Do you Question everything a person says? Or, in this case, asks?

Ask me how to play this game, I'll tell you. Two sentences, the first one beginning with the last word of the previous player.

Next move could be done on chess. Do you know if you start with 1 dollar in a square of the chessboard and always double the next square, you'll finish billionnaire?

Billionaire - I get confused about billions - is it a thousand million or a million million? The bi is for million squared, and trillion is million cubed, then quadrillion - but I'm sure the seppos and the poms have a different definition of billion.

Elsewhere a billion is a million million. According to tradition in Britain, that is...and don't forget whose language it is. Smile

Amazing things are accomplished at the touch of a button nowadays. For instance, today in my car I was playing a CD of my favourite pop songs which was made for me, compiled by a friend by downloading from the internet.

Internet has plenty of resources. Did he pay for the downloads?

Downloads are free, I believe, if you know what you're doing. He, or she, definitely does.

Titles include "That Ol' Devil Called Love" by Alison Moyet (which is a shameless rip-off of Billy Holliday) and "Georgia On My Mind" by Ray Charles. Also included among the timeless classics is "Oliver's Army" by Costello, Elvis.

Elvis is a first name nicely connected to music. Billy too.

Billy too quickly written, should really have been Billie. My apologies.

Apologies aren't needed. We are between friends.

Friends are nice to have- essential, really. A person who has some good friends is very lucky.

Lucky Gordon was the name of a character in the notorious Profumo case a few decades ago, famously involving Christine Keeler. I think Lucky was originally from Jamaica.
