      Tacky, or something I should JFDI? (not xoggy's one - that would be a bit OTT)

        Ah, right. If you'd been around for a pint or two I'd abandon the idea of driving home immediately after the conference, but as you won't be, I still have to decide whether to stay down there or not

            They need to update part of ms's profile...

            "will almost certainly return for the series finals in June 2018."
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Just one of 3 number errors on that page. I'm sure it'll get sorted when the regular updater turns up.

                I note that the second bloke to win eight games didn't get anything about being "the second male octochamp of the series"

                  Congrats.

                  Not that I understand any of it, but congrats anyway.

                  When the fun stops, STOP.

                    Funny that, I was just thinking that myself. Maggie's gender doesn't get a mention either, although she was the first woman to break a run of over 30 male Octochamps. Personally I'd prefer that to disappear - gender really doesn't come into a game of words and numbers, but not fussed enough to make a deal about it.

                      An "octochamp" is a contestant who has won eight games. They retire undefeated, and almost inevitably have a high enough cumulative score to be entered in the finals, which are a series of knockout heats leading to the final winner being declared Champion of Champions and given a big dictionary, despite the fact that they've proved themselves to be the person least likely to need one
