Гндйks Wrenfoe, but my mojo has faltered as lots of great posts fly past. I may have to ask my sports pharmacist for some cough mixture. Good luck everyone. I'll donate a small bottle of perfume to the winner.

Congratulations, Chipchase!
And thank you, t-m, for all the work.
Great work Chip and thanks to Throngsman for this labour of love.
I don't mean to criticise but, having got quite excited at getting into double figures for the first time, I notice that my poppies left alert has got lost in the ether somewhere. Adding that in still leaves me miles behind the leading contributors gives me another 22 points, right?
Well done Chipchase! A worthy winner.
Thanks to Throngsman for compiling and to everyone who took part.
Congrats Chipchase,
Mug removed from wren and installed on your head.
Thanks as always to throngsman
Well done Chip!! And thanks again to throngsman - in rural Wales with no signal. Now strongly suspect you're a serial killer.
Good work Chippy
And big thanks to Throngsman for all the hard work compiling this stuff
Good to see he survived Wales...some voodoo cult worship nonsense apparently
Congratz to Chip again, loved the AC/DC Krankies piece who could ever forget the
heart rendering tearjerker of 'Who Really Am I'...Brill'
Thanks again to Throngsman for putting it all together in difficult conditions
out in the wilds of rural North Wales.
Could you kindly recheck my tickers as perhaps lack of signals has caused several
of my FP tickers from this week being omitted from true position on leader board.
thanks.
Many thanks one and all.
I'm dedicating this win to the Tories - without whom we'd nearly all be out of a job ideas.
Some great stuff from many contributors this month and great to see more new (and some older) faces too.
As ever thanks to TM for his excellent spreadsheetery, keeping-tabbery and for holding it all together.
Gratz, Mr Chips
I suspect there could be a few omissions from the last week, but I don't think it will have affected the overall winner status. I'll try to recheck but I haven't captured any of November's batch yet so that's my WOTM priority, next to finalising my new novel which needs to be ready for mid month. Apologies for any I've missed.
Many congrats CC. Some great work published.
Thanks to Throngsman for the admin and good luck for the book.
