nik that you have Irish ancestry, so are therefore Spanish.

QED
