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)

I love cooking with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

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 :twisted:

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?
