Beginning to think that there are elements of old school tie and nepotism here
If Stroudy wins it, despite being the Quizmater, you can really start asking questions.

The clocks haven't even changed yet.
I humbly beg to differ. The fecking exeweb clock seems to change time on every log in.

Love the EAC, me. (bangshead)

AMENDED ODDS

2/1 Swanny
3/1 Lionel, Spoonz
8/1 Greyhound, HH12, STURTZ, Oman, Elgy, A2K, TerryHall
10/1 contrabombarde
12/1 Avening Posse, sumner7
16/1 RedPaul
22/1 Freddie, feverpitch
25/1 Mr Jan Yeo, RaeUK
50/1 Jason H, any clown apart from MDC

The market is now beginning to take shape. Bookie intelligence undermined by the disappearance of Elgy's scoreboard 2014 and Lionel's failure to post a final board 2016.

Beginning to think that there are elements of old school tie and nepotism here...I have had several correct answers here previously including arguably the most difficult one ever (Baedeker raids) and as per last year don’t even make the odds. Fix and farce. B-) (n)
My head started to throb when I read that. (bangshead)

It is not the old school tie you need to worry about. What you need is to know who is in the NC [tap]

POLITE QUESTIONS FOR STROUDY

Unlike the parsimonious Lionel, have you engaged the services of a PA/GA ?

Have you had a man flu jab ?

We need to remember the kerfuffle caused by these omissions yesteryear.

Now safely converted to HF68
Amended odds and apologies for not pricing up those ACQ veterans Mr Dozen and STURTZ. :$
I am delighted to be in amongst the frontrunners many thanks for the adjustment but not so much of the Veteran if you please ;)

Never done this before
have you engaged the services of a PA/GA ?
No but I have the full support of my local Men's Group, having discussed it at Opening Circle and confirmed at the closing Group Hug (y)

Have you had a man flu jab ?
Yes I reckon that's what made me ill much of October, culminating in the birthday gummy eyes last week. Should have stuck to the Echinacea.

Lionel's failure to post a final board 2016.
My one piece of advice to Stroudy is don’t bother with a fancy leaderboard. It very quickly becomes a right chore.
