When the clock strikes twelve with the midnight bell. I'm not joining the texting hell! So here is my message to those I hold dear. Have a great night and a Happy New Year.

Is something happening tonight or what?
Richie and me have just finished in the workshop and we're back in tomorrow - have we missed something?

No, sorry - I really have tried to form a coherent and believable sentence containing both "Bill Smith" and "missed something" but have failed completely. Had a lot more success when I changed the word "something" for "nothing" ....

Checkie- try again by adding 'the last few decades of popular culture'.
Yes - and you may as well lump in the fact that I've no idea who won the world tiddlywinks championships for those few decades either. After all, it's about on a par so far as useful information goes...

I do believe you can find this information at the site of the English Tiddlywinks Association (http://www.etwa.org).To get you started, here are the results for the Tiddlywinks World Singles (WS) matches for the last 10 years. This is the game's highest accolade, and is played on a challenge basis. A player must become the National Singles champion in order to challenge the current World Singles champion to an official match. These are played over seven games.
