QUARTER FINALS - IT'S NEARLY OVER!

[wardytron]

There were a lot of one-sided contests in the last round of Lovely of the Year, the only tension being provided in the matches between John Smeaton and George Clooney - which Clooney lost by a mere four votes, leaving wardytron as the main eyecandy among the remaining contestants, right ladies? Ladies? Anyone? No? - and between Charlie Brooker and

I'd better f#cking win, I've spent nearly twenty quid on that bloody trophy.

If someone else was running LOTY and they declared that they'd spent £20 on a trophy, even if you were a front runner for that trophy, you fully well know that you would claim that they had just wasted £20. "You could have spent that twenty quid on a booze prize!" is what you would say. Come on Andrew! Be objective about these things, for once!

Those are good odds, aren't they. I wonder if the Random Fixtures Computer will draw him against me in the semi-final. The Random Fixtures Computer has given me two suspiciously easy draws in this round and the last, I can't help noticing.

rhodri, I think you may have misunderstood the nature of probability. Other than you, there are 3 remaining semi-finalists, therefore you have a one in three chances of drawing each of them. The only thing that might interfere with this would be some kind of contemptible and desperate attempt on my part to fix the draw.
