I see I am not the only one who remembers Paul Jennings of the Observer (and many other places). Amazon are trying to get £20 for second-hand copies of "The Jenguin Pennings", so I was delighted to find the complete article on Resistentialism online. I'm off to look for "How to Spiel Halma" now. Cheers!
