    Well, you did vote for both my entries, hey?

    I bet you've dreamed of coming second in something.

    Very Rusty, whose command of the language is flawless, is deeply offended when anyone else in the forums dares to make a mistake, even a minor error. Woe betide the miscreant!

    I did indeed for both your entries because I enjoyed them. (why would I not vote for them?)

    I bet the only thing you ever finished first in was the Prose competition and I bet you were disappointed to finish 2nd this year!

    I've finished 1rst more times in my life in more things than you probably have goad!

    Appears that would be something more up your alley....wait I take that back you would probably find it too hard for you!!! 😛 😉

    Gurning contests are a rural English tradition. They are held regularly in some villages, with contestants traditionally framing their faces through a horse collar — known as "gurnin' through a braffin". The World Gurning Championship takes place annually at the Egremont Crab Fair.

    I had to "google"it as I am not from England and I know a large fellow whose face is in a permanent Gurning state. Looks like he's constantly trying to "dump a load", which may be the reason we call him "Dump Truck". He was an amazing football (North American) player/lineman. Nobody he was apposite, ever got to the quarterback.

    Your wheel really is missing its hamster.

    I said 'google kept you distracted for a few minutes' and you replied 'not at all' that you had been playing chess. - If you 'hadn't' used google how did you know so much about gurning?! Understand now Sherlock? (Probably not).
