Thanks bbm2 for hosting

Congratulations, Aristo. Thank you, Bigbadmarty2.

Congrats, aristo. Thanks for the competition, bbm. Thanks for the votes, chrise and jws, and thanks for the vote and kind words, ginge.

Nice, as per, aristo. Gross apologies to everyone for the way my post after voting commenced turned out. It was not intentional to comment on the "likely" winner as such. Thanks Geevo for your vote (and again apologies hearhcliffe if you're looking in, for not acknowledging as such a couple of weeks ago), cheers Marty and those who gave me a mention.

Well done, Aristo, and Cheers, BBM2.
Thanks to Ginge for the mention - much appreciated.

Wow. Thanks for the votes, pigale, mattrom, rossim, and bobs mum (a special treat to have scored with the ladies), and for the mentions, fernfinder and ginjar. Thanks also to bigbad for officiating and for the prize (oh, those spaghetti westerns, and oh, those Danes [something to try with my own choir]).

It snowed today, and it's freezing! I'll be on my island next week and I hope the lines aren't pulled down by icicles. It's so much fun to post on a phone with my oversized fingers.
