In fact 8th, and valliantly holding position by the skin of our teeth.
The toaster's got evens from the bookie that we manage to hold this.
And "quote" works, that's just made my day complete now  |
We did indeed move up to 8th and that is where we finished. Good effort that Toaster.

I'm very pleased with the "quote". I wonder how many quotes it can nest?
Good work with the 8th/34 for WCG. Pretty good for a project we've all but given up on!

Well done & thanks MacD: This may be one of our longest running threads. I'm locking it now and am off to follow all the new threads you've set up in the Throw Down The Gauntlet Sub-Forum. .
BTW 10 is quite enough for nested quotes. The prize is the satisfaction of being the last to post. Attempts to break this record will only be accepted if they arise naturally & necessarily in the course of real discussion and are not contrived purely for record breaking purposes.
