Stark reminder of what a messed-up world we live in - that so many people go hungry...

but anyway...

I've done it twice. First time wasn't good. Second time I got 390 and was quite chuffed with myself.

But I'm not sure I agree with the definition of provincial -unsophisticated. <- spoiler (click on quote to see the answer).

Perhaps the acid test is whether you could get a skinny latte in a Somerset village? ::lol::

Skinny latte, cappuccino, mocha, straight from the cow (the milk, not the coffee, hahaha)

You name it....which is also pretty ironic, given the nature of what we're clicking for...

anyway, good site.

I started this last night and did a few, but didn't have time to continue, even though I didn't get any wrong up to that point. I really must try to find time to do some more another time. Good site.

it is so tempting to come up with a smart answer to that question :angel: but i won't.....!

another thought: if you come across a word you like while playing this game, post it on here with its meaning. :D
