2= @Sterlo 88 (Non mover)

...but then the killer blow, as @Dec66 passed 100...

1 @Dec66 101 (Non mover)

...but the better news is that @guitarpete247 and @Arrowfoot passed 50. And @Domus became "Grimpeur De La Semaine", rising five places to seventh this week.

There were 48 participants this week... sadly, three less than last week.

In happier news, though, the mean average was 4.6, and the median and mode averages were both 5.

And their tune?

[classic33]

@Random Monkey, a question if I may...
If I'm down minus three, doesn't that mean I've moved up?

@C R tried this on with Tommy Vance. It didn't end well.

 

[T4tomo]

...but then the killer blow, as @Dec66 passed 100...

I swear he gets 8 or 9 out of 7 some weeks

 

[Random Monkey]

11 maximums and 4 sixes.

I hate him.

I thought, with a story like that, it would be “Up the Junction”

 

[twentysix by twentyfive]

It's a fix. It must be. I did really really well with a 6 this week and yet I'm down 8. It's a fix

 

[Grant Fondo]

The raised bat fully appreciated by the crowd @Dec66

That's because your score got missed off. My bad.

You are actually up 3 on last week, from 28 to 25.

I'll get Jimmy Savile to fix it for you... Oh, hang on...

AAAGH - think I may have forgotten to do the last one or two

The raised bat fully appreciated by the crowd @Dec66

But not by the commentator, apparently...

Maybe you could miss off a few more (like all those above me)
