Despite Yahoo - Ryder Goes On
I received another missive from Iain who guided the ship through the latest Yahoo storm. He appears to be well in control and sailing along just nicely. I have received many compliments from the alley dwellers on his excellent organization and his friendliness. He deserves all the accolades he is getting. Thanks again Iain.
Here is the latest communication. Now if I can only figure out how to get rid of all these fleas.
Hi Dave,
Latest news from the alley, apologies if its slow getting there but using trained fleas this week as all my pigeons have vanished! Is that why the cats were grinning?
First I'd like to thank everyone for their patience as yahoo did its best to boot everyone at some stage or other! On top of this a_cowgirl_n_fl/maleinthecountry decided to leave after the first round for the second time despite me checking that they were going to be there for all three!! NOTE - In future, until it has been demonstrated that these people have a commitment to the tournament, they will not be acknowledged as registered. If a regular participant wants them as a partner and is willing to vouch for them, they could be included.
Overall result 21-20 cats (odd due to above mentioned drop out!)
