This sometimes involved walking through snake invested jungles in Cambodia, attempting to connect with ancient equipment in Laos, extending the closing time in Vietnam even though the police were hanging around outside and a host of other bizarre and troublesome stories of hardship and perseverance.
Now, by some quirk of fortune, having been so far behind after 10 games, I have somehow managed to claw my way back beyond respectability and at last reside at the very summit of Mount Prediction. Imagine my surprise and excitement at this feat of pure luck.
However, instead of enjoying a massive celebratory masturbation over the screen with my name in green at the very zenith of performance, all I get is
_
Nothing.
No table at all and yet another week of predictions - and what are the odds that the 2 points I have somehow managed to glean over some of the most annoyingly competent predictors in the entire football league will be frittered away in return to basic form, returning me to the grim realisation that my incredibly lucky streak has at last come to its natural end.
Over the years I have witnessed others have their time of glory at the top of the table. Some enjoyed long spells, others just fleeting forays, but I hoped that one day my it might be my turn and I would be able to bask in the warm sunshine like they had. This dream has now been cruelly denied and the fantasy suppressed and killed.
In light of this I now intend to go on a long sulk and post only numbers and mathematical notations (which will allow me to predict but disengage with the emotionally damaging interaction), the moment of triumph being ruined. I could have lived off this for years, photocopied the table and put it on the toilet door. My crowning achievement, despite all the disadvantages I have struggled with over the years. Bloody rubbish!
*Flounces off in a massive pouty strop!*

And whose seen my pink strolling cravat? I can't go out with...... *gasp!*
Someone has been using it as bog roll!
I'm surrounded by flipping animals!
*slams door*
*sulks*
Couldn't be arsed to read through all that but...have you been taking something?!! :wink: :mrgreen:
I'm sure if it hasn't been done, it must mean that Bart is under the cosh with work, family etc or is having PC problems again. If I get a chance when back from Carlisle this weekend, I'll have a go at collating the results for weeks 25-27 and post a table up on here (I'm sure Bart won't mind - if you do mate, just shout!) I'm already thinking you should be deducted 5 points, Saigon, for dissent!! :mrgreen:
