________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It’s fairly normal for young children to cheat when they’re playing board games. As they grow older, they realize that the fun is actually in taking part in the game, not necessarily in winning it. By the time they reach their teens, they have usually learnt not to cheat. Sadly, this was not the case of a player in a national board game championship held annually in the USA. The player wanted to win so much that he resorted to cheating.
The board game was Scrabble. This is a word game that was created in 1938 by an American architect called Alfred Mosher Butts. In the game, players have to make words from individual letters on small squares called ‘tiles, and then put the words on a board. Two of the most useful tiles in the game are the blanks, which are tiles without any letters on them. A blank isn’t worth any points, but a player can use it to replace any letter of the alphabet.
The cheat in this particular tournament was a 15-year-old boy from Orlando, in the USA. He had surprised organizers in the early stages of the competition by beating some of the best players, despite the fact that he had never played in competitions before. This made some of the other players suspicious , including the man who caught him, 43-year-old Arthur Moore. Moore had already played the boy the day before, and Moore had won the match, although the boy had had both of the blank tiles. In Scrabble, before a new game starts the players put the tiles from the previous game back into a small bag. This time, Moore had a good look at the tiles on the table before he and his opponent put them in the bag to start the game. He was not surprised to see that the two blanks were together on the table in front of the boy. As the two players were putting the tiles into the bag, Moore discretely watched the boy’s left hand. He saw the boy pick up the two blanks, and put his hand under the table. This was the signal for Moore to call one of the organizers and accuse the boy of cheating.
When the boy was taken away for questioning, he admitted taking the two blanks during the game and hiding them under the table. As a result of his cheating, the tournament director disqualified him and banned him from playing in the competition again.-

Many years ago I used to play tennis with a man called Roger. He usually beat me but I remember how kind he was. We lost touch when I got married and I thought I’d never see him again. That was 30 years ago. When I retired last year, I needed a new activity, especially as I had also recently got divorced, so I took up golf. One day I was going around the course alone, when I saw a man, also playing on his own. When he turned round, I realized it was my old friend! We couldn’t believe it! After that we started playing regularly. Yesterday, Roger proposed in the middle of the golf course – he’d put a ring inside a golf ball! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the ring, but I said ‘yes’!

I was looking for a flatmate a few months ago because I had just split up with my partner and she had moved out. To forget her, I started working out at the gym after work. I slowly got to know Steve who was often there at the same time, although we didn’t become friends until we were both warming up one day, and he said he was looking for somewhere to live as his girlfriend had just dumped him. I told him that I had a room in my flat and that I was looking for a flatmate. He moved in two days later. We’ve become good mates and we both agree that we’re much easier to live with than our ex-girlfriends!
Liz
I had recently moved to Oxford from Bristol when I decided to run the London Marathon. I didn’t want to train alone so I advertised for a running partner at my local gym, and Harriet got in touch. We met for coffee and got on really well. It was amazing how many things we had in common, for example she had recently moved to Oxford, too. While we were getting fit we also became close friends.
Unfortunately I got injured three weeks before the race and couldn’t take part. I was sad about the race, but am delighted about my new friendship. And we’re already thinking about next year …

We’ve become good mates and we both agree that we’re much easier to live with than our ex-girlfriends!
Liz
I had recently moved to Oxford from Bristol when I decided to run the London Marathon. I didn’t want to train alone so I advertised for a running partner at my local gym, and Harriet got in touch. We met for coffee and got on really well. It was amazing how many things we had in common, for example she had recently moved to Oxford, too. While we were getting fit we also became close friends.
Unfortunately I got injured three weeks before the race and couldn’t take part. I was sad about the race, but am delighted about my new friendship. And we’re already thinking about next year …

Many years ago I used to play tennis with a man called Roger. He usually beat me but I remember how kind he was. We lost touch when I got married and I thought I’d never see him again. That was 30 years ago. When I retired last year, I needed a new activity, especially as I had also recently got divorced, so I took up golf. One day I was going around the course alone, when I saw a man, also playing on his own. When he turned round, I realized it was my old friend! We couldn’t believe it! After that we started playing regularly. Yesterday, Roger proposed in the middle of the golf course – he’d put a ring inside a golf ball! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the ring, but I said ‘yes’!

I was looking for a flatmate a few months ago because I had just split up with my partner and she had moved out. To forget her, I started working out at the gym after work. I slowly got to know Steve who was often there at the same time, although we didn’t become friends until we were both warming up one day, and he said he was looking for somewhere to live as his girlfriend had just dumped him. I told him that I had a room in my flat and that I was looking for a flatmate. He moved in two days later. We’ve become good mates and we both agree that we’re much easier to live with than our ex-girlfriends!
