Predictocomp table 2018-19

[griff]

Piglet. Sit down. It may come as quite a shock, but there's no such person as Santa Claus. People have been lying to you all these years. It follows that there's no such thing as Santa's workshop and, even if there was, it wouldn't be in the Adirondacks. No point.

Scores this week between 3 and 8 with an average of 5.2, so few surprises. Well done to Howoldboy, Pete and Psaw with 8s. Crusha, Southblue and AussieBranch scraped 3s. Biggest movers were AussieBranch who dropped three spots to 9th; I managed to rise three to 9th. Gards didn't show up again. If he makes a resolution and returns in the New Year then fine, If he doesn't I'll take him off the table.

Check everything as usual. Meanwhile, have a great Christmas and terrific New Year. I hope that all your wishes are fulfilled in 2019. This tarradiddle will continue as usual as there are games next Saturday, so if you rise from your drunken slumbers at any point DON'T FORGET TO ENTER.

Laters.

Really Piglet? Is Ethiopia anything like Barrow? Lake Tana is a bit remote, though Dek Island is quite cute, what with the ruins and all, but I was looking for Walney Island so no point.

What a daft week. I picked the games so that there were a good few (apparently) nailed on homes and aways and what happened? Seven draws, that's what happened. I was looking for scores of at least 9 and only Gaz got it with the top total of 10. He might have got more if he's bothered to forecast more than one score in Group B. I was on my way to Carlisle so didn't notice in time to tell him. Shame.

Buc managed to get nowt, which was bad news for the gimps; Acido, Barbles and Gards. Acido and Buc are down a huge 5 places as a result while good scoring from Alf and Gaz puts them up 5. Gards will drop off next week if he doesn't enter as he's been missing for weeks. I'll put him back if he returns.

At the top, Howoldboy was average again and Pete is now only 2 points away in second place. HE'S BEHIND YOU. Oh yes he is. If Mullen and Piglet don't look out they'll be back in the pack where 9 of us are split by only 6 points. All to play for.

1 Howoldboy..........(4) 145

4 Piglet..................(3) 134

After week 23:

Sheffield Piglet? The Devonshire Arms in Dore? A pale imitation, surely, so no point.

Average this week was 5.2, hardly setting the world on fire, but there’s a few changes to the table. Chalky top-scored with 8 but stays exactly where he was. Piglet only managed 2 and, er, also stays where he was in 4th. Dropping back into the pack though Piglet so careful. AussieBranch, Gaz and NZBlue all got 7 so remain in bed together, but are up to 6th. Careful Gaz, you’re in an antipodean sandwich. I’m down 2 and Alf’s down 3 to 9th.

I’ve taken Gards off this week as he hasn’t been spotted on any of the boards for weeks. He can go back on if he returns. Barbles is in the gimp-suit for the second week running - anyone seen him?
