Action's heating up in the PoTM !!! the two guys fool enough to try for it are tied as hell with 59 points each ! Bet on your horse ! which one does look the fresher ? Which one will more likely fall when trying to jump the next edge ?
And Fritzl is only 10 wins away ... Do we have an outsider here ?
I bet on Nathan ... pick up your favorite

Three months ago, 70 points in PotM seemed an impossible goal. Nowadays it seems that's just what it takes to win. Well done, Jean.
I'm betting Swynndla takes it personal, and comes back to whup you next month.

Hum here we encounter caribous more often than camels maybe Nathan will be kind enough to accept an alternative present ?? I don't know if New Zealand's weather would appeal to it though ...
As for this month, Nathan wasn't trying at all to win the contest as he said, so I fear I'll be no match as soon as he comes back to it

He knew you would make good on your bet and thought that camels might get better gas mileage than whatever he uses to commute now?

hehe indeed ... in some 50 years, there'll be no oil anymore, and everybody will be immobilized apart from one guy in New Zealand riding on the back of a caribou ...
by the way, Adanac and PMertens have already taken a 20 points lead ... if they go on at this pace, they'll be at 160 by the end of june

LOL what a crazy conversation.
I'm still working on my bot (albeit very very very slowly) so I won't be focussing on the potm for a while
