Hoisted by mos623

1. mos623 USA It's the human missile!
2. strnog1#3 USA No...there's 2 of them
3. Wetherby Pond UK Well Done for hanging in there!
4. Maggie#3 UK Got a bit ferocious
5. mfc UK Hi there....what a fab PB

It all got a bit fast and furious and I nearly went cross-eyed watching you all whizzing around the battlefield. So many things to mention! Well...I have heaps of fave Challenge heroes/heroines. .....
Mos623 put in an appearance..warned you about him and wouldn't you know I should go into the prophecy business. He won, but will he come back? And yesterday also saw miffy42 and midgetmark hurdling the trenches...does this mean the M's are back?
But you have to admire Wetherby Pond for a sizzling 3rd. Snatched a topspot early in the day and that's always dangerous....tempting Fate to snatch it from your grasp. But no...he hung on in there like a real trooper.
Then mfc fought a path to the flagpole too and came home in 5th with a pretty impressive PB. Unranked...like Wetherby...I know...it's hard to believe it when they're so good.
Then there was ryanknight...another USA reservist who returned and parachuted straight in at 7th.
Am I paranoid...or are you all reinforcing your armies ready for a big confrontation next month?

And the Mogul?
Yesterdays canny People Mogul was midgetmark#1 UK

Yes...another M is back and on the warpath. My fave Mogul was...well I cheered like mad for him ...Dr Gas that is. Grabbed bonus goodies...he's good at that but yesterday was special after the day before when he limped home in 2584. Could be some kind of record there...me...I'm wondering if an american accidentally left some ravioli on the course? Might have skidded...that's my theory anyway.
Lying basking on my sun lounger I'm having a wicked thought...
Next month...June...makes for a whole years battles.

And this means for the whole war....
4 Battle wins for the USA
6 Battle wins for the UK & Co

UK haven't won since March though and the USA are making a great comeback.
May Battle? .....Hah....secret info still at HQ waiting for the last days results.
But imagine if the americans have won?...Shock horror for the UK & Co!
That'd be a 6/5 lead for the UK & Co with only one month left to make a yearly campaign. This could be tight, terrifying and great fun ( for me).
Bet you were way ahead of me there...that's because I drivel and ramble on.
And what's more...cat brat's treat sounds yummy today...fishy shrimp.
This all makes for one happy penguin.
That's me sorted for the day...unremitting idleness. I'm a devotee of Energy Conservation...tomorrow is number crunching time!
