They're small. I'll take two.

I did the same

I'm not surprised, Bob.

How's about a few more votes? It seems that people are enjoying the holidays on Wordcraft, though my Facebook has been very active. It is interesting comparing the two.

Four measly votes? Can we have a few more, pretty please?

Sorry, the poll won't let me vote twice.

Hmmm, interesting, but am I missing something?

Just saying how quiet it is around here lately.

Ah - yes, it has been. Unfortunately I haven't been helpful either. It seems that something always has come up recently - just after I sent out that PM to our members. Any other thoughts on what I can do?

Happy new year - fellow limericists (the spell check doesn't think it's a word, and even if it isn't, perhaps it should be)!

I am logging in to Wordcraft for the 1st time in 2016, and just cast a vote, but I see it didn't help much by forcing a tie in the game. Well done to all of you who had a crack, I couldn't come up with anything worth sharing.

Bob, it's up to you.

Ahem, Bob. Your choice. If you don't select one we won't be able to do the next game until you are back from Singapore.

Here are the names of the contributers

1 bethree5
2 bethree5
3 Kalleh
4 Geoff
5 haberdasher
6 Geoff

and it is currently between 2 and 3. In a free vote I'd've gone for number 4 but as that won't help matters here I'll say 3. Over to you Kalleh.

Ah...thanks so much, Bob! I'm off to a conference tomorrow so I'll post something tonight.
