Pretty okay last night, BC down a million too much though!!

re the 9.00am cut off Fudd.... if ratings released 9.30am, someone could post 9.25am then revise to 9.55am... I know we all very honest here but it saves any suspicions...ie that person may have not even seen the ratings thread and score highly.....e.g.post until 9.00am - revise until 9.29am is fine....

That's why I changed it originally but it caught people out. I'll have a think about how to do it from next week onwards.

There might not be an update until Thursday due to commitments.
