it would be a poor thing indeed if a lurker with a very low contribution rate were to win
and on 17 January 2008 people will say there is no justice in the world
changing the topic completely - i always enjoy your posts Brian- oh and yours too Ric (let's do this bootlicking properly)

After 2 days, I think we are almost exactly at the same gap - 2133 to 2075 or 58.
I'd post weekly updates, but that might help me catch up, so some one else can do it.

Thats OK, if you start posting too fast for my date with a wine I'll have to start a flame war with TORB

Bartenders are supposed to have people skills. Or was it people are supposed to have bartending skills?

I've only caught up by 11 since this started about 2 and a half weeks ago, 56 more to catch up. I'll be away for the next 10 days, get your calculators out.
I think Ric should set a cut-off date for guesses.

Hi all,
since the latest date posted thus far is the 5th of march next year and that Torb has pulled away a little just lately. My big quess will be Anzac Day 25th April 2008.
Can I ask is if no one quess's right without it going past their date is it the one closest to that date who wins?
And can I ask what bottle are we playing for?
