I assumed I would be learning something about pizza restaurants : sadly disappointed.

Moved to the pedants' thread?

There ARE dangers attendant!
Some thirty years ago I read a piece in The Spectator about the World Dominoes Championships in Jamaica. One aficianado was quoted: "Me born to play domino".
Top prize was about thirty thousand pounds - serious money in Jamaica in those days - so invigilators, armed with pens and papers, diligently scrutinised any and all mannerisms and noises to inspect how those correlated with the dominoes subsequently revealed to be in that player´s possession.
Yours from a man who has written more than most about sly coughs to help a player out and the pickle such suspicions could land three people in...

I have an anthology CD set by the wonderful Lee "Scratch" Perry. He writes in the notes "I wasn't one of the working type. I loved to play domino".
