/me waves to Ghost as he passes by.
Unfortunately, I have to leave early today, due to a scheduled replacement of a power transformer, so I cant score yer post for ya just yet. Perhaps one of the other VB players will oblige ya.
Until next week, then ... a half for you & felon, and a point for moi, will put us back into a tie for 2nd (behind Aunf).

p.s. I promise to make at least one or two VB posts this week ... last week was a bit hectic.

Good job Ghost
And good job as well to Felon, for forcing a tie in VB, despite 4000+ words on my part

then surely you should order the equal players by some other criterion, otherwise you are unable escape the original liberal sorting

Point for Ghost for correctly guessing Crowded House wrote 'Weather with You' (and for not being a kiwi/aussie - me slaps myself upside the head - ask Ghost why!
