Croquet's a marvellous game. You can be so evil to the other players. And it brings back fond memories of playing it on the croquet lawn during very long lunchtimes just outside whatsisface (the old MD)'s office at Hirst.

Don't have many memmories of play croquet. However do have a peaice of advice. If playing in the dark lighting the hops with candles is a good way of burning the grass. Especally if your all really drunk and barely able to play anyway.
