The Masked Teri ( whoever he is) has won the same tiles game for June. It's been a great competition, especially between him (or is it her) and Martin Mason, Below is his final score which I find hard to believe will be beaten as Martin is still on his holidays. Anyway the Masked Teri still doesn't want to give away his Identity, so as a tribute to him you can read his last e-mail in which he gives his reasons for keeping his anonymity.
Dear Webmaster.
Some people look for glory climbing unassailable mountains.
Some people want to run faster than others.
Some even want to be able to eat more baked beans in a minute than anyone else.
(poor people)
Oh please let me be the first at that!
Oh let me win that medal!
Oh let my peers envy me!
(poor people)
Look, my car is better than yours.
Look, I have 1000gb hard drive and a Pentium 25 processor.
Look, my house has en-suite in every room.
(poor people)
Not me! I have told you before Dear Webmaster, I look neither for fame nor fortune, glory is not my mistress, nor ever will be, hence the reason I hide behind this mask! I do not want to be pointed out as the person who reached the dizzy heights of the same tiles table, not for me the autograph hunters stalking me as I walk along the High Street, "Oh there he is, the champion!" Or going into a local bar and the worthies buying me drink after drink to gain some affection, or mark of my favour.....No! I will not have it!
And so! This brings me to the end, the finish, the finale. I have done what I think should be enough to win this title, and yet it is tinged with sadness, I started off with a reasonable score, my worthy adversary returned with a better one, yes it has been a a close competion. The cut and thrust, the chase, the suspense, have I done enough? will it beat Mr Mason, will he come back with a bigger score? And yes dear webmaster, I did see the message, clever, and did set me thinking, has he beat the big score or not? And so with many sleepless nights, and many times pressing the wrong button when I could have returned a great score, I have at last decided to take my finger of the same tile mouse button! This is my very last entry, boo hoo, how sad! (or is it!)
BUT! look on the bright side, I did return some great scores, I did send in a blank screen ( did everyone believe?) and if I'm beat then I will give up graciously and doff my cap to a superior adversary, well done that man, you deserve the prize and the acolades that go with it, and I will certainly send a message with my congratulations on a well fought out battle.
But! If has not beaten this my final score, well, well,well, how can he call himself the champion, he would be second, not first, not the winner, not the person at the top of the table. He would be the underdog, the person that everyone forgets, the nobody, and to take the first prize when your not first!!! Tut! Tut! Tut! its not British is it? Its not the done thing, so Mr Mason I hope you have a better backbone than to accept any prize that your not entitled to, because I wouldn't, at least if you have been beaten with this score, accept the wooden spoon like any gentleman would! As for me, no prizes please if I happen to be at the top of the table, my honour would not allow me to collect when I have not divulged my name, gentlemen............its not cricket!
PS. Ive been told you have some good young
pipers! If I had won fairly and squarely, I would have donated it to any raffle
they have! (for your eyes only that last PS)
The Masked 'Teri' strikes again !!!!
