INTERESTING MOMENTS
Sydney suburbs beginning with La? La La Land. Which applies to the whole of the eastern suburbs.
One player from India was stereotyped as being an expert on cricket. Which might have been offensive except for the fact that it was extremely accurate.
When we gave a player in the categories bonus round the letter T, he tried to go for “torture” for “a reason to get fired” and “a crime”, which is fine, but also “a place to go on a date” and “something you do every day”. We have reported him to the police.
And our leaders managed another win and kept their place at the top of the table, but it’s still really close.
