This bag holding Rummicub tiles has been used every day for nigh on 8 years by Mr A and myself as we play our nightly game. We shake it up then dip our hands in to get out the tiles, but now, as you see, the bag has become transparent and cannot be used. So we are in a quandary, for no other bag can be found that offers the right depth, the right feel, plus two little rope handles. We're making do with a small metal wine cooler that chaffs our wrists as we dip our hands in and, before very long, we'll be bleeding all over the carpet.

I'm not usually a competitive person - if a rival beats me at some sort of game it pleases me to see them so happy: But Rummicubs with Mr A is different. I have to try to beat him. And he has to beat me. So night after night we play on regardless of the danger. So, if Hennessy or anyone else has the right kind of bag please let me know and our nightly battle will continue with undamaged wrists. As it is, there is a danger that if we lose too much blood we'll pass out and the people who find us will believe we've slashed our wrists and been party to a joint suicide pact!!
