£6 goes to M Davey who was the October Manager of the Month with 270 points, closely followed by Jock with 244 and Cameron with 237.

£5 goes to Emily who climbed a massive 82 places in the month, closely followed by M Davey up 77 and Jock again up 76.

Since not a single person finished the month on a multiple of 100 and would therefore have claimed £1 each – for this month I have extended the prizes to those with a multiple of 10 but just 50p each – this means that all these jammy people have opened their account: Quirky, Fitzpatrick, J Cann, Wheeler (D), M Davey, Cameron, Caden Oestrich, Joanne S, James M, Andrew Edwards, A Kyle, Steven Williams, Nicolas Threasher, Tim Littler, Jake Alexander, Jon Griffiths, Nia Williams and Mat James!!!

At the top of the league we still have Luan but Andy G has climbed into second place pushing Anna and Joanne down a slot, whilst Tom Jones is up into 5th followed by Sibley in 6th whilst Michael and Cameron enter the top 10 at the expense of Keivan and Lyons.

Some of the mini battles that are going on look like this:

Marshall vs Edwards is too close to call at 537 vs 527
Lyons vs Brown vs Quirk is also hottening up at 566 vs 471 vs 538
Baber vs Jones vs Radford may be turning into a two horse race with 338 vs 528 vs 535
Scally vs Baker vs Else vs Stafford vs Dack looks like it has seen its first call for a medic with 533 vs 465 vs 553 vs 474 vs 258

We’ll cover some more inter league stories next week.

In addition to the normal prizes, there will also be a couple of fun competitions this month (with prizes) and all you have to do to enter is leave an answer to one or both of these questions on the website…

1) How many points will be scored in the final 5 International rugby games at the end of the month? (The games are France v New Zealand, Ireland v South Africa, Italy v Samoa, Scotland v Argentina, Wales v Australia and obviously all answers need to be submitted before match day which is the 28th!!!)

2) Name one of the items that you think will be in the Yahoo Top 10 Most Searched List on 1st December. Check out www.yahoo.co.uk (top right) to see the kind of things that Paris Hilton loving, Wayne Rooney worshipping, Royal Mail slagging people are looking for.

Ok that’s it for now. Let’s have some lunch.

“From the prehistoric Lascaux cave paintings to the stirring symphonies of Mozart to today’s hot-dog eating competitions and action films with comical gerbils, culture has descended into a festering pool of mass ignorance,” said Yale sociologist Paul Riordan.

The panel said the upcoming nadir will be precipitated by a string of smaller devastating events. Experts predicted that the penultimate catastrophe would occur at approximately 7:15 p.m. Thursday night, when the social networking tool Twitter would be used to communicate a series of ideas so banal they will instantaneously negate the three centuries of the Renaissance.

With this in mind, I’m keeping todays update completely pointless, there will be no mention of which players scored goals, which teams are on fire or who the biggest climbers and fallers are. Let us begin:

Today is Carys’s birthday (9th place), Lyons is wearing a t-shirt with some dude attacking an ironing board with a baseball bat (10th place), Tim (15th place) no longer has a beard, Nathan (33rd place) is currently on the phone, Jock (46th place) is drinking his 4th cup of tea, Jon looks confused, Faye has just left the room, Adrian is enjoying some Flame Grilled Steak crisps, Sam is missing, Leigh is scrolling his mouse, Louise, Emily and Liz are all up to stuff too, and that’s all I can see from my seat here.

…isn’t it?

Last update until I return from what I’m excited to call the “Drink, Eat And Dance For All The Time” session (or DEAD FATT for short) so get ready for a bit of a sing-along…

On the 1st day of Christmas, Ian Crocker said to me, I’ve got 956 points and a 36 point lead….
On the 2nd day of Christmas, Mark and Anna said, watch out Ian, whilst we storm ahead….
On the 3rd day of Christmas, Nic said to Jock, we’re climbing so fast, I think my socks blew off…
On the 4th day of Christmas, Alex said to all, my weekly points rock, so now hear me roar…
On the 5th day of Christmas, Marshall said to Jon, give me a subway, you’re falling like a rock my son…
On the 6th day of Christmas, Lewis sung a tune, up 15 places, now I’m over the moon…
On the 7th day of Christmas, Luan said to Oz, you might be ahead, but remember I’m still the boss…
On the 8th day of Christmas, Lloydy felt insane, as he was down near the bottom, but had a cool team name…
On the 9th day of Christmas, Jack climbed 18 spots, chasing his Dad, all the way to the top…
On the 10th day of Christmas, Millo fell 15, now he wishes, Anna had picked his team…
On the 11th day of Christmas, Kirsty said to Dean, I used to be ahead, this is the most insulting thing I’ve seen…
On the 12th day of Christmas, Sam and Quirk schemed, if we’re going to beat Lyons, we’d better play mean…

Hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Beer Tree

It’s all change this week with Anna storming into 2nd place, Jock into 6th and Alex into 8th.

Andrew F got a monster 102 points this week whilst Mat J put the pedal to the metal up 30 places.

But as it says on the BBC website about Robbie Keane’s current poor performance “…form is temporary – class is permanent…”

The same can also be said about California governor, Anrold Schwarzenegger – who despite proving a popular and successful politician – should really get back to his roots soon – http://io9.com/5081470/arnold-schwarzeneggers-10-greatest-acting-challenges

That said, whether you’re a professional footballer or an airline pilot – everyone has bad days. Here are some quotes taken from air traffic controller recordings…

———————-
Tower: “TWA 2341, for noise abatement turn right 45 Degrees.”
Pilot: “Centre, we are at 35,000 feet. How much noise can we make up here?”
Tower: “Sir, have you ever heard the noise a 747 makes when it hits a 727?”
———————-
Pilot: “DAMN! That was close…”
Tower: “Delta 560, what seems to be the problem?”
Pilot (catching his breath): “Near miss- was he ever close!”
Tower: “Delta 560, how close was it?”
Pilot: “Well, I can tell you one thing, it was a white boy flying it.”
———————-
Tower: “Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on frequency 124.7″
Eastern 702: “Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway.”
Tower: “Continental 635, cleared for takeoff behind Eastern 702, contact Departure on frequency 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?”
Continental 635: “Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern… we’ve already notified our caterers.”
