BTW Lez, did you see the track I put up on the "Follow The Lyrics" thread - especially for you.

Yes, thanks! Much appreciated. Didn’t see it in time to post a follow-up.

[Lez]

Tim M.’s coming up here in October - the enormodrome in Glasgow and 3 dates at the Edinburgh Playhouse. Unfortunately I’d have to stay overnight in Edinburgh and my mobility problems make it all quite difficult.

[Anita]

Sorry. Val just saw your message ,added the difference ,scrolled down and there was the score ,I'll double check that I've added for next week.

[Val]

Tonight's result:

Melbourne Demons (TheFoe) v Essendon Bombers (Val)

[TheFoe]

Listened to the last quarter of the match Val, so frustrating!

[Val]

I was at a gig last night so missed the game. Sounds like it could have gone either way. I'll take a win though - my Bombers have been dire in their first two games.

[Val]

Just watched the last few minutes of the Lions/Port game. The Lions were 3 points behind with 2 minutes to go. But in that 2 mins they scored 3.2 (20 points) - so exciting!

[SussexWelsh]

Well, I can't believe the Eagles managed that! Sorry, Tech old bean. :-D

[suzysunshine7]

YAYYY!!! - Congratulations Val!!! ... x ;o>

And very well-punted Blastro and Anita ... x x

Whew! - I seem to be slowly sliding into a far more comfortable slump down towards the bottom end of the Table. The Dessert Trolley is almost back within my sight (and reach) once again ;o>

[Lez]

You’re welcome to my place, Suzy. I think this must be my worst start ever.

[Anita]

Val
You can't give me the closest margin,I actually put my margin in after the match hard finished ,although I didn't know at the time .I think I'd prefer Blastro got the podium this week.
My SWANS won.

Mine too, i think...3 points! Urggh!

Anyhoo...well done Val..nicely done. I say....i'm liking the Lions roaring start to the season...looks like they might have their claws back! :)

Anita, I thought quite long about it and I wouldn't have given it to you if it had affected the weekly result (that looks bad seeing as I won!). I believe that you entered your margin before you knew the result and I am happy to give another $6 to a charity. I was going to give you a margin of 29 (10 points more than the largest margin of anyone who had tipped the Cats) so hopefully the difference of 28 points won't affect the standings at the end of the year. After all, it's only a bit of fun and I doubt anyone will raise objections.

[Craig White]

i won't have it!!!!! call the cops!!!!

[suzysunshine7]

Ignore him, Anita ... you won!!! - YAYYY!!! ;o>

With little confidence. I found the North/Crows game the toughest to pick.

[Val]

Suzy, thanks you very much for not only getting your own tips in, but for alerting the others as well. I'm sure you must be in a lot of pain, or maybe entirely zonked out on painkillers. Either way, it's not at all pleasant. I hope you can get some well deserved rest in over the coming days.

There's still an hour and a quarter until the bounce so hopefully David and Dean will make it, and I do hope all is well with RedJohn. We didn't see him last week and it's always a bit of a worry when one of our small band goes AWOL. Fingers crossed he's enjoying a spring break somewhere nice.

I'm very late to the party - sorry.
