That's neither Deanna Troi nor 7/9, so who is she?

She got 9 out of 9 from me. (I have more)

It might be quicker to name those who haven't been a disappointment.

These.

Me too. My sister competed against her there.

Which one? The one with the black nose?

I've just watched 'The Cruel Sea' again. I never get tired of it. Understated, simply told, well,paced and based on a great book by Nicholas Monsarrat who is on of the smoothest writers I have ever read. A couple of years ago we spent a day in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I spent a happy couple of hours on HMCS Sackville, the only surviving flower class corvette. How 85 men could have sailed the Atlantic and fought on such a tiny ship is beyond comprehension. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Sackville_(K181)

It's all part of building a loyal following.

There is an apparent lack of activity but whether this is because we are not hearing about it or because there is indeed nothing going on is open to conjecture which indicates to me a missed opportunity. There seems to be a distinct lack of brand promotion, PR, building market share, all that sort of thing. Who's in charge of PR these days? Do we have a press officer?

Not a chance.

Ah, but think what she would look like without them.

I think it was only 5m per boat, or was it £100 per reel? It's an important point though. Wasn't it an article about 'zombie' companies?

Doesn't he have a book to sell? 'Nuff said.

Fair enough, but I think it's a valid point.

Not that dreadful. After the previous 37 games had been played, winning the last one could have been worth a lot of money.

Unbelievable, isn't it. Give us £1418 pounds and don't take more than fifteen minutes over it or we'll fine you again.

Thanks, Monsoon, for letting us know that it's all turned out ok.

So, reason has prevailed again. Great to hear that it has been sorted.

I like our current badge. I'm old and I don't like change for the sake of change.

The site agent should take all reasonable steps to prevent such idiots from such stupid acts. Another question: would anyone do such reckless acts if they didn't film themselves and then stick them on the Internet to say 'ooh look at me, aren't I brave'.?

Did Mallory hang off ledges by his fingertips when he didn't need to?

What difference does it make? The fall won't kill anyone, but hitting the ground will and anything over 10m is probably going to have the same result.

Thanks, that's good to know. Last year I was really peed off having to pay another £2.50 on top of over £1300.

From what I have read there is no £2.50 admin charge for credit or debit cards this time. Can anybody confirm this?

How about an indecent place?
