WOTM May 2020 final

Well the Big O gone and done it again, pipping SteveB by a small fraction, however he also falls foul of the infamous Wren Rule that says you can't win the coveted WOTM virtual mug two months on the trot.  Consequently the virtual prize goes to SteveB himself, with Deceangli coming in third/second (depending on how you look at it)  All in all an exiting competition this month. 

All the links to Front Page, News in Brief and Left alerts are below the leader table, as usual and also as usual the full list of tickers can be found in the chat room.

Deskpilot has topped the leaderboard (again) with a brilliant set of headlines plus a not too shabby run of FPs and NiBs.  SteveB has kept the pressure on and eppursimuouve brings up a creditable third place. There's a full list of the published subs below the leaderboard with links, the cartoon of the month and a full list of headlines. apepper Galloway: "We'll take seats from labour, providing they don't stand, obviously" Garrick Club doubles down and bans men as well as women Jeremy Hunt diverts entire GDP into his own constituenc y Tory donor slams year-long waiting list for knighthood Unnamed Tory MP not under investigation by Standards Committee Ashbery Boat Race Betting (and Pooping) Guide Chipchase Irish Eyes smiling as Bono grants Pope an audience Shock: National Treasure, Tiddler, was double agent Trump: My 4-goal haul in 1966 World Cup Final will never be beaten david2468 Foreign Secretary visits Thailand to pursue stronger economic and defence ties… he...

Writer of the Month February 2024

Deskpilot continues his fantastic run, however longer running competitors will recall the Wren rule, suggested by Wrenfoe in the early days of this competition when he was winning on a monthly basis, that a person cannot win two months running.  On that basis stewartbarclay is nominated Writer of the Month.  Congrats to everyone who had anything published in this elongated February, however. As usual the cartoon of the month follows the hyperlinks to the successful subs and is above the full ticker list. apepper Man desperate for condoms "heartbroken" by 3 week pharmacist appointment Number of Tory factions now exceeds number of MPs 'Popular Conservatives' faction to split Sunak removes whip from Enoch Powell Survey shows 'loads of people' are statistically challenged benvoleo Know the Snow Warning code! cara Channel 4 Announces New Reality Show: Don't Tell the Mother Smug bastard cycles to work Chipchase Choir Wars: The Chorus Strikes Back Danny Soz '...
