The list would look better with a 10th participant.  What are you waiting for?  Let's make this a memorable competition!

Weelllll....I'm interested but would have a hard time completing a project right now. When would the deadline be? Maybe someone would consider collaborating with me, if such person is okay with me providing ideas for word tweaks, maybe melody, and doing some singing???

We just got into our new house yesterday. There are boxes everywhere full of mystery items. Various people have helped put some things away, so it's a treasure hunt to find them. So I'll be spending most of my productive time finding things, organizing things, putting things away, deciding not to keep things....

But if I can manage anything, and doing a little writing would provide nice breaks from the tedium, I am interested.

Yep, thanks for the invite @Neil C. I’d be happy to give a collab a go. We can catch up about it after the Spinning Wheel night.

Not sure I will have time to write a solo entry too, as I am supposed to be writing prose at the moment.

@pompeyjazz are headlines from local papers, plus more trivia stories,  allowed to be submitted, or is it all national/world news and serious stuff? Ta.

@MichaelA The headlines are from Tabloids, local newspapers, some pretty straight, some pretty weird but I can't reveal any more details as that would spoil the fun. If you have any then please PM me and I'll add them to the list  :)

Hey @pompeyjazz , why am I on the wheel twice? I feel like a schoolboy in detention  ;) Then again, even I don’t have a memory that long...

Nice wheel though. But these sorts of things should be spun by beautiful assistants in glittery dresses, not a scruffy southern bloke in an unironed t-shirt and dragging on a fag! Just saying...make an effort at least if you are doing it.  ;D

You're on there twice @MichaelA as a solo competitor and as a collab with NeilC. Anyway, it's only an example of the fun night ahead a week on Friday. Plus, I'm a Midlander, not a Southerner and I have got an iron you cheeky bustard   ;D

Yeah course @pompeyjazz as a Cov lad I am sure your Two Tone gear is always impeccable. I have a very old PC with a blurry screen, sorry, so can’t always appreciate the sartorial splendour of other Zoom participants.

Anyway, the revamped wheel is cool!  ;)
