Ah! Thanks, Elegran! smile

Elegran Wed 20-Jun-12 19:49:03

anagram I have noticed that the asterisks only work if there is a space before the first and after the second of them. You had dots just before and a question mark Just after.

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 19:47:48

Only if he stands to attention and salutes me

jeni Wed 20-Jun-12 19:39:40

If he's a BIG private would you make him a major?

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 19:35:27

Privates as in soldiers....If I make pete a corporal and give him two stripes he might come over all bossy..and this is my game so I'm in charge...and yes will be separate sleeping bags and separate ditches if he's has been eating onions he can blow his own cover,I will share with Donald,although I won't keep him out too late as he has to get up for his paper round in the morning...last night I heard rustling in the rhubarb....sshhhh.

Why don't the asterisks work for words other than our usernames? confused

Anagram Wed 20-Jun-12 19:14:01

Dark? Do you mean dark as in lack of daylight, or...*dark*?

AlieOxon Wed 20-Jun-12 19:12:03

I'm glad it's going to get dark.

Pete Wed 20-Jun-12 16:52:20

soop Wed 20-Jun-12 16:45:16

Pete...here she goes...nellie wants you in uniform. Now there'll be no stopping her. Insist on your own sleeping bag. Ask her to taste any rations before she shares with you. Wouldn't put it past her to add some drowsy-making ingredients. And, watch out for Donald. He can play rough. I look forward to catching up first thing in the morning. grin

nelliedeane Wed 20-Jun-12 16:31:23

I have told you not to creep up behind me...you walk in front with the torch...er have you decided to keep me company....if so we better have some rations...what are you bringing...oh and you gotta where camouflages......privates on parade grin
