On the evening in question on the "P?" topic, it was decided by the select committee of eggs that attended that GHRFC should be looking always to build, strengthen, and grow. It was in this spirit that on that occasion, we endeavoured to put forward a new rule. A legacy, if you will. 

Inspired from multiple sources, it was decided that AN EMPTY DRINKING VESSEL CANNOT BE PLACED ONTO THE TABLE, unless:

i) The vessel is placed quietly, so as not to offend the ears of the gentlemen of the table. If anyone feels their ears to have been violated, they can cry, "Ooh, my ears!" and the offending gentleman has to refill said vessel and consume it immediately. 

ii) The vessel is, once placed, 'twisted', through at-least-a-decent-attempt-at 90degrees. This is in honour of one Tim "twist it" Davies, who has inadvertently provided a distinctly GHRFC twist (wahey) to the game. Again, if no twist is evident, the vessel should be refilled, emptied, and a further attempt should be made at correctly placing the vessel down. 

I would like to suggest that the core of the club (by which I mean any and all readers of the message board) take it on themselves to enforce this with military vigour, particularly over the next few games and sessions, to start to lay the rule down in the minds of the masses. 

I can say from experience that this is a very good rule. Freddy "Whole Drink" Hartley will hopefully, but not necessarily, agree. 

Yours in attempted growth,

Wilmo
