The cut is +4 so if your selection scored worse than this I'm afraid he's out.

Typically timely and efficient, thanks Vince.

By my calculations, I am leading in at least 3 categories.

Note that tikay is ahead of Big_D which I'm sure is a first in any competition that I have run and may be a first in anything.

Nice to give him some hope

We can fix this by Sunday though, right Vince?

If it were required I am easily bought.
I'm confident that it won't be required though.

I'm sure that your South Wales Orphans charity is more deserving than tikay's Henley Mallard sanctuary.
