P was looking at aquifer levels (as I'm sure you all do on a Saturday morning  Wink ) and he came across the word oolite. Now isn't that a fine scrabble word when you've got too many 'o's.  I had never come across it before, but will I remember it when I next play scrabble? Probably not.

Totally logical V.  Oooo err Mrs.  Maybe OOIDS  could be a collective noun for Carry on Film fans, although it reminds me of B movie aliens.
I thought of “ooids you?” Big Grin
All my family have started playing scrabble again so I will have to get genned up!( Dunno whether genned is an allowed scrabble word though?) Words that are or are not allowed in scrabble seem to vary depending on which look up tool you use? Rolleyes

Or who you happen to be playing with my lad's a terror for blagging his way to allowing suspect words.  He sounds super confident, convinces everyone else it's valid, then when you check up on him it's a load of codswallop.
