    Sorry. It's been a long day.

      I'm loving some of these excuses guys! Slow browsers; harder questions; long days at the office; too much vino; not enough caffeine. Keep 'em coming...

          I've just tried this four times. Highest score was 3940, and lowest 3840.

          But then, the weather here today has been deplorable, it's Tuesday, and there's an "R" in the month. I also think the moon's in the wrong phase.

            my laptop has a touchpad that requires a heavy hit, thus taking up valuable microseconds.

              3860 on a slow 3G mobile phone with slow Internet. I am obviously a genius.

                but not afraid to state the obvious.

                you can get internet on a phone? in the north?

                  Don't joke - the Internet up here is terrible. The people are lovely though.

                    Actually, sensibly for once, I always found Manchester people the friendliest in Britain.

                    Brilliant grub too.

                    You can buy a sausage Barm cake the size of the charity shield for about 79p.

                    Sorry to hear about the web though. Still they do have trams in Manchesterford.

                      I've just realised what I'm hungry for right now!

                          Well that would be a big ZERO on the vocab test !

                              That looks scrummy!

                              Yes, I am really in Manchester. Been working here for 6 weeks now. So much for retirement

                                good news. None of that unseemly queuing at the Post Office for you then.
