Some years ago I'd asked my wife for, among other things, a copy of Codemasters' Playstation rugby sim for Christmas. This game featured on the cover one Jonah Lomu, the All Black winger who had recently in the space of eighty minutes utterly destroyed a) England's World Cup hopes and b) Tony Underwood's international career.

Being unable to find this game on the shelf in Gamestation, she went up to the counter staff and, brilliantly, asked them if they had a copy of Jona Lewie's International Rugby.

Frankly, I think that might have been a better game.

It seems that my song (song one for anyone who has been asleep for the last two months) hasn't uploaded properly and cannot apparently be altered. As it is unlistenable in it's current state I've made a download link to the perfectly fine mp3 I uploaded. As the track is little known and pretty good I'm sure some would appreciate being able to hear it properly.

So if Craig wins this week, I come 2nd, and Rudolfowa comes 3rd, then we all tie on points and it comes down to Total votes?

I don't think so. I'm on 20 with 212 votes, you're on 16 with 201 votes, Craig's on 14 with 231.

5 points for first, 3 points for second, 1 point for third.

If I get second or better, I win the group no matter what. If I'm third, we'll have 21 points each and you can win the group by being top of the tree this round and having 12 more votes than me. If I'm fourth or lower, you just need to win the group.

Craig can't match my points total no matter what - he's 6 points behind me with a maximum of 5 on offer. He needs to finish a) above you and b) at least second in this week's voting, which'll make up the 2-point gap between the two of you where his higher "total votes" score will see him though as runner-up.

Clear as mud, I hope.

Ahem. 'Stop the Cavalry' isn't a Christmas song.

It has "Wish I was at home...for Christmas" in it. That's as much as most 'Christmas' songs.

And it's got bells in. And it's on every Christmas album ever made, ever. That's good enough for me.
