Aaargh, Albert grabbed one of my crunchers whilst I was out and now I have been demoted to 4th

. Aussies are catching us and I seem to have 1100 units pending

Going to have to look behind the sofa for an extra core or two.

Now that the ozzies have noticed and finally decided to put their skates on... we could see if we can sneak up on the jumping amphibians and say boo!
Unfortunately I am one box down as the aforesaid box has to do some "real" work (whatever that is)... the rest of the junkyard is waving it's fist and screaming invective at the ozzies who seam to want to put as much distance between it and them as possible... must have given them a real fright... I suppose I really shouldn't encourage them like that.

Couldn't find any cores hiding behind the sofa

so I stuck my head in the cloud...

, 3rd will be mine again
The aussies are not that far behind us, time to flog those cores to the end.

I think it is going to be a close comp! Calling all cores to the fight!

Got my 3rd back

, going to keep the cloud on for comp, every little helps as they say

Aussies are slowly catching, I think we should hold out. They have obviously called in the reinforcements

Whilst it is a shockingly small margin, we seem to be maintaining the 57k gap. Just about. :)
A little over twelve hours to go on this. Good luck everyone!

54k gap now. Have over 4k pending now and I guess most of us are similar. Think we have pushed their server to it's limit. 8hrs to go, we should make it...

53.2k with 5h20 to go. The Fat Lady's not singing, but she's definitely warming up and it looks like she'll chirp in time.

I'm sure I heard her warming up, either that or it was one of the cats

With less than an hour to go we are still over 50K ahead... looks like the fat lady is on the podium and taking a deep breath!

Her dulcet tones are ringing out. We were first and doubled the points we achieved in the first challenge.
