5 minutes from the end of the first tourney on Thursday night and the bleeding internet connection at Southampton's 'not-so' Premier Inn totally gave up.
Cue much back and forthing with reception and their internet service providers for the next 2 hours, until eventually the ISP told me it was their fault, they would get engineers to look at it, but that wouldn't be happening any time before midnight.
Well, at least I got the £3 back that the service cost me- eventually- grrrr!
Anyway, sorry to bail out so suddenly with no way of letting you know what had happened. Amazing really how out of it you feel when you haven't got access to the net all of a sudden!
The whole reason I was down in Southmapton was becuase I was filming at Stonehenge first thing this moring and then on to the Dyson factory (don't tell Tikay) in the afternoon. And so this is the first time I've been able to get to the forum to explain myself!!!
Thanks Trev for keeping the flame burning in my absence- I was very close to posting a big ROI early doors as I lay in 5th place when the net went down and still managed 200%- but that was after blinding away for several orbits before the end.
Great effort from Poppy765 though with a gargantuan 1155%. I haven't seen one as big as that yet, as they say, and so you've won the prize.
I'll enter you into next week's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter. Good luck in that. Let me know on here that you've seen this message and know you're in the main event next week.
I'm hoping to do this one more time next week- this time from home!!!!!

Staying in Southampton because you're filming at Stonehenge the next morning is a bit like staying in Folkestone because you're filming in Paris in the morning. Perhaps try Salisbury next time? I'm just saying.
