Ho do we contact the Satirist Watchdog?
If you think you have a valid claim then PM me your bank details - all of them. Do this even if you don't have a claim.Al, apologies - I missed the last ticker, but you are on the leaderboard on the blog. I don't post tickers on the blog as it's a vehicle to drive passing readers to look at NB and posting the tickers doesn't do that.
Crayon, also apologies, an oversight. Probably not the only one, either.
I'll update the spreadsheet that feeds into writer of the year so you won't lose points in that competition. I *think* my PM is finally working again so contributors can PM me mistakes spotted (or just pillory me here - it's not like I give a f&ck).
Why are the month-end results posted under the title "mid month"?
