It’s a legal play because Lynne has played Paddington more than six times and fog has been deemed ‘lifted’, thereby making ‘past names’ eligible (provided it does not contravene the shunt rule, which it obviously doesn’t in this case).
You’re a sly one, Bricker - thank goodness we have ianzin keeping an eye on things. I was about to do a Duncan Bannatyne and sign off with a curt “I’m oot”, but your illegal move (coupled with an inspired, but equally illegal move from furryman) has put me right back in the game. I’m not about to give up in my personal battle with lynne-42, so I play Paddington.
Nice try, Scuba_Ben, but I believe brushed kitties at Waterloo void all illegal moves made within the previous 15 rounds. See Dunsameere&Wales, pp 903-05 - discussing the Royal Academy of Veterinary Intramurals of 1927, when the kitties rule first came to prominence.
