Blades: W2: 100%
All FaT boats to spoon: 25%
So at least two people are backing W2 for both blades and spoons this week...

I've realised that most people probably don't know to what 'FaTAMS' refers.. FYI, FaTAMS stands for 'First and Third Adaptive Multisport Society', but also refers to the injuries/illnesses/diseases suffered by those who belong to this truly special group of athletes. For example: the recent epidemic of shoulder injuries which required the inclusion of a separate one-armed golf match. Since I'm pretty 'special' at a lot of sports for which there is a FaT vs BPBC match i'm keen to see this society expanded.

The incest chart is a popular option... the current version appears to be triangle-free, obviously the club wasn't so liberal back then.

There were actually one or two love triangles but in each case one or more of the parties concerned objected to having them on the chart!

Just out of interest, was I involved in any of them?
