Pssh silly Nestle
I intend to do a pub quiz, using smarties to get the answers, to determine whether Nestle's claim that "only smarties have the answer" is as spurious as it sounds.

I'm looking forward to some poker; didn't know how many knew how to play. I think there is some sort of poker society.

Is anyone on planetpoker (online poker rooms)? My screen name is "Spammiam" if anyone's interested in a game for free play money.

Out of interest, does anyone know how to play casino Blackjack (a.k.a. 21, called "Pontoon" by Aussies)?

We should definitely try and get some games of poker going when we're down there... the noble tradition of losing lots of money/matches to sam cannot be allowed to lapse :wink:

Never. Haven't seen one either.

Best hand I think I've had is 4 queens in the past while.

I've had a straight flush, but alas, the royal flush escapes me! According to the Guiness Book of records one guy got dealt two royal flushes in a row!
i have had a straight flush and 4 Ks and 4 As

Nope but I've been meaning to buy a nice casino-standard set. :biggrin:

In the past it's been pennies, matchsticks and sweets for me..
