1. mike32768#2 USA Get yourself glued to that mast!
2. jules44#1 UK Tried...could'nt prise him off
3. miffy42#2 UK You neither? Yanks can be stubborn
4. WorldB#1 USA Diversionary tactics whilst the flag was raised
5. Strnog1#4 USA Found a UK weakspot and nipped in.

3 out of 5 ain't bad. Don't like to say it but our american friends are struggling abit. There...said it...though I have to add so I don't crush their spirits they never say die...after the top 5 we had 6th place...mos623 USA...7th tihata USA...8th Sallyannh a UK interloper....9th Seurat and another....but then 10th Eebs USA who has'nt played too often (shame cos she's talented and could help bigtime)...11th j2cp2 USA...12th Marsalinator USA...
Does this mean one of these are going to be my cherished favourite Challenge player? Nope. I picked 2 again. First I was impressed by judetheobvious...whose turning into a cracking good little player. And teanana...who had a few iffy days...forgiveable this time of year but I reckon is back on form now. Both of them are real assets to the UK contingent. And castortroy...ah...that's 3. Never mind..wanna pick them all so will. For a relative newbie castortroy is settling in quick...is up there and sprinting along with the speedy veterans. Uk you might need to watch this new recruit.

That three-way pillow fight between Howie72...julieanne123 and Strnog1's been resolved. Best biff went to strnog1 who romped off victorous and getting well clear of trouble...with Howie in chase and julieanne123 spitting feathers. And seurat dodged past aswell but gotta hand it to strnog1...that was a clever bit of manouvering.
And the friendly (or not so ...but actually quite serious) inter-team scuffle for the USA ranking...well..cheers to Marsalinator who's already securing his spot at the foot of Mount Olympus and is getting trenched in.
Loads of other private duels to mention too...it's getting tense and ferocious out there now...battle nerves are stretching to breaking point.
Nothing resolved in this one....Canadian_Cousin...bhs63 and Silvertop are still trading punches with no signs of anyone tiring.
I suspect TAR fan USA has beaten Rakka ..and has earmarked his next UK quarry...ganymede who's left his post undefended. Tut..tut.
OnebraincellUK is excelling herself fending off Qmel...hang on in Demelza is on her way!
Romeomikegolf UK did well...holding back muldoonOOOO...and elskede...stayed in her trench...was AWOL...

And the Mogul?
Yesterdays Magic Music Mogul was Stuhern UK

A second win. You're getting good at this are'nt you Stu. That brings your bonus point tally to a thumping 200 now for the UK. Not many Moguls have reached that. My favourite Mogul player ...well it has to be Stu for breaking the dratted 20 sec ...19 secs is a PB. But I'd like to mention j2cp2 aswell...for dedication...for playing the Mogul over x-mas..and been the only american to get in yesterdays top 10. Could'nt help noticing america has suffered over the festivities, less turned up for duty...knew there could be a hiccup...well...the UK have substantially increased their lead...were busy out laying obstacles, tripwires and other fiendish deterrents.

We have a new USA trooper to welcome too. 2 because I think I forgot to give A Big Warm Welcome to castortroy for the USA....sorry, blame the grog...and also to moist1...huh? for the USA. Hey...already noticed moist1 making an impact on the Challenge....very good...

And purelyqing I still don't know where your allegiance lies. If anyone can help me on this let me know otherwise I can't include his/her team points and that's a pity....cos all points are hard worn on these tournaments.

Now.....don't stand me infront of a firing squad UK...I'm unbiased..but I have to send out a Alert:
USA NEEDS MORE PLAYERS. Have'nt done a rollcall but I suspect some are deserting and crawling under the wire undercover of dark...I'm patrolling with my harpoon but they're still managing to escape...and honestly I could'nt bring myself to shoot any of you. So....get recruiting...drag them here from the Sales...enlist your wife/husband....pet dog...bribe them..beat them or offer them the chance of martydom and fame.

Right...I'm off to cheer you all on and beg treats off cat brats63....who is generously providing high calorific battle rations.
