Let's see - Clearly the photographic evidence there reveals that irritants placed in or around the ear of the second place getter by parties connected to the winner were responsible for M Ličvre's surprising Loss of Pace over the final stages. |

Meanwhile, deep in a secret bunker in Köln, Ollie practises and waits... (Love the talk bubble in the second-last frame, hh ) The talk bubbles through the entire story are quite entertaining. I was looking at my own position on the leaderboard this morning. I think I'm lying somewhere around 14th with only John W, Reiner and Tommo standing between me and George's no 10 spot. It may not be much but it's something towards which one can work... |
