[Dixonary] Rnd 2979 TURBA Results
This was a round with unfortunate timing for which I apologize. I did
not notice when I announced the word that my non-digital watch had somehow gained 24 hours so...Anyway: I also played a word which was very close to TURB which Dave C played quite recently and it was only afterwards that I checked out alternative meanings for my word which alternative meanings were those of the simple word TURB - a crowd or a collection of loose stones such as are found at the bottom of a slope - so #3, #7 and #8 were possible correct answers. However, the real answer (with the A on the end) the musical religious term #1 which garnered me a D2 Judy Madnick and Nancy Shepherdson each scoredÂ* 4 points and as Judy is ahead on the rolling scores she is our next dealer The real winner is therefore Nancy on 4 with Dave Cunningham, Shani Naylor and Chris Carson with 3 points each Over to you Judy *JohnnyB* Â*1.
