Apterous is bloody slow today. Every time I clicked "Play Next round", the duel wouldn't respond, which meant I got booted. When I clicked "Accept challenge", it had played the round without the window coming up.

Rhys Benjamin

Oh dear.

4, excluding myself.

I've decided to use Spoilage ratings, then (since most people are on 1533, 1433 or 1333, then I'll have a look at their spoilage games (how do I do that?)

CHANGE IS GOOD!

Remember the good old days of Countdown? Where lexicographers rotated and it was 9 rounds? Well you can forget the FEAR of sleeping during 15-round Countdown! The answer IS here!

I'd enter, but it's not that exciting trying to work out whether a set of letters gives floccinauchinihilipilification as an answer.

You mean by colour or something similar? Yeah, that would work, surprised no one has thought of it before.

no, sort of one box for each cat.

Just to say I'll be a stand-by.

On the back of Kai's tournament online I've had my own idea. I've submitted plans etc, but I'm not so sure...

Rhys Benjamin

I saw a small cutting from the Daily Telegraph about it.

Rhys Benjamin

WOW!

Wow. That was a brilliant race, can't believe Vettel has used all of his 8 engines, it will cost him if he has another engine failure.
Alonso - he just kept it on the road for 2:48:53.815.
Hamilton - Lucky.
Button - Unlucky.
Webber - Oh dear Mark...
