15th July Shout Box

Union Jack
Hoisted by jules44#2

1. jules44#2 UK...the first of the UK stampede
2. lg549 UK...That's it...lob them bombs...
3. Little Heaven UK....lay banana skins on the course
4. Surrealist USA...A lone ranger got through!
5. miffy42#3 UK...how did he skid past miffy?

That was a pretty conclusive message from the UK team...definitely a warning shot across the bows. Trying to frighten the USA team is a good ploy....has it undermined their morale? Not a bit. Cat brat is fiercely rallyung the troops

My fave Challenge player was thereds4ver..nipped in 6th valiantly defending miffy's rear from snapping american jaws. I do admire troopers , like thereds who despite only sprinting hotfoot across the battlefield 4 times is at an impressive 36th. There are other worthies ...take Eebs, only played 9 and still in 5th...and mos623 in 16th after a measly 6 games. Yes, he's coming and no one will be acussed of cowardice for diving out of his way. Then there's Seurat in a healthy 33rd after only running the gauntlet 6 times. I have a niggling suspicion they are the owners of bionic legs or brains or both.
Tomorrow I think I'll rifle HQ and find out who's our Top Mop so far this month....I am betting now that the first intial of this devilish whirlwind is an M...or an S.


The Titans
Top Titan yesterday was Qmel

Top 5 terrific troops to race across the line were Qmel USA...Marsalinator USA...Scubascott USA...noticed a pattern yet?...poolosopher USA and MarchHare007 UK...
4/1 to the USA! Well I say, that restores order after the UK riot on the Challenge.
Battle for the lead is been hotly fought between 2 americans. Truly this is worth watching in itself. ...with an added quirk...both might only have this chance to nab the crown before becoming great fearsome Invincibles. And Marsalinator is back...but oooer he'll have to go faster than the speed of light to catch them...and battle through a whole gaggle of flippin good players. Marsalinator was my fave player yesterday...he's bad news for the UK team but ...whey hey...what a courageous lot , I do believe they're fighting back.

The Mogul
Yesterdays smartest geography mogul was Maggie#4 UK

My Maggie...I 'm a big fan of Maggie.A very very good consistent player...
Picking yesterdays fave Mogul has me stumped...liked too many of you...chucked all the dogtags in a sardine can..rattled it...No good, seems too whimsical and unfair.
I'm gonna sing the praises of all of you...you're my fab moguls...
Maggie..bernie73...Marsalinator (yep again, he's a talented guy)...
Wilberforce Dumblebum and hilltopper67.

But the big news today ...did'nt sleep last night waiting for piranha's magic abacus to spit out the knockout stats.

The Last Human Standing
Yesterdays winner was Qmel USA.

Oh my poor friends....my prisoners.....you've been knocked out but bagged bonus points for your teams so it was not all in vain. Three cheers for the fallen heroes/heroines....and a hug from me.

K.O Round Two
KO2. lg549 UK ...105 pts
KO2. twosleepy USA ...105 pts
KO2. polaris UK ...105 pts
KO2. onebraincelluk UK ...105 pts
KO2. purelyqing UK ...105 pts
KO2. solan_goose UK ...75 pts
KO2. Marsalinator USA ...50 pts

Since this monumental toughest of the tough battle began 11 UK & Co players and 6 USA players have vanished into the pit.
We have 25 survivors remaining....well done for getting this far...but I'm already loading my harpoon...and laying landmines ready to catch another batch of you in a weeks time.

Which brings me to the end of todays chatter...except for one thing. I have my fave players as you know, but...every now and then one exceptional player performs awesomely...and stuns pengy, moi, into gobsmacked silence.

I speak..whisper .... the name, Qmel
Won both the Titans and the Last Human Standing yesterday...and..is current Titan leader.
Cor. Wow.
