Fine Rockfordill! Did you see my earlier posting? Runner up in the �500 Gk xword of 2 wks ago - only a crossword book, but better than nothing! Have you done today's scrabble. had to check on its spelling!

[rockfordill]

Roslyn - many congratulations on the prize - well done

I have just started using the Telegraph fountain pen that I recently won - have not done the scrabble yet - was going to finish the GK first - will come back to you if I need any help
but still need to know how to spell marrakech and nephelite ?

[roslyn251254]

Rockfordill -I'm going for Marrakech and nepheline (Chambers) but i think either will do.
Also won the famous pen about 5 yrs ago, but mine just sits in a drawer in its box!!!!

Roslyn
Yes my pen sat in a box too but then went to stationary shop and purchased ink cartridges and started using it - it works very well and encourages to write more carefully !

I guess I have finished the scrabble but do not like misere as an english word (australian slang I'm told)

all the best
