Ambushed

Only five days remain in the race for the Maillot Jaune 2009, and I was ambushed on Saturday. Crespo rounded up Helmet and Queso, and they ambushed me. He claimed that I had said that flights in China were allowing standing room flights, something I have no recollection of saying. It transpires however that they have made an application to the regulatory body to began flying customers in just such a matter. So it is technically a slip of the tongue. But bolstered by a grumpy helmet and a lubricated Fromage, I was issued two points, as the had the prerequiste three members in agreement. Helmet then tried to goad me into an appeal, some thing I nearly committed to, but a quick glance around the Villager indicated that I would struggle to find an ally. So two points it is. I have also undertaken to accept four points for setting off the smoke alarms in my house after passing out after putting a pizza in the oven. The Elster was not chuffed. I think it is just as well there are only a few days left, as a ll of a sudden I have come into the reckoning, although I still remain some way short of the two outstanding candidates for this years title. It has been agreed however to overhaul the scoring template for 2010, although I am worried that too much input from Tony and Shouty will see an unprecedented awarding of points, as they are a bit over zealous. We don't want to end up on our nights out saying nothing, for fear of being branded an eejit. Do we??
