Give us a little insight to your answer, Nickie.

I'm thinking there could be some REALLY obscure and VERY useful answers come out of this. We're rifling through the minds of real experts here. Looking for genius. Admittedly, in some pretty unlikely quarters but I bet there'll be dozens of incredibly useful facts that people expose given half a chance.

I've been completely amazed at how much people know since I joined this club and I'm just trying to work the possibly amusing, possibly trivial, forum to showcase that knowledge.

So, Nick, get serious and be ready to answer some tricky ones

Nil points for purely emotional, not backed up with any concrete facts, answers, Blacky.

Well, if you want to do this properly, it's quite a technical answer. Not very easy to understand after 8 glasses of red, so I think a mere 'insight' would only cause you to crack open that last bottle.

So you'll have to wait 'til day 1 for a proper explanation of this phenomenon!

Did I mention I'm not a patient woman, Nick?

And I haven't actually had 8 glasses ... yet.

This was a v. bad idea. "Wine box" ... what kind of marketing genius thought that up then

And Nick, Skidlids, Shazaam, Nelly et al. Serious answers essential to the ethics of this 'game'.

Hopt to get some Newbies posting. They'll be totally impressed by the awesome knowledge of people on this site.

I shall be operating the 'bump' strategy to keep it in 'today's posts' if it gets a bit stale.

And I am still considering the prize ...

It may have to be something to do with Desmo Due but we'll see.

I'm prepared to put some dosh up for it ... maybe a prepaid trackday, or a 5 year subscription to DSC ...

In the regious of £100 anyway so PAY ATTENTION ... I may be skint now but I used to be rich and I haven't quite got used to the new rules yet :P

Ruth i dont think the prize should be for DEsmo due!!

no offence to guy/gals doing it!


I personally think the prize has already been won anyway

without taking anything away from nelly nbs skids etc etc !

that guy shazzam, who puts his all into his answers deserves a nice DSC plaque sending across the water, for his outstanding contribution

just my opinion...........mav

If I'm donating the prize, I'll decide whether it's been won or not.

I agree, Mav. Shazaam puts HUGE content into his replies. They are almost too detailed. When he gets to grips with a reply there is no stone unturned.

However, I'm the self-appointed judge in this and I shall be 100% objective. In my opinion, at least.
