Our Andy Cappers
notes on GP1 and handicaps for GP2
At long last His Eminence has graciously given me the green light - no
that does not mean that I have seen the light - to publicise the results
of GP1.
What does one say about Kitching's Inc. Have they shown their hand too
early with three in the top ten? Or has King Kitching inherited a well
drilled squad from Roaring Ralph.
Once again Royal Ron's Ramblers have made their usual start with three
in the top eleven. But both teams will have to look out for Regal Baker's
Gallowgate Gadgies (well football commentators always say that a premier
side is at it's most dangerous when a goal down). His Eminence and I are
sponsoring telescopes and binoculars to help you look out.
Congratulations to Walker the Wise (after Leeds!!), Bard Brannon, Newton
the Newcomer and Hasty Hollingsworth for their actual performances {Nice
try but not good enough to beat Andy Capper).
Thinking ahead Royal Ron had better be careful for GP8. The Lady Lorain
who was the previous runner to win GP8 twice in a row certainly fell foul
of the andicapper this time.
Well our current Race Leader, with compulsory Yellow Jersey, is Madame
Michelle. Congratulations on being in that rare breed of people to beat
Andy Capper on their first outing. Best of luck next time!!
When His Eminence saw the draft results He expressed concern about Countess
Claire (overall winner last series) being as high as tenth position and
He dared to challenge the andicapping system.
He eventually was made to understand that Countess (and her two rambling
colleagues),Madame, King Kitching's trio, Lord Les (who no doubt will
amend this report to state how brilliantly he
ran in his capacity as NSP web site person), Startling Sima (it seems
only a week ago His Eminence said to me that there is a new runner at
NSP who is silly enough to wish to compete in the Grand Prix), Battling
Ben and Just Joined Jason will have nastier handicaps next time!!
Please note - SERIOUSLY - that I can
not accurately give handicaps for competitors numbered 8, 23,
31, 32, 39, 51, 58, 59, 61, 62, 69, 84, 90, 94, 95, 109, 110, 111 and
116 as they did not compete in THE BLYTH LINKS 10k and I would
appreciate some guidance on the capabilities of Dave Stevens such that
I can at least make an initial guess.
It is my intention to amend the results of GP2 such that the above numbered
competitors finish about half way.
Because of ongoing problems with Andy Capper (46 minutes for 9K last week)
his handicap may have to be changed on more than one occasion - unless
of course His Eminence introduces "Drug Testing"
