Was going to say that so I will go 8, just to be contrary. Hope that we are both wrong and we continue along the trajectory that has started, under MT. I do watch but on TV but I’d make an exception should we find our season extended and get to Wemberleh |

This time I'll go for a Vyvyan 11... 10 for me. Do not lean out of the window. I wonder why? Those were probably the best times of my life, funny really as we had Thatcher and jobs were difficult to get but the comedy output was fantastic. I can actually remember our own gang of 4, going to the job centre and there was a sign which said no jobs today. We did not even have enough, between 4 of us for a jar of coffee which we would share at the one person who had his own pad. We turned around and all walked in different directions, like in some biblical story and yet I can now see the humour in that period. Sorry to digress but sometimes all it takes is a memory to bring back these kind of things. We did actually take Edwina Curries advice, at least I think it was her who said the unemployed should go on long walks and eat berries , Lord it really wasn’t funny at that time though |

Shhhhhhh.... don't tell anyone, but 14points is a slight red herring and very difficult to exactly achieve exactly on the button exactly with 5 matches!
It is however, a good prediction to bisect 13pts and 15pts and thus spread your bet!
That's strategy, that is ...

How is it strategy to bisect thirteen and fifteen with a number impossible to achieve, this losing to CabbagePatchBlues if it's thirteen or to rowdenhill if it's fifteen? Perhaps someone wishes to declare themselves innumerate, alongside CabbagePatchBlues's mad optimism and rowdenhill's outright insanity. 1.

Strategy to come second.
There's nothing wrong with that, ask your partners...

The Gas Guzzler hive mind thinks ten: mean 9.8, median 10, mode 10; placing me one point to the pessimist, which seems a sensible place to perch. What's a 'capricorn', o2o2bo2ba? |

Nice stats, lucky duck!
I think Capricorn is a goaty thing representing the astrological star sign that takes up the bulk of the month of January..
Caprine is genus name for goats.
Goats provide a very positive contribution to mankind and mother earth....they eat and scour the land of greenery keeping it shaved, you can harvest and use their byproducts and they can even be used as guard animals.
All good in the hood.
As opposed to Capricorn One...

Zut, for me the tournament is over.
For January.
But my hopes are unbroken.
And my dreams unshattered.
Rhapsody in blue.

UPDATE:
1/5
=0 POINTS.
- - - - - 0points- - - - -
6. TaiwanGas
7. o2o2bo2ba
8. chelt_gas.
8. kingswood Polak.
9. shoveler.
9. southdevongas.
10. Blue Mist.
10. eppinggas
10. JeffNZ
10. Mrs V Smegma.
10. warehamgas.
11. Bamber Gashead.
11. Cheshiregas.
13. cabbagepatchblues.
15. rowdenhill
First game down and already we lose previous winner rowdenhill, which is a shame, as I'm sure we were all rooting for another remarkable win?
No one in driving seat.
We can only hope for a a Cheshire Bamber cabbage Inbetweener, but after today's showing, oldie last month prediction looks favourite and premature..
A week's rest and competition resume after Norwich...hold fast, it's going to be a bumpy month.
