OLD GEEZER (1). ‘Told you, I win big. Ninety’s your lot!’
OLD GEEZER(2). ‘Skunk.’
‘Bad loser!’
‘No, Skunk. If a player wins by 30 or more it’s a Skunk and he gets an extra game point.
‘Seriously?’
‘Yep, I looked it up in official crib rules….. by 60 or more it’s a Double Skunk.’
‘Maybe we should adopt this into our rules?’
‘Only if we include ‘Muggins’ ….. I’m always showing you points you miss.’
‘ ‘Honour of Crib!’ ‘
‘By the way, I’m off next month.’
‘Where to this time?’
‘India.’
‘Again?’
‘You’d like India.’
‘I doubt it.’
‘Trains!’
‘What else?’
‘Second Test…. India vs England … at Bangalore!’
‘Keep talking.’
‘Biriani!
‘Hm. Do you want another pint?’
‘Just a half.’
‘Seriously.’
‘No.’
