The early votes in this round were very evenly spread, but at the
end Guerri Stevens and Chris Carson tied with 5 natural points
each. Chris is ahead in the rolling scores, so he has the honour of
the next deal, while Guerri can relax as the real winner in second
place. Three of you guessed that a SHARGAR is a lean, thin, stunted
person or animal, or a weakly child. It doesn't apply to my
grandchildren. We were looking after Tom and Tanya's 13-month-old
Dylan yesterday, and today we both feel as though we've gone 15
rounds with Mike Tyson!
Take it away, Chris.
