Another 13/20 for Butch :P

So does that make you three joint fourth or second?

I've always done it in a way that we would all be joint 2nd. If somebody comes in now with a 12 they would be 5th.

EDIT: Deleted the last message because I was logged into a customers MyFreeola account :S

Ha! That seems to happen a lot with you staffies :) *suspicious look*

Yeah, you're idea about the scoring makes more sense I believe :)

That was pure guess. That lake (almost gave the answer) was the only one I could think of :)

He couldn't work out the answer that I did and I tried to explain it to him. Apparently he thinks my logic is Irish for some reason.

I hate being the edcucated one in the family! :P
