Well, the original "Nomen Luni" is impossible to cross from right to
down, after all! ;-)

Bollocks? ;-) I always thought it was a bone-shaped sponge, or
possibly two globes.

Three times actually - in fact four times because of the list-wiping
incident.

Carl Murray very kindly sent me a 15th May version of my List of
MM/JSW Games, so it was easy to read through the relevant messages to
bring it back up to date. Today's the day I'm planning to burn the
contents of my accounts onto CD for the first time since October 2001! :-)

I wouldn't be able to find these items(!) myself, because shops just
don't sell Spectrum stuff these days. :-( But the term "car-boot sale"
springs to mind; see
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/cssfaq/faqs.html#Q13 or ask in
comp.sys.sinclair.
