Ted had me in stitches tonight. He was really on form. We were playing Monopoly for a while and he was cheating his arse off. His main aim for the evening seemed to be to bankrupt Beryl. She took it with her usual good grace and humour, right up to the point where she threw the Top Hat at him and stormed off to get herself some gin.
Next week we’re playing Cluedo instead, and Ted’s already talked to me about ways we can collude and conspire. He said “I love beating Beryl at board games. It’s the only time in her life when she loses control and gets angry. I love it when she’s like that!”
So my prediction for Cluedo next weekend is that the murder will be committed by Beryl, in the kitchen, with the chopping board.
