(dramatic pause)

First of all, check out the 6 Types of Hug… I am sure we all know at least one person who is a big fan of “The Crusher”!!!

Or if handshaking is more your thing, then you’ll definitely enjoy this link to the 9 Types of Handshake, and will undoubtedly recognise such moves as the “The Hipster”!!!

As for the fantasy football update, there’s a good two weeks of points in this update, but even so it was an impressive display from Carys who gained 205 points and climbed 3 more crucial places into 6th spot, and from Ksenia who delivered 206 points, up 3 and now sitting just outside the top 10. Tom “Badger Claw” Jones made some late but tactical transfers and has become our new number 1 spot person, whilst transfers from Dan and Steve couldn’t compete with this weeks high flyers, slipping slightly down the top 10 leaderboard. Lyonsy now has two teams in the top 20, whilst Millo saw his team jump 5 places into 15th, but it was a fortnight to forget for Stacey who managed to pick up minus points. Rhodri, Angus, Baker, Mystery Girl and Jon Eds all rose over 20 places each but as we know, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction – this time in the form of Rhodri. Louise, Chris, Matt and Emily.

Easter is on the way – the only time it’s acceptable to surprise someone with an egg.

27 days to Christmas!!! Don’t panic!!! Breath deeply and remember that Christmas is fun – it’s about eating so much turkey your sides hurt or watching The Princess Bride for the 100th time on Boxing Day or simply about kicking back, putting on some Dean Martin carols and chilling before it all starts again in 2009…

With that in mind, there are a few teams out there who could use the Festive period to take stock…

Sunderland fell to their 3rd consecutive loss against West Ham, whilst Blackburn saw Spurs make it no win in 8 games, Arsenal continue to see their title challenge turn to dust as Man City gave them a 3 nil whooping, whilst Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool were all held to nil all draws with whilst West Brom have now taken just 1 point from the last 21 after a loss to Stoke.

In our League, “It’ll All End In Tears, Again” has stolen the top spot, whilst Stacey and Anna continue the ladies assault on the top 10 – both up 2 places. The “One Lungs Chicken Legged Klaimers” continue their fall, whilst Rhodri, Keivan and Emily all see good rises in the top 20 but with “O’Sheas Sharpshooters” clocking the biggest rise up 25 places.

If case you were wondering – and why wouldn’t you – about the origin of the word Christmas – it originated as a compound meaning “Christ’s mass”. More interestingly, in early Greek versions of the New Testament, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ – so since the mid-16th century Χ has been used as an abbreviation for Christ. Hence, Xmas is often used as an abbreviation for Christmas.

Today’s lesson was brought to you by the number 27 and the letter X…

Have a great weekend people.

Well another month draws to a close in spooky Halloween fashion with a screamer of an 8 goal feast last night between Tottenham and Arsenal. From watching the Spurs fans dancing in the stands you would have been forgiven for thinking they had all just simulatenously found winning lottery tickets – either that or decided now was the most opportune time to test their massive new boy-band dance routine. Who can say – either way you wouldn’t have thought they were celebrating letting in 4 more goals – but such is the beauty of football. Come on ‘arry…

This month see’s a massive win for Cheggers who takes not only the highest points prize but also the highest position climber too. Up 271 points and 72 places – it’s well deserved – although there was close contention from Rhodri E (268 points), Nick S (265 points), Stacey B (69 places), Connor C (69 places) and Kevin A (65 places). Well done to all.

In the lucky dip section, this months jammy so-and-so’s are: “I spent far too much time on this”, “I aint afraid of no Ghosty” and “The B Team”. Congratulations on the fluke.

Meanwhile, this months biggest faller prize goes to “Morsey’s Marvels” who fell 72 places – but who, it should be said, is still sitting in a very respectable 86th position.

There is still one more day to go on the 2 Fun Competitions – so get over to here and here to add your entries. You’ve got to be in it to win it. Next months competitions will be a little different and will be announced imminently.

There is also just one more day to get any transfers in.

Hope everyone’s got something interesting planned for Halloween.

Michael Jackson’s already got his mask ready…
