When DJ is Match Secretary it's always nice weather, but Nance takes a turn and thus it wazzes down. Nance (playing with Turbo) and Mr. Grumpy (playing with Cutie-Cutie) get soaked to the skin, but console themselves with the knowledge that conditions are probably much worse down at Trevose.

As publicised last week, Nance has invested in an electric trolley with a remote control. It's not a "brand name" and there are suggestions that he might have got it from www.isawyoucoming.com. The thing seems to have a mind of its own and zig zags violently in all directions. It also has a tendency towards severe wheel spin and so digs itself into some bark chippings on the 4th and the gravel path on the 15th while Nance exhibits all the driver skills of Andrea de Cesaris.

By the 16th the rain has seeped into the electrics such that "on" becomes "off" and "off" has become "on" so increasing the fun factor exponentially. The likelihood is this will cause weeks of amusement.

Match-wise Mr. Grumpy and Cutie-Cutie take the front comfortably, but lose the back equally comfortably with the result that Turbo and Nance take £2.

The computer then corrects Mr. Grumpy's maths such that he and Nance share ten points with very modest 29s.
