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 '...
