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...
Well the end of March sees Easter begin, traffic jams, piss-poor but entirely seasonal British weather and two winners of the WOTM competition. Both Sydalg and Wrenfoe have scored 29 points each, so it's either a draw or a funny gag showdown at noon. Hopefully Techguy has enough virtual mugs to go around. In second (or is it third) place is DavidH with a highly commendable 20 points.
