Humiliation

[FierceKitty]

Well, it had to happen; wife has just beaten me at crusades-era battle (myself with Ayyubids, little lady with Byzantines). She's rather pleased with herself.

I remember when that happened to me in a game of Bolt Action, ive demanded a rematch but to no avail! The shame of it all!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

My wife is a demon at Carcassione!

[Techno]

My wife won't even lower herself to play Scrabble against yours truly or her Mother.
Cheers - Phil.

Actually, it bruises the male ego less than losing to another man.

My wife is a demon at Carcassione

Was there couple of weeks ago didn't see her.

Cracking place for a holiday though, we regularly go to Carcassonne and the Cathar country  - plenty of history, food and good quality wine at 1.70 euro a litre 

This year the Cathar castle sneaked into the family itinerary was les quatre chateaux de Lastours. Would make a fantastic modelling project and unsuccessfully besieged by our own Mr De Montford.

[FierceKitty]

Mmmm, I like that. Jealous.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice Matt, you lucky man.

Mine too. And she always insists on sitting on my right, so I never get to play the tile I want to 'cause she's beaten me to it. 

[Nosher]

Never been beaten by a girl, but have been beaten by a few players that act like girls when they dont win/dont get things their own way

[FierceKitty]

Never been beaten by a girl....

If you try it, be very clear on the safe word before you start.

Pretty certain Mr D M was in fact Monsieur D M. Probably couldn't speak a word of Middle English, and yet we still regard him as ours and name unis and concert halls after him. If that doesn't prove there's no such thing as an Englishman, i.e. a still extant pure-bred Saxon or Angle, then nothing does.

My surname actually translates as Saxon or Englishman, does that count?

[Leman]

Not any more. There's bound to be something else in there by now, after all my kids have an Anglo-Norman name. but they're half Irish.

[FierceKitty]

Well, with a Scottish name, I may have strains of French, Dutch, Malay, Xhosa. I claim the prize as pedigree mongrel.
