It's Crowning Champs Day
Forget those horrible old wooden thrones with splinters. Getting speared
could hurt our revered champs.

So pengy's been shopping and invested in some electronic luxury massage chairs...so they can unwind and ease their aches and pains...and well, look a little like a dalek! But with panache and flair..nothing tacky or tawdry here.

Challenge Champ....will jules44 come on up and test out her new throne. Sink into that lovely upholstery, can you feel the inbuilt massage function?...But don't mess with any of the gizmos or switches ..or you could rocket off Olympus faster than a malfunctioning missile.

Pengy is perusing the manual...translated from chinese...still reads like chinese to me.

Mogul Maximus....will ...oh...right, it's jules. So will you jules44 gracefully and effortlessly wriggle over to your next hi-tech throne. What's that thing sticking up on the right arm for?
Titanasaurus Rex...will, wait just a minute....will everyone cheer riotously here for julieanne123 as she comes to claim her crown. Well done julieanne...it was a tough battle for a while. Ryaman was in the running but you snatched victory and now you're an Invincible...aw, and there's more inspiring news. A whole host of dangerous USA Titans also become ineligible this month. Know what this means? There's going to be an undefended crown up for grabs for anyone brave enough to fight over it.
Sole Survivor.....will WorldB wave to his fans and please come on up and take his throne. He's good at this. Out of the 5 battles fought he's won 3 of them so far.

Next beneficiaries of pengy's munificence get a pengy hug...aw.

These are the daily dervishes who won most days..who scampered up them greasy flagpoles and repelled all attempts to dislodge them.

The Challenge ....jules44 with 11 wins...

The Titans ....scubscott with 9 wins.

The Mogul ...miffy42 with 9 wins.

The Sole Survivor...miffy42 with 7 wins.

Well done scubascott..and for becoming an Invincible too. Extra hugs for you...I confess I feel a sense of kinship with you. Both of us being wetsuit wearers.

Invincibles

The partying on the UK & Co ledge of Olympus was noisy..I suspect the whole UK army gatecrashed...and why not? After a drought they won!

UK & Co..fear them for they are Great!

Stuhern and Squisher parachuted out....and what patriotism..Stu immediately romped off over to the Titan battlefield. I like to call these pengy's Branded Invincibles...I tattoo them wherever I can as they run past. Congratulations to magijoh1 and sparklingwine who took up residence...could be wrong but I'm sure they've lived on Olympus before.

USA Invincibles..fear these more now..for they have a mammoth task ahead of them. Leading Obama's Army back to victory.

BB1...Surrealist and PDAZ...well, vanished some time ago. Abducted? Deserted? Taken some leave? But anyway, julieanne123..scubascott and ryaman didn't waste the chance to become national heroes/heroines and claim their perches on the lofty heights. That's it...the missing Invincibles got blown off in a strong gust of wind!

Now to the bit that pengy likes best....MOPS. My little proteges who I cheer madly for. Who were our Most Outstanding Players? Who improved their rank..

Top Mop or fondly known as pengys fave....markswood...come on up and have a pengy hug AND a super , ultimate luxury throne. Is it big enough for two?

So many of you have done so well pengy is chuffed...and a little humbled.You're all so clever. If your name isn't here...ah, you either haven't played long enough on the Challenge or oops...you slid down the rankings and need a higher protein diet.

PS. pengy would just like to express speechless wonder at shadowzep's cracking start on the Mogul yesterday. .I did wonder what the smell of burn was.

Time for some serious refereeing now..so I'll sling this usual chinese manual in the kipper bone bin and get too it smartish.
