On how many days in the championships will there be rain? (50 points if correct):



P.S If you have bothered to do all of that and have entered - thanks a lot :)just trying to get the new forum going....

Well, I thought I'd do okay but I didn't expect to win.

Cheers for running this. A football one might be interesting.

There were 3 days with rain I think. I needed rain on either the Saturday or the Sunday to get my 4 day prediction right.

FINAL SCORES

Grandprix 187
Machie 177
Jamie 175
CF 114
Shrimper 44

P.S Congratulations to GP - Well Done.

P.P.S I'll probably try and run something like this for the football next season if people are up for it?

Woo! I actually beat someone :-D

Well, lately not much. I've been going out with a few friends, we also saw PoC2 and I thought it was very poor. Too stupid for my liking.

I've also been heading into town and getting my tux fitted :-D my prom is in 5 days now. And for some, rather annoying, reason I've started getting nervous! Probably because my date wants me dance... Oh my.

Now for the bonus points....

Yeah thanks :)

Concert tonight was me playing rather than going to see one. Still cool though. Went to see Billy Joel on Monday - that was a amazing. Gay Pirate Epic was obviously Pirates of the Caribbean - was ok, so obviously written as the second and least important part of a trilogy - which made it seem stupid - but twas still good light hearted fun.

I might do the calculations now. What you been up to?

Ah, living the good life...

Enjoy it all. :-)

Yes but so many things to do so little time. Concert monday. Gay pirate Epic wednesday. Concert tonight. Wimbledon calculations tomorrow probably.

It's later already! :P

I'll sort out final scores later.

Well, it seems I have the most points going into the bonus points.

That'll probably be where I lose it. :)
