    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Yes, that's usually what happens at the end of a round, which this will be. They will make 1, 2, 5 or however many calls it takes until they get through to someone who answers Make Me A Winner!

    Then my guess is there will be a week-long competition that ends next Friday, for £250k or similar. Then MMAW will start up again on 8th April I reckon.

    £200,000 tomorrow with a guaranteed winner and a triple rollover

    There will probably be a lot more phone calls to make as well.
