I try to leave closing the contest until the Thursday has passed pretty much everywhere, so your timing was absolutely fine.

kindest regards,

I read them all anyway, but I gotta say I got even more of a kick out of this one, since it was my theme. Some real corkers in there.

Good luck one and all.
