Stars & Stripes

Hoisted by mos623#1

And pengy hopes everyone is having a nice relaxing break over the holiday.

Top 5 allegiances...1. mos623#1 USA ... 2. jules44#1 UK ... 3. miffy42 UK...4. Deborah#4 USA ... 5. Qmel USA

3/2 for the USA. I say mos is demonically clever isn't he? For the last four days the Union Jack has flown proudly from the mast..and just when a blog is due he storms in and wins. What magnificent timing...

And well done to Qmel for scampering in amongst those Invincibles in the top 5 but this is no ordinary mortal, this is an ex- Titanasaurus Rex champ..the first ever champ!....And miffy42 was in there aswell....and what can I say....come on miffy! The UK army needs you! Wind up that little key in your back and get motorized.

And wow ..it's already time to raid HQ...see who is winning so far and who is getting pummelled into submission. Don't forget the UK army have to restore national honour and pride after last months battering. Can they do it? Can they rein in these rebels from across the Atlantic!

What about on the first battlefield? The Challenge..

In a word? No.

Oops sorry blue army..was that a tad blunt without warning? It's cos I'm all excited..the bad news just trips off my lips. Digest this...USA so far have 57.5% of the chocolate easter bunny...and UK, you only have 42.5%. Sadly this must mean they have the head and ears and you have the bobtail and paws...I mean it's a fairly impressive lead. Well done America!

Hint: Enjoy it whilst it lasts.

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus Titan was miffy42 UK

Top 5 allegiances...1. miffy42 UK ... 2. Qmel USA ... 3. dippo UK ...4. swotty UK .....5. flicker123 UK.....

4/1 for the UK! Wait! I'll just scamper across the cindering , cratered battleground and catch dippo! A daring Invincible!

Swotty and flicker123 move up one place...and MarchHare007 now bounds home in 5th!

Well that's a bit of luck..still 4/1 for the UK & Co. Welcome back to swotty too....and aswell as notching up three wins in a row miffy42 has stolen the lead from Stu who's left his trench undefended over the Easter break. The lead is still safely in UK hands.

Are the UK fairing better on the Titan in the larger scheme of things warfare?

In a word. YES!

Eat your hearts out american Titans...last month you crucified the blue army and hung them out to dry...now they're back! The UK & Co so far have ...not a massive lead....51.3% of the chocolate easter bunny. America has 48.7%. This is close hand to hand fighting where the fittest, meanest and most mercernary will win!

Expecting a walkover again this month you devilish americans?

Think again.

The Moguls
Yesterdays most magnificent movie mogul was jules44 UK

Ah....this the closest fought battle. This is the one like tug-of-war....first one army winning ..then the other. Last time I peeped UK were leading by a mere 50 points! That's a fib..I looked last night ..and my little heart missed a beat...the USA had grabbed the lead..by 10 points. I tossed and turned all night and this morning it had become 40.

When will this nailbiting struggle end? I blame new recruit Johnny...an american...he's limboed neatly under the guillotine 6 times and won 6o points.

Velcro his legs UK! Do something fast. A 40 point lead in convoluted mystifying military doubletalk is USA = 1780 pts = 50.5%...don't forget that half a percent..it will sound vastly bigger soon....UK & Co = 1740 = 49.5%.

Still with me? Good. The USA are winning the mogul so far.

The Survivor
Yesterdays steel sheathed survivor was jules44#1 UK

Oh..I'm cheering for jules this month...I'm sure WorldB has glued himself to his throne.

HQ team stats so far? I will say this slowly......y..i...k...e..s!

USA you are trailing...quite badly...oh alright...terribly. Rejoice UK for you are back on form!

* discreet cough as reminder.....the Danger Zone is full of UK victims...the next round could see an american phoenix rising from the ashes.....*

But right now the UK & Co is leading with a fantastic 55%..and the snoozing phoenix has 45%.

So what does this mean? A minute whilst I cogitate and rattle my brain into some cohesive wordage.

Each army is leading in 2 battles. Nice. How fair can it get?

Mash the stats together and we have an overall leader so far.....USA 50.4%....UK & Co 49.6%.

I'm thinking...pengy observation is...0.8 of 1%. And if I'd rattled my abacus a mere one day earlier instead of scoffing easter eggs I suspect I'd be waving a blue flag not a red one! Think of it this way....a measly 0.8% lead for the USA is ....oh, only about 30 mogul bonus points.

Cor.

Recall all troops on easter leave. If they're reluctant...drag them by their heels.

Wonder which army will drag back it's troops fastest?
