Bill was the biggest humbugger and won the fiver. Bazza was back on form with a splendid atrabilious effort. I won again - am I on a roll, or is it too early to say? And Chris O'Carroll just missed out. Bad luck Chris. Now for the New Year.
After all that bah-humbuggery, how about an acrostic poem of which the first letter of each line spells HAPPY NEW YEAR. Please email entries, where possible, to
