Sorry Jimmy, I'm packing for my holiday so I didn't have time to give this the attention it deserved. Well done though, you're doing great, Steve Davis played a blinder today etc etc.
Can someone cover next week while I'm not here please? My dad may be too busy this time since he'll be looking after my spawn

One thing I noticed - in round 4 Susie suggested MANIOC as an alternative 6, which isn't mentioned. Have a good holiday Jon - going anywhere nice?
