This weeks. 17th -> 24th, I _think_, but I've been teaching this week so my
brains are slightly fried.

I can`t believe I got in the top 10, but then it is only with 11 arts, so
thats not too bad. I suppose. Elvis was in pos 14, which is pretty good, I
think. March has been ill, and so the top slot was won by Drew, with a pretty
paltry score.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to congrat Alex & Kim, as well. I`m
suitably impressed ;) I`m just somewhat disappointed that March didn`t take
his laptop & transcribe the proceedings onto the web :-P

Annnnyway. Here's this weeks collection of spods/spodlings.

Total No. different posters (including Se1m@n, who changed his newsreader half-
way through this week, ergo generating 2 different name/email formats): 113. A
bit low, perhaps, but never mind.

Pos. Arts Lines who?

YES! CHAMPION! First time ever!

What a close result as well - that last-minute of extra time when I
slipped in those two posts from close range made all the difference,
Brian, but we're going to take each post as it comes, not get carried
away by this, after all, once you're the champion you're there to be
beaten, Brian, but I'd just like to dedicate this to Clare, Mum & Dad,
Leeds University's computing service, the Politics department who are
probably paying for this, Nelson Mandela, Little Jimmy Osmond, that
bloke who does the Mr. Muscle ads, Mike Scott of the Waterboys, not to
mention all my support<GUNSHOT>

Actaully, it's the taxpayers required to subsidize Leeds University and the

I think I know what life is like in the real world, I don't watch
much tv at all, certainly none of the programs you mentioned. My
garden is full of sheep at the moment, they do the weeding.

How long did it take you to train them? Are you paying them a proper
wage? I tried to train my chickens but they found it difficult to hold
the fork and stand up at the same time. :-)

Actually I fit it in between doing my thesis on the Meaning of Life
(tm) and never watch any of the abovementioned programs, at all. Happy
now?

Not a problem for *my* sheep as they only have the choice of docks,
thistles, dandies, dog dirt and white goods in my garden anyway.

I thought the list of programmes was all about TMOL. But getting back to
the *real* meaning of life thingy. I like the bit where John Cleese gets
attacked by a man with a bannana, or was it an apricot?

Why are you doing a thesis on it anyway, Doctor? No point in having a
double barreled Dr. Get a job instead.

And another thing if you want to learn about life in Yorkshire, you
should be doing your thesis in Hull. Most Hullions experience a lifetime
of life in one weekend - you could speed up your research - not bother
getting a job and retire.

Could we have a change in the rules so that discussions *about* the
league tables don't count? This may give us "minor" the occasional
chance of glory :) It's difficult enough not being in GOC :) (I really
will have to come home and visit my Mum more often.)

Just a thought.......

It was a banana, but that wasn't "The Meaning of Life", it was "And Now

Talking of theses, if your attempt is deemed inadequate to merit
a doctorate you can get an MPhil instead. I think they should let you
become a Nurse instead.

Hey, you do patronising really well March. Been practising?

Don't listen to him Claire. You can be a nerd if you want. You'll have
to do better than u.l.y though to be a real full blown one.
