And book has 148 page so minimum posting time is 1 hour

[Cat]

Sorry, not intentional!

Withdrawn for the next x minutes...

(it did not feel like 148p! I shall endeavour not to hold a grudge against Sandy for those minutes I'm never getting back)

[❀Tea❀]

We have timers set up for just in case :P

You have timers....? We are having fun with food based jokes...!

(what's the fastest cake in the world? (view spoiler)[scone! (hide spoiler)])

Anyway, it didn't impact on our goal scoring, and I promise to do better, but I honestly needed to get that book out of my hair quickly!

[Eldarwen]

Scone.... *starts drooling*

The cheese puns were awesome by the way!!

I do hope you realise there are more still to come! We've barely touched the sides of food & cheese based fun...

I did actually have a cream tea the other day... Can't beat a scone with clotted cream & jam. :)

Can anything?!

Can't wait to get to London and stock up on scones!! Think I'll have to travel with an empty suitcase haha ;-)

[Jammin Jenny]

Slytherin Beater -Attack complete

Ora has finished Ilias and knocked Sandy off her broom.

[Cat]

I think I’m on the right side of the timer to say that I finished Ilias

....

I finished it! Sandy’s safe on her broom, and I restrained myself from aiming a grudge bludger at her for putting me through that!

[SandyL]

Sorry Cat - you can rest assured I suffered as well!

[❀Tea❀]

I don't think Slytherins would protest much if you do send that bludger at her. Maybe Ora would even help you out ;)

[Cat]

Karishma successful defends Katie, finished Cocky Client

[Ora]

Ready and willing ;)

[Cat]

Oh, you guys, fair warning on a BAD book that Gryff Jenny found...Mirror: Awakening, super duper awful. Even if it fits multiple TriWiz tasks, it is B.A.D.

Really, you’ll be tempted....
Resist the urge, I beg of you

[Ora]

Why would anyone be tempted to read it with the overall goodreads rating?! There has to be more than one mirror book.

[Cat]

I think that the rating had only gone down since Jenny found it!

I almost never rate bad books, but had to break out the 1star for it.

I've been up since the game started and only got a few hrs sleep yesterday so my mind's a bit groggy...

[Cat]

And grrrrrr! Quaffling our chain like that, just rude!

[Jammin Jenny]

Have some cheese??

[Cat]

Good plan!

What cheese do you use to hide a small horse?

(view spoiler)[mascarpone! Mask a pony! Geddit?! (hide spoiler)]

[Jammin Jenny]

Would you rather

For shame! Cheese is food from the heavens and should not be slandered like that!

Point of Order

The matching word can’t be an article a/an/the/on etc

[Shannon]

Here’s the rule:



2. Beaters can now read books for attack or defence that have a common word in the title (i.e no longer has to be the same book). The chosen book must be the same page count, or higher, of the book they are matching.
Note: matching word can not be articles and words such as and/an/or/the/in/on etc.

[Karishma]

Okay thanks Shannon. I thought it was any word.
