Handing the torchy thing to Raak

ah sorry, I meant to Bothererererer, of course.

steals torch from Raak to give to Bothererererer

The trouble is...

I can't access this site from work (websense thinks it's a game!) and will be limited to late night visits for the next few days, so it would be unfair for me to hold the torch... I nominate the first person who gives a damn...

Not me - I had a go recently.

Congrats Botherer. I'll give a "Damn!"

Alright if you want someone else to do it, I'm game
