In that case the rules similarity is a mystery - I had connected you firmly to Aberdeen in my head for some reason, I hadn't realized that you only moved there recently. I would have tried to get in contact again when we were visiting last week - though somehow we managed to avoid going into Aberdeen at all while we were there.

And that sounds exactly like our common room - card games and the continuing stereo war of metal versus pop. I was never much good at Spit, people could usually deal themselves to completion by the time I'd picked up my first card.
