You know, I can tell if the ‘AKA’s’ are having a slightly difficult week; – Neil, Steve and Dave do what they did tonight, and come with first with a score of less than sixty. OK, they got fifty-nine, but that sport round didn’t help …
It didn’t help ‘The Noble Pedants, either, with their second place score of fifty-three, either, although the GBB –Becky herself, with Michelle, Mat, David, Aurora and Mark, in the next two photos, under them, didn’t do too badly off the back of it, with forty-nine points, and three points for that round. The ‘Domestic Blisters’ –and, BOY, do I wish they’d keep their name consistent, bless ’em – came in fourth, with thiry-four points, with the ‘Steam Brains’ –the effectively renamed ‘Joyce’s Gang’– bringing up the rear, with 32•5 points. And they’ve been known to do well …
Anyway, just so you know, tnext weeks bonus is at £14•50 –all good, as far as I’m concerned– as a result of this; – “
Austropotamobius pallipes is the only species of what, native to Britain?” It’s Britain’s only native crayfish, and also known as the White Clawed, or Atlantic Stream, Crawfish.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
