Note: As I will be away next weekend and won't have any internet access, am unable to run the contest but will resume in a fortnight's time for the last two week's.

With everyone, well the 4 of us left anyway, firing every week, looks like I'll be finishing 4th in this. No comp next week & I'm away the following 2 weeks, the land of the long white snowboard beckons. So good luck with the final couple of weeks & thanks to La Mer for running it, as it has been quite enjoyable. Hopefully somebody has profited from our combined losers.
