Just to note that it is slightly over a year since I took the lead when GuyBarry retired and slightly over six months since I reached 100000. It is possible that I am no longer in the lead but, in the absence of recent scores, I thought that I would fill the gap by basking in the glory of those two anniversaries :lol:
First to 100000 in the 2015+ Tumbleweed contest. Winner of a few rounds of a diverse range of quizzes/games. Some decent times in alternative challenges as a fiftysomething who merely walks briskly. Briefly led All The Actons.

I'm commenting disparagingly on the lack of response to my previous comment about the lack of scores. Fx is short for (audiovisual) effects and is common in internet posts. Tumbleweed, rolling past silently as time passes, is doubly relevant as an amusing historical reference and even more so as a current expression of frustration at the deafening silence.

Oh, I didn't notice those were only the scores to 17th September, so it's possible that AC may be in the lead now - but he couldn't have overtaken him 2 months ago!
