Also, Simon started with the most recent entries and worked his way back, and I started with the first entry and worked my way through to 23.59 on the 28th, which seems like a lifetime ago.
Ah, so that little snippet tells my that my partially defrosted chicken is still quite fresh in Declan's mind, whereas, for Simon, it may just be a vaguely unpleasant odour which he can't quite place. If I correctly recall the primacy and recency effects from the half of my degree which was in Psychology, this system could work in favour of those of us who submitted either early or at the eleventh hour and against those in between.
Like all those loitering around the forum today, I am just trying to glean a grain of hope.
Oh and I LOVED the little taster of what has already been earmarked as next year's winning entry! Very much a "wish I'd written that" moment.
