   Chip and Tony are slugging it out at the top, while Wren and I are just having a friendly battle. As usual all the links are on the blogblogblog.

   Shouldn't I be in there with a hat tip, or should I get used to being excluded?

   Tonymc81 has had a stormer of a month, but as he's the current holder of the virtual mug he can't be WOTM second month on the bounce, thanks to the Wren rule. Consequently Wren wins this month, thanks to the - er - Wren rule. Full results with links on the blog

    If at any time I should ever find myself in the lead (God help us all!) I would of course immediately ask the Queen / his majesty John O'Farrell / Our Masters to prorogue NewsBiscuit until the end of that month. And just hope my fellow contributors didn't then set Spiderwoman onto me.

    Many thanks Throngman. I'm happy to give the mug back after having it for a month. The chip was already in it, when I was given it. Honest.

    On an entirely technical note, the fourth of my tickets above was definitely not mine, while one that was is also listed under Al Opecia, though this might just be a simple copy/paste error.

    More likely a sinister attempt by me to subvert the whole world of satire reporting. Or the duty editor inadvertently picked the wrong name from the drop down list. If I spot a ticker or sub as being inadvertently applied to another person I change it. Looks like I missed it.
