1st - Adrian Hickford with: [A poem by George Crabbe (1754–1832)]
The Marriage
The ring, so worn as you behold,
So thin, so pale, is yet of gold:
The passion such it was to prove--
Worn with life's care, love yet was love.
=
Suppose it's Over
Though it was brilliant, yet it's tarnished now,
The wooing's gone, also the former vow.
A horoscope says "Away he'll flee."
D. I. V. O. R. C. E.

Ten things you didn't know:
1. Frying pan fumes can kill canaries, according to the Worldwide Fund for Nature.
2. Bill Clinton sent just two e-mails while he was president.
3. Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, has got solar panels fitted on the roof of his Cricklewood home.
4. Whales can explode - a dead sperm whale this week exploded in Taiwan, showering blood and body parts on passers-by. Marine biologists blamed it on a build-up of gases inside the whale.
5. More than a quarter of UK households have no savings, according to statistics revealed this week.
6. Pets will be eligible for frequent flier points on Japanese airline JAL from March. The points will be exchangeable for cage rentals on board, as well as gifts.
7. The man who invented Ctrl+Alt+Delete retired on Friday. David Bradley, 55, spent five minutes writing the computer code that has helped bail out millions of PC users, while working for IBM in the 1980s. "I may have invented it, but Bill Gates made it famous," Bradley said.
8. 70% of mobile phone owners in the UK have pre-pay models.
9. Cunning bargain hunters are roaming Ebay looking for misspelled goods which attract hardly any bids because they don't turn up in text searches. One man bought three Compaq laptops at a pittance simply by asking for "Compacts" instead.
10. Brits drank 35% more champagne in bars and pubs in 2003 than in the year before.
=
Ten things that are blindingly obvious:
1. Eight out of ten sophisticated cannibals think late German towns-people taste better.
2. Regardless of wunderkind heart-throb Johnny Depp's distinguished performance, and the wonderful fight scenes within, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of the Black Pearl" is not quite as good as most people think.
3. Bird-spotters (or twitchers) are quite dull, especially when waxing lyrical about waxwings or whip-poor-wills (which are related to goat-suckers).
4. Decaffeinated coffee is an oxymoron. It is also a flavour-free, unjustifiable, damnable and wretched drink.
5. Udders (cow-boobs) are downright odd; milking cows using one's hands feels fantastic, and the cows like it, too, no doubt.
6. The shrewd, inventive Professor Colin Pillinger (who is still hoping to hear back from embattled Beagle II, abandoned on Martian earth) has incredible, offensive, unfathomably over-developed sideburns.
7. A 'quintillion' is an elephantine, mammoth number. (That's a momentous lot of pachyderm.)
8. Bloated plungers who demonstrate undisciplined belly-flopping will earn few diving medals at the Athens Olympics.
9. 85570039 is exactly divisible by 53.
10. "The Royal Shakespeare Company" is an anagram of "One may appear there as Shylock"; composed by Meyran Kraus in June 2001, this won best overall anagram in the Grand Anagrammies.
