    Hang on Andy, there can only be one spoon, so it should be a tiebreaker, based on the biggest system: well done Tunnel.... smiley-taunt002.gif...smiley-taunt005.gif.

    Pheww......0.2 O's for me......smiley-laughing021.gif....coffee.gif

    LOL. I felt a bit harsh singling out one person, when a ZERO is a ZERO, no matter which way you say it - unless you're a politician in which case, who the hell knows what it means? :rotfl:

    I'm sure the 2 spoons will merge back in to one overnight :T

    Think I know what you mean; bit like percentage pay rises: 1% of 200,000.00p a year is 2,000.00. extra. 1% of 0 O's is still zero. Can't understand why people work on % rather than £. to each employee - guess that's why the big divide is growing bigger.....and bigger......and.....coffee.gif
