Nimmo wins Mallard with gammy wildfowl shocker!!

Yes indeedy, as exposed on this very blog a mere week ago, Derek Nimmo (for it is he), has claimed victory in the 2021 Golden Mallard Patch Challenge, with two highly dubious wildfowl claims to move a few vital percentage points ahead of Shakey, just as he was at the metaphorical clubhouse bar ordering a couple of celebratory pints and two brandy chasers, no doubt.

Still, its only a couple of dodgy ducks hey? So I guess we'll have to let him have it!

Here for posterity, are the final scores from the 2021 competition...

Some scores,yesterday

In a further bizarre twist of fate, third place went to T2006, which is all the more surprising as it spent much of the year polishing its large back catalogue of Genesis records in its underground bunker.

So there you have it. Mr Nimmo is eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Golden Mallard (worth at least £50 on ebay) for only the second time in his lifetime! The Proclaimers have promised to pack it carefully and send it forthwith. Shakey has ordered another round of drinks in the Clubhouse bar. T2006 has just popped Side 2 of "Selling England by the Pound" on the turntable. Normal service has resumed...

Final patch scores for 2015

Bushveld requested a while back that I post the final league table from 2015, so here it is. As ever, I am only too happy to oblige my loyal subjects where possible. I think a couple of patch scores may not have been updated before Dec 31st due to extenuating circumstances but you get the general idea.

It was all about Nimmo in 2015

leapfrogging da prockies

a fine flyover green sandpiper last nite brings me upwards of the 95% barrier - never been so high so early in da year! Scorchio!
