   Congrats Wren and thanks as ever Throngsman

   Er there may have been a clerical error, though. I managed, through sheer luck, to have 5 FPs in May - 11th 18th 23rd 27th & 30th, I think

    The blog appears to back you up. I'm off out so can't address this until tomorrow. I seem to have some gremlins in my spreadsheet - time to get it up on jacks, I think. Apologies.

    Now that's an idea - it would be more interesting if the runner-up of WOTM had to commit ritual suicide.

    It would also increase your chance of getting your work on the front page.

    Reading the writer's guide might help, too. Just general advice.

    This hasn't been thought through properly - particularly in respect of May's result...

    I think this is more accurate. I'd added a space after the b in the first event of you getting a FP - Excel then autofilled the other four times with a space and I hadn't checked. I think I diddled DE out of a point (now restored) by the same error.

    Thanks TechGuy. You kept poor Wren waiting nearly as long as Prince Charles for his rightful crown.
