One week later round up...

So, it's a volcano in the Southern hemisphere, between 1,000 and 20,000 ft high which isn't near the equator, in Antarctica, the Phillipines or Indonesia. It has erupted in the last 100 years, but not in 1956. It also isn't Mt Erebus or Puyehue-Cordón Caulle...

(Pablo) Mt Ruapehu? Why, YES. *Wild applause*
Let us rub noses ... Thank you.
Passing the baton to Pablo.

Pablo seems to have buggered orff.

He was in the limerick game yesterday...

I think he's forgotten about this. Maybe a gentle nudge would be in order.

Where are you Pablo?

We're waiting for you

Still waiting

I gave him a gentle oblique nudge then a less gentle more direct one. What does one do, within the bounds of propriety and etiquette? FIIK.

Runner-up?

I think CdM was coming up on the answer... maybe he (?) would like to take over?

Impatience

(knobbly) Somebody ought to. I can't understand why Pablo seems to have gone on the blink. Anybody got his phone number?

well...

I'm not convinced that Pablo is the Pablo we think it is. Or someone (e.g. Gusset Login) typed 'Pablo' by accident instead of their own name, for reasons unknown.

It wasn't me

But, if it gets the game running again, I'd happily pick up the baton if asked.

Fine by me...

(GL) I'm happy for you to pick up the dropped baton, if there are no objections from the floor - it is nearly a month since my round was won...

No objections from this bit of old linoleum so go ahead, GL.
