'Twas the round before Christmas and all through the net .... Best Christmas wishes to one and
all.

Tony Abell's natural 7 has garnered him the Christmas deal with his thatched roof. John Barrs is
the real winner since his was the vote that scotched a possible D0 thereby giving him an
unnatural 7.

There were 2 players in runner-up position with 3 points each: Tim Bourne
and Tim Lodge.

The true definition was 9: "A bridge made of beams, used in the Himalayas."
(OED, 2nd Ed.).

So take it away Tony
