Don't worry whiskey, there's always next week!

And here we are on that lovely Caribbean Island of Sapos, where the SAP clubbers are meeting for their annual race. And as they gather on the start line for this massive event we see that not all SAPpers are lining up. Let’s just count... oh it seems that some have not made the start line, here’s the very latest news... some SAPpers are still in their hotel rooms and they are going to miss this race... oh well, they will have to make do with squashing some bugs and collecting some coins when they get back home. At least they are getting a good rest day in :)

Let’s pan back to the start line, and we still have a good line-up: Enriak, Duchess, BT2, Mizzie, Geordiegirl and Bambi1. And they’re off!

Enriak is strangely silent, as he sets off at a singeing 10:06 pace.

BT2 follows closely behind at 10:36, skipping through the (Waves), the (Whisper) of a breeze around her flowing and (Wonderful ) hair.

Geordiegirl is next in line, ambling along at 10:48, she would have been a bit faster but she’s just had her (lunch) and feels a bit full up. She holds a placard up “Spread the (love)” and sings a (lively) tune as she slowly makes her way to the finish line.

Bambi1 is next, she’s slowed down to 12:57 to climb a palm tree, and from (high) up she throws the (heart) of a coconut straight at the (head) of the SAPper following her!

However, this ploy doesn’t pan out, as Duchess, motoring at 13:30, with a (lethal) (laugh), uses her driving license as a coconut bat to deflect the missile, and keeps her impressive 3rd from last place.

TT , running at 14.36 pace, (truculent) as ever, complains at the (texture) of her (turn)ip. Well, who wouldn’t?

And in last place the SAP winner this week, is Mizzy, who saunters across the line with a breathtaking time of 15:12 to the applause of all. She is awarded a wonderful prize: a plate of (pancakes) by the famous band The Caribbean (Purring) Kittens. This girl really does show (promise).

Congratulations Mizzy, SAPper of the week!
