Hoisted by mos623#1

Top 5 allegiances...1. mos623#1 USA ...2. miffy42#2 UK ...3. ryaman#8 USA...4. whee#5 UK ...5. shadowzep#10 USA

3/2 for the USA..the little devils. They're fighting fit...and dangerous...and I've had a peep at HQ. I'm a happy pengy. If you're american you'll be happy too because you're winning on the Challenge. Why? Because you're better, tougher, faster and cleverer. By how much? Not a lot. A smidgin. If this was a mince pie you'd have 56% of the chewy fruit and rind bits. UK & Co only get 44% of the sugary stuff on the top. Heck I was wrong...that is ALOT! That's a 12% lead...UK & Co put away the rum and brandy butter and sauces and other tasties. USA...YOU ARE better, tougher, faster and cleverer.

The Titans
Yesterdays top terrificus titan was StuHern

Top 5 allegiances...1. StuHern UK ...2. flicker123 UK ...3. Deborah USA ...4. Qmel USA ...5. briarwoodrose UK

Two wins a row for Stu wasn't enough to snatch back the lead. Deborah was up there in third ....but...this means Stu is only 1 point behind. 1 point. Wow. This I like. Just a min whilst I swizzle my neck around to the battlefield for a look see...oh dear. My beak stays zipped.
So which fab team is winning?...This is my fave battleground this one. It's always so closely fought and full of shocks. Right.
If this were a christmas cracker....and you both pulled ...BANG!
The wickedly clever USA troops got the half with the little gift inside with 54%. That's pretty convincingly fought and almost as good as the Challenge battle. With only 46% of the points up for grabs the UK & Co get the funny hat and joke inside the cracker.
My my, this is not good ....would the USA team consider taking a day off?

The Mogul
Yesterdays super trooper magic movie mogul was jules44#1 UK

Oh I say...well done jules. And well done Deborah for moving upto the grand position of best USA mogul this month. Bet shadowzep will want that honour back. Now...the blue team is in big trouble aren't they?
The red team can stop smiling...the UK snipers have found your Achilles Heel. They are remorseless. They are beating you into the snow drifts. If this was a snowman....I hope you don't mind this imaginative drivel....if this was a snowman/woman (have to be PC correct thesedays)...the USA would have the head with the carroty nose with 47% of the snowy stuff. The UK have the body with a very comfy 53%.
Well done to the moguls from the little island and it's fab commonwealth allies! This mammoth effort and bulging sack of bonus points has almost pulled you back from the brink of impending disaster..

The Survivor
Yesterdays steel plated top survivor was miffy42#2 UK

This is interesting. More! Pengy is intrigued this month...I have to say whee is catching my beady little eye. Is WorldB going to be prised off his throne I wonder? Can whee do it? Yesterday piranha came for his snack and we said a fond farewell to shadowzep#10 USA ...julieanne123#5 USA ... Alien8 USA ...sparklingwine#10 UK ...demurechicky#4 UK ...bernie73 USA

And 4 of you mouthwatering little appetizers were Invincibles! This leaves 20 survivors who've bravely reached the Final Frontier. You are safe for awhile. Piranha likes a rest between courses.
HQ stats inform that the UK team have most snowballs stashed in their igloo ammo dump . In plain english (this coincidentally translates to the same in american english)..the UK have 54% of the yuletide log....and the USA only have 46%.

So..what does this mean, concisely put?
The Challenge...USA are leading so far. ( USA 56% - UK & Co 44%)
The Titans...USA are leading so far. (USA 54% - UK & Co 46%)
The Mogul...UK & Co are leading so far. (UK & co 53% - USA 47%)
The Survivor...Uk & Co are leading so far. (UK & Co 54% - USA 46%)

Pengy observation = UK need to get fighting furiously on the Challenge.
USA need to get fighting furiously on the Survivor.
Two battles each is nice. How fair can it get?..It's nearly christmas...
Except it's my job to tot them all up to see who's overall leader (this is war so we have to have one!)....it's the USA. Barak's Army!
But not by much...oh no, USA = 50.7% and UK & Co = 49.3%.
Don't ever underate fractions...
