Tipping is a mug’s game.
I got four last week (as did Liam Salter and the Crowd) and I don’t wanna talk about it. Fancy new boy Dem Panopoulos got six and now leads us by three points. Good for him.
Fortunately, this week looks a heck a lot easier, so hopefully we can all recover with some nice scores and I’ll be in a much nicer mood next week.
