POW - Prediction of the Week 238

Hindsight - a wonderful thing : prediction of the week for #238:

Pinkies & Paris Paris correctly guessed (?) that ManYoo would not slip up and instead give Roman's hordes the blues - both start with a point on 15th...

Quiky 237 - Rankings

A bit late, but I took the liberty of not doing any work over the holiday weekend... :)

Great expectations?

..well, tough! I'm still not up to much computer / graphs work so we might have fewer pictures than usual.. and still no French music, as I haven't had a chance yet.. (that CD, Hélène, d'you remember? :)

We have reservations for some 35-40 peops so far, meaning we'll be too many for a games round. but I've been thinking about doing a "creativity round".. or some funny caption thingie.. we'll see, might improvise something...

see youse tomorrow, bright and EARLY, or at least on time(ish)....

POW - Prediction of the Week 237

Who is going to win the Snooker World Championship?

Eedjits, Pinkies & French Sausages reckoned it'd be Ronny the Rocket...
