Union Jack

Hoisted by miffy42#2

Top 5 allegiances. 1. miffy42#2 UK ... 2. jules44#1 UK ... 3. mos623#1 USA ... 4. ryaman#8 USA ... 5. Stuhern#3 UK

3/2 for the UK & Co....the fighting has begun again in earnest...

Pengy is pretty impressed at just how many of you have scrabbled your way into the Top 25 Toughies, hotfooting it across the starting line and storming off ahead...but alas, sadly, have since been tackled from behind and ousted.

This is no niggardly achievement getting into the top 25...no matter how short a stay, even just gaining a foothold amongst the exalted Invincibles territory is pretty good work.

Extra special VIP Fave players! Oh yes,....these are the wicked ones who dared to muscle in ....who probably had multiple bruises to lick afterwards...

solan goose UK... poolosopher USA ... Lanadale USA ... teanana UK ...dippo UK ...LauraMcC UK ...LittleShe UK ... onebraincelluk UK ... twosleepy USA ... Wetherby Pond UK ... Chip UK ...and briarwoodrose UK

Magnificent fighting troopers...and oh, poolosopher was bounced out and fought his way back in again.

And oh...by the way...there's a food delivery floating its way to Olympus. Caviar and biscuits I believe, the nibbles are courtesy of Qmel, catbrat63 and MarchHare007. Watch them two MarchHare007 or they'll be subversively slipping something un-performance enhancing into the UK treats. Or is that a red herring? Don't anyone puncture a ballon!

The Titans

Yesterdays top terrificus Titan was poolospher

Top 5 allegiances were...1. poolosopher USA ... 2. flicker123 UK ... 3. Doc UK ... 4. j2cp2 USA ... 5. LauraMcC UK

3/2 for the Uk & Co..this is what I like...consistency and isn't Doc playing terrific? That's two doctors in the blue army, always handy to have when the fighting's so furious. I'm sure sooner or later medical assistance will be needed I mean it didn't take long for the branded USA Invincibles to charge over to the Titan. Homed in on it like a dowsing rod twitching toward water.

Poolosopher is after a second win..a perspicacious pengy can tell these things.

So who's had a foothold in the top 10 Titans and got muscled out? A clap of the flippers from pengy to....who misses nothing...

cubswin2323 USA ... LauraMcC UK ... castortroy USA ...solan goose UK ... onebraincelluk UK and MarchHare007 UK

onebraincelluk has already nipped back in.....and my prophetic ability to predict (or jinx) snappy future Greats tells me LauraMcC and MarchHare007 will be back. But I can see a big fistifight this month between at least half a dozen great players. Extra durable bandages and crutches are already been stockpiled ready in the trenches.

The Mogul

Yesterdays most cunning animal mogul was jules44#1 UK

That's it! Show then how it's done jules! Though to be impartially fair the USA have notched up 2 wins so I reckon it's going to be another tight battle.

The UK nipped in and won this one last month..whilst alas, regrettably losing the war. But this, my UK & Co friends is the Americans Achilles Heel....yes, it's true...they do have one. So get those arrows notched and go for the shins!

(It worked at Agincourt) Indeed..looking at the prickly legs running by you already have! I'm giving one of my not so subtle hints here..Did you spot it? In plain talk...after 5 days it's UK & Co 690 bonus points stashed in their arsenal and USA with 620.

The Survivor

Yesterdays steel sheathed top survivor was miffy42#2 Uk

It's getting frantic in the Pit and rescue attempts are underway to save the captives. Quiz Beagle's tail is going to be stretched thin and long with onebraincelluk and twosleepy climbing up it. twosleepy is out, oh well done.. that'll lighten the load a bit and other tough fighters who've fought free and so are my fave players ..I hope this doesn't evoke the Pengy Kiss of Death...are castortroy USA ..lg549 UK ...trooper2196 Uk ...brokenbody USA ...flicker123 UK

Unfortunately brokenbody truly was ...and is back in and has to do it all over again! And so does castortroy. It's takes backbreaking effort to get free once you're in.

I do admire whee UK and Johnny USA though. Only played 3 days out of 5 and have eluded capture. Tssk..I'll have to do better than this with my harpoon and net won't I. And your first time too Johnny...

Right...time to trot over to the mogul smorgasbond, snatch some veggie lasagne and lay some bait in the Pit. Not for Piranha you understand..he's a carnivore but benefits from a low cholesterol diet.
