Well, Round 84 is now at an end.
I let it run to 1,000 this time as it does not seem to slow the Forum down now.
It’s now time for ROUND 85 :D
A reminder of how to play:
Just post a word, (or two or three) which is somehow connected to the word posted before you - i.e. Tennis – Elbow - Foot. If someone beats you to it you'll have to delete yours and post another. If a person can't understand the connection between the two words they can challenge you - and you or them gets to look silly! :p
Just a few points here:
- If your challenge is successful you get to restart the game (in this thread).
- If the game grinds to a halt because no one has replied to a challenge or because the successful challenger has failed to post a new word, the game can be restarted by anyone after 1 hour.
- For those of us who like to include a picture PLEASE include the words as well. We’ve had some cases of pictures not appearing and no way of knowing what the word is. ;)
Okay…let’s begin Round Eighty-five:
The first word is:

Anyone for Tennis ?
The draw for Dubai has been released and Maria is the #3 seed and has a bye in the first round. In the 2nd round, Maria will play either Marion Bartoli of France or Vera Dushevina of Russia. Maria has never played Dushevina before in WTA competition and has played Bartoli once before in Doha last year and she won 6-3 6-2.
6-3 6-2??? Here's me thinking Maria's statistics were 34-22-34!!!

Let th' Battle commence !
(Albert were what you'd call “thwarted”.
He had long had an ambition, which...
Were to save up and go to Australia,
The saving up. That were the hitch.
He'd a red money box on the pot shelf,
A post office thing made of tin,
But with him and his Dad and the bread knife,
It never had anything in.)

Battle of Hastings
King Harold was inspecting his troops on the eve of the Battle of Hastings, chatting with them a bit, trying to raise their morale, that sort of thing.
He went to the swordsmen first, choosing a soldier at random from amongst the ranks. "Do you feel ready for the battle tomorrow?" he asked.
"Oh yes, sire," the swordsman responded eagerly.
"Handy with that thing are you?" Harold asked, indicating the man's sword.
"Reasonably so, sire," the man replied. "Watch." He bent down, picked up a handful of grass, flung it in the air, and waved his sword about. When the grass fell down again, it had been cut into a neat line of soldier figures.
"Good work, man," said Harold, impressed, "and good luck in the battle."
"Thank you, sire," said the soldier.
King Harold proceeded to inspect the pikemen. "Are you looking forward to the battle?" he asked one of their number.
"Yes, sire," the man replied.
"Good with your pike, are you?" the King asked.
"Not bad," the pikeman said. "See that flock of birds?" Harold nodded, and the pike flashed in the soldiers hand. It went sailing through the air, right through the centre of the flock, and when it came down five birds were skewered on it.
"Well done," said Harold, "and good luck in the battle tomorrow."
He then went to the archers, who stood proudly with their longbows, looking intimidating even to someone on their side. "Are you ready for tomorrow's battle?" King Harold asked one bowman.
The man squinted at him a bit, then said, "Good Lord, it's the King! Um, yes I'm ready."
"What can you do with that bow, then?" Harold asked him.
"What? Oh, this thing? I dunno. Someone gave me it yesterday and told me to stay with these people here."
"Well... do you see that barn over there, about twenty yards away?"
The archer peered in the direction of Harold's pointing finger. "Oh yes, I see it," he said at last.
"Do you think you could hit that?"
"I think so." He lined himself up with the barn, grunting with the effort of drawing the bow, and loosed the arrow. It sailed past the barn, five feet too high and ten feet to the left.
"Did I hit it?" he asked.
"Er, yes," said Harold. "Well done, and good luck."
Then the King turned to the captain of archery and said in an undertone, "Watch out for that man tomorrow, will you? He'll have somebody's eye out with that thing."
Aye. Aye, Cap'n

FISH FINGERS FACTS
In 1971 an obituary for Captain Birds Eye appeared in the Times newspaper after it was decided to retire him. But retirement was temporary and he returned in 1974
John Hewer played the captain between 1967 and 1998, when he was retired, aged 76, for 30-something Thomas Pescod
In 1974 a rise in inflation and the Cod Wars saw fish finger sales plateau for the first time
A poll in 1993 named Captain Birds Eye as the most recognised captain after Captain Cook
