I did yeah. It certainly helped late posting players last season (especially when Harry Potter suddenly increased). I also posted as late as possible to increase the chances of gaining an accurate weather report. As we know, the summer ratings can be greatly effected if we witness a heatwave/cold spell etc.

I seemed to do better last night, EE was steady and Gok did the business. One of each tonight - (Special) Arsenal is the one to get, (Main) Paul Merton ought be thereabouts, (Backup) Waterloo Road could be up or down.

Good shout, my mistake. My Excel file works out the score with any bonus points in a separate column and I took that from the wrong one.

Charnham

19-10-2011

I appear to have got EE dead on, shame its only a back up, 3 points for Gok Wan I think.

Dancc I confess I have not gotten around to seeing if I could make such a file, but I would still like to see it.

Cats & Dogs is 18:10 - 19:55, but other than that my post is correct

Thank you.

I'm toying with the idea of putting one of them in my schedule.

I figured that was the case, given that I put Toy Story in mine.

Top 5 after 2 easier nights, I think Charnham is much further down there somewhere

- (by position not points I ought say) Whoever gets Arsenal bang on tonight ought go top, we seem to have almost every rating covered from 3.6m-4.8m. Paul Merton from 1.1m-1.8m, so things will change no doubt.

Charnham

19-10-2011

im only two points behind you so its meaningless.

that said my track record with football is mixed at best, however looking back by dumb luck we have the same prediction.
