I know I was behind @steverob, but I thought it was closer? Did he play his joker one week?

*btw i mainly concerned about @Mad Doug Biker getting to close and taking pot shots again.

I'd noticed that my lead was suddenly a lot bigger and wondered why.

Looks like it was around the 20th August quiz - maybe your score didn't get added to the board?
