10th August Shout Box

Stars & Stripes

Hoisted by BB1#3

1. BB1#3 USA...A full USA offensive

2. j2cp2#7 USA...oh yes...had a very good day

3. jules44#1 UK....whew...1 UK demon player

4. ryaman#10 USA....tried to bring jules down...failed.

5. strnog1#3 USA ....hotfooted it ahead of chasing UK troops

4/1 for the USA. And they've romped in first for 6 days...the UK only 3.

Could have just been good luck yesterday...mfc UK...OldSpotPig UK ...satguru UK and burnsbaron UK were closing in for the kill behind.

I rattled the dog tags in my sardine can to pick my fave...and out popped burnsbaron. Been playing in hypermode the last few days and has sneaked back into the Top 25 Toughies.
But Marsalinator...shadowzep and poolosopher for the USA had better watch out. lg549...flicker123...mfc for the UK have banded together and are giving chase.

satguru has twosleepy on his tail....I but I reckon the UK are changing tactics and into hunting down stranded players. Hey twosleepy...Seurat....flopsy and Dr_Gas are coming and coming fast...

The Titans
Yesterdays top Titan was Marsalinator USA

Top 5 allegiances were Marsalinator USA...Qmel USA...Deborah USA...scubascott USA and swotty UK.

4/1 to the USA...and Deborah filched the lead! Right, don them double thick bulletproof vests UK. Drag them bazookas into position. Stuhern is under attack and needs support...yeh...a diversion.

Other terrific UK Titans in the top 10 are flicker123...sparklingwine and greyhunter and they're the nearest to take on the mighty americans. Go for this one first...Marsalinator. He can be notoriously dangerous and is trying to sneak up the table undetected...no way...my radar is infallible you know. This could become more deadly than the O.K Corral..

My fave player had to be a newcomer...swotty...enlisted for the UK and snatched 5th. It's trial by fire here, pengy cheers, hands out the ammo and then pushes everyone into the frontline.

The Mogul

Yesterdays top history mogul was miffy42#2 UK

Well that's good news, a win for the UK. And pengy, moi, would like to share some news with you..no...it's not who's winning the mogul so far, that's tomorrow with the first leaked stats from HQ...I want to keep you all hanging in suspense on that. Bit naughty...might get mobbed...but I can hide in my bombpod.

After 9 days days running the gauntlet 2 of our best moguls have already grabbed 100 bonus points. This is wonderful stuff...I mean how clever is that!

I speak of course in awe of BB1 USA and miffy42#2 UK..

Then again...newcomer swotty nabbed goodies on his first day.

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed winner was j2cp2#7 USA

purelyqing and twosleepy fought their way out of the pit and pushed cat brat63 and Little Heaven in. Nice swop there by the way with 1 UK and 1 USA. Last month the Catering Corpse cat escaped by standing on everyone elses heads. Don't mess with the cat.

Quick peek and pan with my binoculars...ah, Surrealist has climbed the Challenge flagpole...brave boy...but will miffy be able to drag him down by the seat of his pants? Little Heaven is leading the mogul and my, the UK cohorts are doing well bagging goodies so far....it's Movies remember. The UK Titans are doing good patriotic work too with Stu out to grab back his lead...but the americans could still all be lazing in bed. And swotty has braved the Survivor...oh I do so admire feisty players...that's in the pit for you then!

Just reading a wrinkly e-mail gripped greedily in my flipper. I get loads of these begging letters..begging me to go somewhere obscure and pilfer bank accounts and transfer funds. Come on who's trying to bribe me! Just because I'm called pengy arecidivist.

I'm not gonna fall for this.. , I have integrity and honour. So Mrs So & So from Iraq, wealthy widow on death's door dying of cancer whose billionaire husband was a money mogul, now asking nicely for me to unlock 2.5 million U.S dollars laundered and stashed in a secret account ...all I have to say is,....which way do I paddle my ice floe to reach the Ivory Coast? Would a pengy look abit conspicious trying to make a withdrawl from a bank?
