I would like to thank everyone who played the Advent Competition this year. Some of you even made it to the end!

Solution: Santa Claus is coming to town

Winner: Scott :yahoo:

I had a total of three correct entries from Willamsfan, Km Keeper and Scott. I am please to announce that Scott's name was pulled out of a hat by Mrs Wiz this morning. I am sure you will join me in congratulating Scott in a job well done!

Commiseration's to Williamsfan and km keeper who came so close.  :good:

Note: I'm sorry I cannot contribute to any therapy sessions as a result of the advent competition.  :DD

OMG, I won something...you guys must LOVE me or something, I'm on top of the world...no, KING of the world.  (sorry, had a Sally Fields - James Cameron moment).  I would like to thank my wife, my kids, my cats and my snakes as well as honourable mention to CERN for developing the Internet and allowing me to research my answers, and of course Wizzo and Dare for running a kick a$$ website, and all my friends in our beloved GPW community.

 :yahoo:  Well done Scott.  :good:  :yahoo:

Mind you if your acceptance speech is anything to go by I wonder how much you'll need to spend on therapy to recover?  ;)  :D
