Guys

Having read Nik's round-up (ta Nik) I don't remember there being a
competition.
Having read the following I am inspired to set one of my own.

As someone who owns a small O'Reilly zoo this has inspired me to set
my own competition.

The prise to the best O'Reilly related tee-shirt worn to the meet this
week.

Judge: Me - bow down before me :-)
When:  This Thursday
Where: The LUGMOOT
Prize: I'll by you a drink.

Okay it's not much of a prize, but then it's not much of a competition.

Steve
