Tipping comp week 12 update. (2017)

[globaleagle]

Welcome to the:

"No injuries please" round.

Dedicated to:

Jake's origin debut....and injury free Manly origin players.
​

Hello everyone! Manly had a bye this week so possibly we were all a bit:​

​

Well not all of us....I mean I was busy getting this wrap up done. Work, work, work that's all I do for you guys. In fact, here's me typing away...!

ANYWAY..... there were only four games this weekend so we all got 4 out of 4 right? Wright? Write?? Rite???

Wrong! Only a few (eleven) people partook in brain steroids and got home with a perfect round. Eleven....the same as last week but unfortunately (mainly for me) it wasn't the same 11.

This weeks heroes are:​

Go manly
Bradza
Eagleheart
Rusty Cage
Rodo
Pommie Eagle
Peter C
nightster
Mid Dog
Frank
Moondog

So well done! But...do we have an uber kewl winner based on closest to the correct margin? Why yes we do!

And did it get stuffed up because two people had picked the margin correctly like last week?
Why yes it did! *sigh*

So bonus congratulations to @Bradza and @Go manly.

Again, I don't know if one (or probably both) picked the exact score as well; it's a true mystery for the ages!

Also....get a damn avatar ya secret squirrels!

But wait....! Bradza also got a full card and the margin correct last week!?!?!?!

"There's gotta be an investi...wait for it......gation!​

No more 'under the radar for you Mr. Smarty Pants! (Well done!)

The "It hasn't moved that damn much" leader board:​

Eagle1188 75: Still in the lead. Throwing his hands in the air like he just don't care!
Moondog 74:Likes perfect rounds now...closing the gap to one point. (Oooooh)
Manly To Win! 72: Still smug, still 3 from the lead..hovering like an eagle!
Tragic-Eagles 72: All Eagle, no tragic! Maintains the pressure!
Pommie Eagle 71: The Lion roars! Proof there's intelligent life 'above the equator.'
ALinda 71: Waiting to pounce...loike a toigah!
Clint 71: Confirms that dartboards are a tipsters best friend! (lol kidding.)
Wombat64 71: Only 2 from 4 this week - giving us mortals a chance!


Again, well done to our leaders and overlords, especially @Eagle1188 who has lead for ages and ages and ages and ages and......

As always: Full list of pleasure or pain here:
Go on....give us a click...don't be a little tease...click me!
​

This week's random member mention!​

Well the random number this week was...20!

And the lucky member it corresponds to is:​

@Jock !!!!!!​

Jock 67 points!​

Now it says Jock has been a member since 2004 and only has 70 or so posts!! We also know Jock is from Scotland and arrived in Aust over 50 years ago. How do we know this....well he posted it in one of his very few musings.

I will not perpetuate an aging stereotype and claim that Jock believes that posts are like money, a Scot wastes neither; so instead I will say....

Post more....and we're on to you as well! 67 points has you very close to the lead you sneaky bugger intelligent tipster. Keep it up and well done!

Well Manly faithful, State of Origin is on this week; good luck to the Manly men selected and fingers crossed for no injuries nor referee stuff ups.

Manly v Raiders coming up on the weekend.

Thanks to all those who could join the tipping comp and by doing so have helped @Dan who, (despite rumours to the contrary - spread mainly by me) does not have a Scrooge McDuck vault full of cash that he rolls around in.

Good health to you all.

Your friend,
ge

Cheers @globaleagle for the mention. That's 13 correct tips in a row and I still can't crack the bloody leaderboard!

My tipping to date was an oversight...

 

[Bradza]

Damn - I need to start picking the bonus game. Only 5 times when some people have done it 10 or 11 times in 12 rounds!

My pleasure! And well done regarding the score. The tip monster is a harsh task master and only wants to congratulate those with perfect scores (boo.) Good job!

I looked but missed my tag...must have been an oversight

Aww, I said last week that I should stop tagging you; but from now on it's like an overpriced shopping mall...tags everywhere!!! @lsz

@globaleagle can you please choose me as the random member next week?

I can't say yes because then if the random number generator thingie does pick you....no one will believe me ever again! Also...it would have to be Brylcreem in Mr Lewis' hair surely..?..!

Cheers @globaleagle for the mention. That's 13 correct tips in a row and I still can't crack the bloody leaderboard!

Not picking the bonus game is my gift...you cant have it! lol

I'm just bored that there's no new posts. WAKE UP!!!!!!

Plus 100 views for this literary gold? sheesh

#hashtagpoundsign

The # symbol is commonly called the pound sign, number sign and more recently the hashtag. It is called the pound sign because the symbol comes from the abbreviation for weight, lb, or “libra pondo” literally “pound by weight” in Latin. When writing lb, it was not uncommon for scribes to cross the letters across the top with a line across the top, like a t. See the example below.

The phrase “number sign” arose in Britain because “pound sign” could easily be confused with the British currency. The # symbol is sometimes spoken as the word “number” as in the word “number two pencil.”

But what is its official name? The octothorpe.
