This game is pretty simple all you have to do is name any name and the next person has to chose another name begging with the last letter of the other name A bit like lees except I am going to see how bigger thread we can get.

Perhaps Purdie's new game will be even more worthwhile if each new name is linked to ... something. For example:

ENGELBERT

OK, but let's not make that a condition. After all this is Purdie's game and Purdie should get to make the rules!

PURDIE has good news for all of us who have been worrying about the exhaustive methylation of a methyl glycoside by repeated treatment with methyl iodide and silver oxide, followed by hydrolysis of the pentamethyl ether with dilute acid to yield the anomeric hydroxyl group:

Like others here I don't have a clue how to do a link, sorry. Nevertheless, the game seems to be going well Purdie so like Lee you can have two merits and I'll give you a sweet in class when I see you.

Hey! I did Tiberius already at the top of the thread - though I'll bet I had a different Tiberius in mind.

The last two entries, Socrates and Sampson, suggested to me that the game might be more challenging if we confined ourselves to historical personalities who are generally known by only one name, rather than by first name and surname. So in that spirit, I offer Nefertiti. From the link:
    How does one of the most powerful, stunningly beautiful and controversial queens of ancient Egypt virtually vanish from history?

    With the help of her enemies, apparently. And if there's one thing Egyptologists agree on when it comes to Nefertiti, it's that she had plenty of enemies.
(P.S. Recall fails me. What's the proper term meaning 'first name'?)

Just to show that modern personages can work too:

Finnish composer Sibelius.

(Yes, he had a first name, but plenty of people would recognize the last name alone but have no clue of his first name.)

AARRGH! Red Face

Rather than click "reply" I clicked on "Edit" and accidentally deleted CW's posting. Frown

Sorry about that! I know it was VICTORIA, but did it include a link?
