Morning all.

Sorry I was unable to make the main event last night. My router/modem gave up the ghost at about 4.30 to 5.00 so I was totally buggered.

Looks like it went well even if the best team lost.  ;D

Hopefully, I'll be able to contribute to the next one. Top marks to Loo-Knee for all the hard work in setting the questions.  :y :y
