The results of the McGonagall Competition can be found on the appropriate thread. Congratulations to Bill Greenwell who has a well-deserved top spot. You will note that the prize money has been increased in the last few weeks to £30 or £5 for Bill. That will not quite make up for the spectacular slide in the pound. What you want, my friends, are Australian dollars. They are the international currency of choice. It's probably down to that nice Mr Rudd, eh?
Now to this week's competition. A goodie I say.
