  1. Bloody hell this is my fourth attempt at announcing that the Wonderful 🎄🎄🎄 Yuletide 🎄🎄🎄 Wordle 🎄🎄🎄Tournament 🎄🎄🎄starts tomorrow on Monday December 1st*

    I know this tourney is loved and enjoyed by all Afterworders, they even named the Forum after it

    The tournament is open to everyone so come and be delighted or mystified over a period of 18 days for the fight to have the charmingly wooden company of Spoonie at your Christmas Party

    Let the fun begin 😄 post your results below

    *I suspect putting ‘Wordle’ in the header causes a problem

  12. Wordle 1,626 5/6*

    The curse of hard mode strikes again.

      • Now now Boswell I doubt your powers of prescience are equal to those of Mystic Meg and your outlook for your own prospects are a bit optimistic I suspect a free for all for the chance of having Spoonie’s company at Christmas Dinner

        🎄🎄🎄 And as it’s the Season of Goodwill I honestly extend to you Best Wishes for the rest of ‘25 and decades to come 🎄🎄🎄

        I do of course extend those best wishes to all Afterworders especially @Dai and I hope he recovers soon from having endured Radiohead* for the 6th(?) time

        *it’s a jest @Dai from one Taff to another.

    • It’s an arcane adventure where only them that know can join in. Our Admin Guy has been banned twice, yes twice, and still he carries on. It’s like we are watching Game of Thrones or reading Pullman’s Dust Trilogy – not a scooby.

  29. I would just like to say that I have twice tried to add a bit of humour to the thread in my opening comment and my comment at 10:22 this morning yes my humour may be lacking but I tried

    My comment to Steve T was a windup, a jest, a joke an attempt at being funny but 3 people immediately jumped down my throat something that’s never done when Boswell is trolling me something he cannot resist

    As I’ve stated above ‘tis the Season of Goodwill but I’m increasingly finding it difficult with regard to the persistent comments made by Boswell casting aspersions on my character and continually making false accusations

    Boswell is adept at hiding behind double meanings when challenged on this

    I am very happy to carry on running the December Edition but if anyone else wants to do it that’s fine with me

    As Paul Hewston says in his opening statement in his Album Of The Year Thread “ it’s just a bit of fun innit?”

    • It just a bit of fun. Some people dont like it coz it clogs up the update feed. I get that but well, too bad. It’s all part of the blog.
      Ok there are occasional niggles. Just let them go through to the keeper. ( SWIDT).
      You did an excellent job previously and I encourage you to continue Pyramid.

    • Think this one is a 4 but stand to be corrected – this is a joke too. Don’t know who Boswell is – must have missed this bit. Shall forever be known in this house now as the Boswell incident. Happy Christmas everyone from a rainy northern Florida
