## Notable moments

* The first rule of Board Game Club is "one day, when the tonguing is done we'll take our leave and go."
* Who will be *loudly singing Rule Britannia* and who will be *solemnly whistling La Marseillaise*?
* We do love a pirate accent (however much that wanders) and this one also has French, extraordinary British and slightly strange Dutch accents to go with it. Although, are we doing French accents or are we doing Teri impressions? Teri seems amused.
* Yaaaaah-d sales? That's a deep cut.
* Singalonga NRB: 'Singing in the Rain' 'The Good Ship Laurie-pops' and a couple of hum-along Marseillaises.
* Sullivan's luck is a bit off today. Oh wait ... it's **very** off today.
* Hard truths are more palatable in a comedy accent. Adam to Jon: "I'd like you to reveal something about yourself when I'm not revealing anything about mine." Jon: "What a great deal!"
* We're rinsing the Spanish.
* Nobody likes the cuts of anyone else's jib today. Adam claims his is nice.
* Sullivan is pinning his colours to Laurie's mast. Jon's suffering because of it, although Sullivan claims it's random. Jon points out all he's done is rob the Spanish, which we all agree is a good thing.
* Sullivan spends the entirety of this episode's Talking Heads getting more and more posh and chinless. It's a fascinating transformation. I think he actually becomes Michael Palin in *Life of Brian* at one point.
* Tilly and Adam have been promoted, but it's not all good news. Laurie: "You've got one of those promotions that didn't come with a raise - 'Someone's just left, can you do their job *as well*?'"
* NRB revenge is often served piping hot.
* When faced with a couple of choices including 'screw Adam over', will any member of our cast *ever* go with the other option? Maybe one day. But not this day.
* Jon's logic is logical. But he hadn't reckoned with Adam (possibly accidentally) creating a monster.
* Adam and Sullivan accuse each other of being French, for a while. Jon says Laurie is "as French as a leg of frog!"
* Laurie is allegedly driving his boat with his headphones in, eating raclette.
* Tilly is a giant who brings ruin to the island of Tortuga. And not just the island.
* Sullivan is now a remarkably land-locked pirate.
* One of our teams finds each other, which means we can work out the others by process of elimination. Victory is starting to look pretty much inevitable.
* The French have the best people. Except the Parisians.
* Teri spot! Audio Teri spot! Hi Teri!
