Very well done to that new lad called Wrenfoe.
Agree - let's hope this encourages him for the future. Congrats to everyone wot done well, and thank-you to t-m and his abacus.
Well done to all for some fantastic competitionary, as ever, & welcome new names to the fray!
Well-deserved Wren win for not only impressive points, but a clean sweep across all the sections.
Also to the Throngly number-meister for impressive speed (in a complimentary way...)
& to those getting swiftly off the mark with some quality subs in today ready for October kickoff!
Congrats Wren
Some powerful stuff
And to Throngman...once again going beyond the call of duty
And anyone else who took part
And to Johnson and Trump for their continued support
We couldn't do this without you.
Yes, congrats Wrenfoe
And thanks to Throngsman for putting the time in
Congrats to Wren and thanks to Throngs for mastery of the mutant algorithms. I thought I'd upped my ticker game but Mirthless & Myke? FFS!
Well done Wren, and thanks Throngs!
As dubious a win, as a Conservative donor getting a ventilator contract.
(Thanks, Throngsman)
Three quarters of the way through the year it's worth taking a look at the WOTY progress. I appreciate the list is getting difficult to read because it is now so long but the Big O is still in the lead, but Wren is closing the gap.
Note to self: Must pick up some Novichok next time I'm in Sainsbury's.
Well done Wren. Some crackers there.
Well done TM too - stout work as always.
Well done everyone. We’ve all done very well.
Good work everybody, thanks to throngsman and congratulations to Wrenfoe.
Can we get a VAR check though please? I think the end of his big toe may have been offside a few weeks ago.
Just waiting for someone to protest, claim the result is false due to fake postal votes, and refuse to accept it.
Congrats wren, mug duly taken from the walrus, disinfected, and placed on wren’s head
Thanks to as always
