My dear finbar,
I've just beheaded my earlier diplomat, if that is the correct word. Please accept my apologies and get your @ss here at 8:30pm sharp!

Which word are you wondering about? "I've", or "just", or "beheaded", or "my", or "earlier", or "diplomat". We can't help you with your second language unless you're more specific.

Winzity expresed interest and I'm happy for him to play but I think it might be unwise to have too many players? What do you all think?

9.31pm. Quickly turn off computer when you think you hear Mrs Horse coming.

9.31 and 30 seconds pm. Quickly turn computer back on again when you realise it's a false alarm.

9.31 and 45 seconds pm. Die in the arse when Mrs Horse walks in to point out - not that you need to have it pointed out - that you fell for the old false alarm double bluff.

9.32pm. Deity finally cracks the sh*ts and goes to bed in a sulk.

No fights to speak of - well, I did have to insist that Deity disband his peripatetic* warrior who was blundering around my land. Being the gent that he is, Deity obliged. Finally.

*I feel confident I can use a word like this in your company, Doctor. The others, of course, will have to look it up in a dictionary.

Nuh. Try the next bit of the definition. The bit about itinerant, wandering.

Someone asked me what 'peripatetic' meant the other day (I think they were reading Rousseau's Confessions) as it happens.

I managed to provide Finbar's definition, though I admit defeat on the Aristotle reference.

Aristotelian is derived from Aristotle's habit of walking around while he taught. Hence Aristotle was peripatetic. Aristotelian would appear in a dictionary under "peripatetic" but it doesn't define the word. It's more of a similie.
