Union Jack

Hoisted by jules44#1

Top 5 allegiances 1. jules44#1 UK ... 2. whee UK ... 3. Deborah#3 USA... 4. miffy42#2 UK ... 5. Stuhern#3 UK

4/1 for the UK & Co...and if it hadn't been for Deborah..well, what I can say? Better luck today hey my American friends. My fave player is mfc UK..what a tigerish little player , only played for 3 days but is playing oh so well this month.

Pengy's waving to a new player too...hello there helmar for the UK! I'm sorry, apologies USA,...I'm rabbiting on and not giving you much of a mention am I.

Time to redress the balance!

We've played 10 days..well you brave troopers have..and I've raided HQ , as I do, to see how the battle's shaping up.

I am pleased to announce in my best American accent...the USA have taken a convincing lead! Yes! Hang your heads in shame UK.... load your weapons and get out there and chase after them. They're doing it again! If points were a pie the devilish red army would have 56% of the pie and that's a massive big chunk compared to 44% of the crumbs for the Uk & Co.

Shell shocked? Want me say it again? No can do....get busy or face humiliating defeat UK.

Can the Titans do better?

The Titans
Yesterdays top terrificus was LauraMcC UK

Top 5 allegiances 1. LauraMcC UK ... 2. j2cp2 USA ... 3. dippo UK ... 4. scubascott USA ... 5. Doc UK

Oh well done, terrific, LauraMcC for a fine first win and for leading the UK & Co to a 3/2 win. This makes you my fave player aswell....that much coveted mention everyone hates to have because it so often evokes the Pengy Kiss of Death.

Now...I confess to having had a wee shock this morning. Remember the UK beat the USA Titans last month? They trampled on them and hung them out to dry?

Well get your fire extinguishers at the ready UK..for the phoenix is rising from the ashes....the USA have..I hate to say this...perhaps I ought to scuttle for cover?

Clemency clemency...I'm only the cute little messenger. USA have 56% so far and UK & Co only have 44%. What a shock that is!

Did you notice it's exactly the same as the Challenge?

This of course is only shocking news if you're in the blue army.

The Mogul

Yesterdays top fab movie mogul was jules44#1 UK

Another daily win in the bag for jules44...but there is more devastating news for the Moguls. No more treats? Cat brat's computer has died! Will Qmel come to the rescue and take over the catering corps? Better make it a high protein diet too..because, yes you've guessed that was one of Pengy's obscure little hints. Whew UK..you do live dangerously. I had you hung , drawn and quartered (Union Jack body bags stacked ready) but you haven't surrendered the fight. Not at all. The USA have bagged a measly 112o bonus goodies in the arsenal , mere grenades compared to the missile stashed by the UK & Co..that's 1430 points in plain human talk. Or USA = 44% and UK & Co = 56%.

Strange coincidence..56 and 44 again. Perhaps it'd be worth having this as my lotto numbers this week? (Pengy does not endorse irreverent gambling.)

So...back to battle talk. Poor USA.

Or is it?

The Survivor

Yesterdays top steel sheathed survivor was miffy42#2 UK

Ah...that was all four battles won by four great UK & Co troopers yesterday. Well 3 actually..one of the jules was a clone. There's 4 Americans in the Pit and 4 UK & Co. And as catbrat is one of them..I'll get her marinaded ready for KO2. Every bit of misfortune helps the UK. who've got a lot of catching up to do.

So back to HQ. And if it's 56 and 44 again I'm definitley buying a lotto ticket..

Right..here goes.....USA = 975 pts. UK & Co = 1190 pts.

UK are leading...the abacus spits this out in %...USA = 45%

Ah.

UK & Co = 55%.

This is nice. Can't get more razor edge than this! Four battles with both armies leading in 2 each. I can only just slide a kipper bone between you....the USA have a teensy, weensy lead overall. A nose. A whisker.

Uk & Co get daubing that woad....all is not lost! Far from it! I think you've got them on the run! Or...soon will have!
