... hardly any mention of Brexit
Sorry? What is this 'Brexit' of which you speak?
I don't appear on the blog, and today's ticker doesn't count? :-(
I'll look into it. You may be entitled to compensation through the satirist watchdog
And my NIB ain't "on the blog" neither. Jesus F Christ, man, as if PPI weren't pain enough.
Ho do we contact the Satirist Watchdog? I have multiple complaints, not the least being that I should be ranked above the NewsBiscuit Editorial Team.
Have you been given a one-star rating which was not your fault?
Have you been involved in a PPI (Pathetic Post being Ignored) scandal?
You may be eligible for compensation. [Like you may win the lottery, but it's unlikely.] Contact TitusScam Enterprises NOW for details of our no-win-no-fee-no-compensation-no-comebacks-just-give-us-all-your-money-you-gullible-twat scam scheme.
Fuck off, Titus. I'm not as stupid as my NewsBiscuit contributions would make me seem.
Why are the month-end results posted under the title "mid month"?
Congrats Wren and apepper very close behind.
thanks throngsman
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"?senior moment, I guess.
Thanks to the Throngsman and congratulations to Wren.
Well done all! Another good month.
The mug was stuck on the m3 last night but has now reached wren
Congrats wren and everyone.
Thanks to tm as always
Congratz to Wren as they say the table does'nt lie, also a great challenge by Apepper,
plus thanks to Throngsman bringing it all together who also finished amongst the medals.
Nice work Wren and very well played, sir.
Well done too to Throngster (look at my down-with-the-kids-shtick) for tabulating and spreadsheeting like a good 'un as always.
as they say the table does'nt lie
Satire if ever I saw it.
as they say the table does'nt lie
PM me your bank details
I sent you my bank account details together with my barrister's summary of my claim, but your cheque bounced.
Thanks Throngs - top drawer as per.
