D'OH! This is what happens when I want to clear my in-tray before getting on with completing a draft adventure for next
year's UK Gen Con (Missing Fish - folks wot played it at UKGC this year will by now be groaning - it's DONE)!

D'OH (again)

Right. OK. Lessee...

Kevin reckons: "Karabar means business in Hindu."

Your freind reckons: "it is 'Eh Bapar'."

Hmm.

'Karabar' sounds a lot like a bazzaar, or a place actually within India. 'Eh Bapar' sounds like it could actually mean
something. Kevin, I'm sorry, but I think, on balance, that I'm going to go with 'Eh Bapar'.

Just as well there wasn't a prize, innit?!
