It's a tough competition. For writers of your calibre to be evicted so soon says a lot about the strength of the competitors here - it's a shame to see you both go, but I guess someone had to.

'...it has reawakened my desire to write, which has to be a good thing'

It makes it all worthwhile, David.

Dear Mr Angelo,

Re: Chapel Ceiling Refurb - VO2

Pursuant to clause 40.1 of the General Conditions of Contract, you are direct to vary the Works as below:

(a) Paint the eastern fresco without using paint. Or indeed a wall. You shall write the eastern fresco (in Helvetica 9pt) and deliver the completed work to Signore Raphael Sanzio of Comune di Urbino. A paint-by-numbers scheme will not be acceptable.

Measurement & Payment
Schedule of rates apply (cl. 40.5). Record resources not used in order that the magnitude of saving can be determined.

Yours,

Alexander Borgia
Pontifex Maximus

Splendid.

So what's the deal with the scores, then? Are we all back to square one?

I'm off for to France for a week, so no more posts from me till I get back.

*blows away the cobwebs that have gathered on the plush red sofa*

Blimey, quiet in here innit?

Did we ever interview David and LL about their amaaaazing journey?

Posts 239 and 240, although for a proper interview Q&A session we'd need a fluffy interviewer-type.

I'm not sure that I'm going to be able to come up with a rational entry for the next Stretcher challenge.


The that lurks in the back of my mind is screaming to be let out.

Let it out, let it out - it'll be interesting!

Brilliant Entries one and all to the photojournalism challenge - .

Hmm, am I going to be hauled away by a security guard if I continue hanging around here?

No but you'll have to take your chances with my toy yorkie...

Ms GB

*looks at the yorkie*

Hmm, I think I'll just...

*takes a high perch*

*Shih Tzu wags his tail at David B and growls at Yorkie*

Is one of you out to narrow down the competition? I appear to have been put on Premod without warning! As I'd already got half my Entry written directly on-site, this is making things a little tricky, particularly as nothing is going to get sorted out over the weekend, when I do most of my writing

Is it just me, or is anyone else having problems..?

Oh, now that's bizarre... My postings are appearing straight away; it's just my Guide Entries that are being pre-modded

It's a conspiracy, I tell you

It's the bug:

F47996?thread=6412365

F48000?thread=6434982

is another one. There are more threads, spread all over hootoo.

Thanks, Bel - glad to know I haven't inadvertently been naughty..!

Oh, but you're in the best company hootoo has to offer:

TRiG, Alex Ashman, Icy North and even Ms GB.
