August WOTM week 3

A couple of days late - many apologies - and we still have a tussle for the top position.  Technically the mighty Wren is in the lead, but due to winning last month has to let the crown go if he's first. Daneade is close on Wren's heels anyway, followed by Oxy in third position.  With a week still to go it could be anybody's competition.  Special mention needs to be made to Dominic_mcg who is in fourth position and has achieved this one point at a time with his tickers.

As usual the current leaderboard is below with all the FPs and NiBs (with hyperlinks to published subs) provided below that.
