Always good for a retrospective chuckle.
My dad, me and two cousins were playing scrabble on Christmas day evening. The board was set up, the tiles selected and large measures of Jack Daniels poured. Mmmm , tasty
Me to go first.
ADVENTS - a seven letter opening stonker
dad: "you can't have ADVENTS, because it's a noun with a capital letter. Like Christmas"
me: " but it's not necessarily religious. For example, 'with the advents of steel production and the steam engine, came the Industrial Revolution' "
A massive alcohol-fuelled argument ensued, the game was packed away and everyone went to bed.
The next day my mum bought a 'scrabble words' book.
ADVENTS was in it.
The book was chucked to avoid any repercussions, and THAT Christmas was never spoken about.
