I appreciate you have to wrap it up BBM2 but with aristo only 1 behind and 2 votes outstanding it feels a bit of a hollow victory (especially as I really rate aristo's) but thanks for all the votes and the mentions.
... and me, too. I should've put 'starts' in mine@17, but used 'start' for a smoother surface. Either way, that's the least subtle word to use, whereas dj's use of 'heads' was particularly good.
Congratulations to the gracious winner, The Ginger One. Thanks to bigbad for officiating, to ab, ginge, and les for the votes, and to stevea, pigale, fiery, skyewalker, and dorrien for the kind mentions.
