Hoisted by miffy42#2

1. miffy42#2 UK Did you sprint before or after x-mas dinner?

2. jules44#1 UK This is dedication par excellence!

3. WorldB#1 USA Not to be outdone...a yank arrived.

4. MaggieG#4 UK But MaggieG stopped an onslaught

5. BB1 USA Hiya....and well done!

Christmas does'nt stop the greatest and the most dedicated from playing....thanks for making the time....or it could be ..some of you thought...no one...just no one was going to nick points a gratis from a deserted post. But's that war for you....

My favourite Challenge player had to be purelyqing....romped in with a PB..but could you please tell me your allegiance or I won't be able to include the points you've won...or I could put them up for grabs to the highest bidder. Could be we have a mercernary in our midst...open to blandishments and bribes. ...playing it cool...

Two things I'll mention today.

First...I've been peeking at the rankings...nearly Judgement Day again, and does'nt it come around quick? If placings stay as they are these are gonna be the new Top 10 Invincibles for each side.

UK & Co Fearsome And Fab

Three New Great Ones could be moving into residence on Mount Olympus

1. jules44#1 looks set to keep top spot.

2. miffy42#2 will hang on to next Fearsome Ace

3. midgetmark#5 ....could climb up 2 places! Hang on in there!

4 MaggieG#4 will hang on. Been ranked every month you know.

5. Mink ...will get her ranking back...and well deserved too.

6. Howie72#3 ...aw...demoted..unfair!...but still an Olympian

7. Seurat ...Great Stuff..wanna see you up there in the dizzy heights

8. vivtriv#10 Promoted and earned it too...some marvellous play.

9. Sallyannh#9 No eviction for you either if you can hang on.

10. Stuhern . Don't dare have a day off Stu...

USA Fearsome And Fab

Two new Invincibles could be moving onto Mount Olympus.

1. mos623#3 Same for you too...don't go AWOL. Regain your top spot!

2. WorldB#1 It'll be tough to dislodge mos...

3. tihata#6 Go...go...go... this is an impressive promotion.

4. mike32768#2 Oops...but still a fearsome Olympian.

5. strnog1#4 No surprise here...always in top dogs spot

6. julieanne123#8 Promotion on the cards...Congrats

7. j2cp2#9 Another promotion. Hang on in there.

8. Eebs#5 Oops...a little demotion...but not picking...still top 10

9. ryanknight . Right...grip with all your steely strength...hang on

10. Triviaballer . Same advice...don't budge or backslide.

Hope I have'nt got you all nervous and anxious now...no pressure really.

There could be one or two hungry contenders behind you....Hard to say when the standard of play is so high if anyone could catch and upset the pecking order but these are the nearest and most threatening....

nakarinna for the USA, QueenMary for the UK, Marsalinator needs no introduction...but USA, and magijoh1 for the UK who is facing eviction as is nakarinna. Don't like to stir it but there's personal ego's at stake here aswell as the team event.Does'nt it wring your heart to see friends eyeing each other predatorily. Imagine how I feel everytime I log on and it says in bold print...you have not earned any points yet and thus you do not yet have a rank.

And the Mogul?

Yesterdays Cunning Animal Mogul was paper aeroplane UK

This I like...paper aeroplane is a pretty sharp operator. Was'nt even a PB either so still had some in reserve. My favourite Mogul was shadowzep...another real gritty fighter I often have my beady eye on. Hit a PB yesterday...a matched PB...it's proving to be an elusive bubble to burst. I could'nt help but notice BB1 aswell....have to be another fave Mogul...hit a PB...Have you noticed in her profile...Middle Eastern Belly Dancer....hmn...bet that made all you guys sit up straighter.And before you go wild pasting and clicking her link to her site...it don't work.Heck...

Oh and yesterday for my own perverse pleasure I said we were having a little Christmas Footie match...both quizzes...no points...just rowdy clean fun.

Well..

The Challenge Footie Match final score was 12 goals to the UK & Co...7 goals to the USA. Purelyqing stuck one in the back of the net but I don't know who he/she is playing for so the referee..me..disallowed it.

UK won Challenge Christmas Footie Match...and both sides scorers were..
