Worked for about 6 weeks, until it was replaced by pensions.<br /><br />Jan & Steven_L: trouble with a 'first' is people come in and out at different times. some enter by email, some by twitter. Its difficult enough remembering to enter at all, let alone a race to type the answers up too. <br />Plus... A study of all data by the office of data study concluded that the early birds actually do worse as many a juicy news story or even a war or a currency collapse takes place on a Thursday teatime.<br /><br />Timbo- If someone lists 6 they have 6 out of 5 chances. Those who list 5 just 5 out of five. <br />It prevents the hard choices about whether "Whitey wants to keep me down" or "HS2 is a waste of sleepers."<br /> <br />With 6 you could pitch both. <br />If dawdler Dimbleby does actually ask 6 ..we all gain an extra free guess.Bill Quango MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861116614665461655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-88835756832162821142012-01-10T16:58:45.994+00:002012-01-10T16:58:45.994+00:00Elbows his way in...
