31st January Shout Box


Union Jack
Hoisted by miffy42#2

1. miffy42#2 UK ... My you're clocking up the wins now
2. mike32768#5 USA... A yank General muscling in
3. tihata#3 USA...and another...
4. mos623#1 USA...they come in threes.
5. jules44#1 UK....even the champ got blitzed

Getting good..getting interesting....a late show of strength from the USA...
When the going gets tough..the tough get going and all that.
Can't help but notice that this months Daily Dervish award..that's to say who swiped most wins could be a close run thing. Already have jules44 and midgetmark tied on 6 wins each. Now...if miffy can just nab another win today...yikes...we'd have a three-way tie. No worry...that's when I get to rattle my abacus in high tech arbitraton mode. Technology does'nt faze me!
My favourite Challenge player was purelyqing...romped in 7th and pushed beyond the pain barier to hit a PB. To think too he was incognito when he/she first arrived...playing cagey..undercover...allegiance unknown and suspected of been a mercenary. So well done purelyqing.
I reckon there's loads of players getting nicely warmed up for next battle...waiting in the wings to storm in. A word here about the big guns...

Winners Names engraved in the Hall of Flame read....

Oct. 2007 mos623 (runner-up jules44)
Nov 2007 jules44 (runner-up miffy42)
Dec 2007 jules44 (runner-up miffy42)...

Jan 2008 has gotta be jules44, no one can catch our jules now.
Observation: Will match mos623's record of 3 unbroken wins. Now that is noteworthy.
So will February see the american fighting back?
Or will this months runner-up miffy42....charge in and wrestle for the crown to add to his collection? Or will attack come from a new quarter...loads of fab troopers roaming the battlefield.

And the Mogul?
Yesterdays Sci-Tech Mogul was miffy42....UK

What a busy little guy...brimming with talent and a hyperactive mouse.
Mogul Maximus...of yester wars reads...
Sept 2007 miffy42 (runner-up mike32768)
Oct 2007 miffy42 (runner-up strnog1)
Nov 2007 miffy42 (runner-up jules44)
Dec 2007 miffy42 (runner-up jules44)

Now nothing is a dead cert this month...yep..you guessed...miffy is clinging to his throne...but with the narrowest of leads...25 points....cor...will he be able to fend off jules44 or will he finally be deposed? This one is going to go right down to the wire.
Will jules get a double on the Challenge and the Mogul? Will unconquerable miffy be conquered? Or...come next month will they just agree amicably to swop titles for a change. Will the americans let this go on? Or are the SWAT team aligning themselves ready now? This kinda of logistics keeps me lying wake at night...brain busily engaged...wishing I was a fly on the wall at american HQ.

Just had a sneaky peek over the parapet...gee...what happened to strnog1 on the Challenge...2541 seconds is an amazing speed record. A UK ambush? A dodgy broadband hiccup?
I must say Pix is playing well on both quizzes. Pix is one of the Unmentionables who I think is destined for future fame here...along with others whose names will remain unspoken....for now....whose day will come. I have a habit of jinxing things so no names will be uttered. Just coded initials.
P. Q. A. M. H. E. l. W. J. C. S. T
Right now I've got you wondering I'm off....going to sit on the sidelines and watch the Grand Finale...and give you all a big hug as you cross the line today to show my appreciation for all your effort and team spirit.
