Mid month point and technically Wren is leading. But technically he isn't because of that darned Wren rule! Tonymc81 is the guy to watch out for, with Dom not far behind. Links to all the subs on the blog, as usual.

Thanks throngsman! I'm chuffed to have some points. I thought I'd stopped being funny in 2017.

It's possible to win points without being funny. I should know.
Thanks throngsman! I'm chuffed to have some points. I thought I'd stopped being funny in 2017.
Are we supposed to welcome you back with open arms and reply to that by saying that you’ve always been funny? After you swanned off, probably into the arms of others for all we know, for all that time? There’s words for girls like you, carrying on behind our backs, copping off with other suitors at the slightest opportunity. I think we should go round there and smash their faces in. And as for you, you’ve got a lot of being funny to catch up on if you are to be accepted around here again.
(Welcome back with open arms really)
... leave it, Middo, it ain't wurf it ...
This thread is funnier than the subs
HAHA it’s like I never left! (I definitely haven’t cheated on NB, MD) Thanks also for your feedback Dece, the world would be boring if everyone found the same stuff funny.
Sorry Kate, I wasn't referring to your sub - I actually meant most subs!
Welcome back, btw
Ohhh whoops! I did wonder after I replied actually, but then just concluded that you’d felt personally attacked by the one about the bar snacks. :-)
Techically Wren wins again, but also technically Wren falls foul of the Wren rule. So our new champ is Tonymc81 who has had a storming month. All the FP, NiB, and LA links on the blog, ticker list below.

Face... is this face bovvahd? Well Is it? Suck it up. :-)
Well done Tony great month and really loved the M. Francois one in particular.
Well done all contributors and of course, in particular the Throngster, for catching everything in his Net of Writeryness.
Well done Tony (and Wren, hoisted by his own petard again!).
Thanks to Throngsman for all the hard maths stuff...
...and everyone for taking part.
Congrats tony and wren - Mug ceremoniously prorogued and the queen popped in to reopen it on Tony's head.
I think it's fair to say there are no winners on NB....only losers.
Congrats to everyone who took part....and also congrats to those that didn't.
marvellous.
Yes, a special thanks to those that didn't.
Well Done Tony Mc..Wren might want to have a look at that rule again?...and Thanks to Throngsman without whom all this would not be possible.
