In Episode 21, Jon, Nick, Dan, Matt (yes, really) and Paul (he enjoyed Episode 20 so much he decided to stay) chat about events in Hinckley, Leicestershire and Fort Worth, Texas.
First there is the shocking revelation that Nick won an event and the slightly less shocking revelation that Paul won a best painted prize at the recent BDM event, before Nick, Dan and Jon talk about their adventures in Texas, including the pitfalls of playing jenga with Drunk Dan and why eating random green lumps in a sushi bar can lead to a painful burning sensation. They even talk a little about their games; inbetween talking about drink and food.
They also look ahead to upcoming events and Nick suggests a FFS 2-day event in February... stay tuned for more details.
