So far everyone I know who's tried it is a Bobbing Bobcat.

No sheep were harmed in the making of this thread.

Fifth try Rocketing Rabbit.  I'll say one thing, if that one sheep was playing football he would be called for a false start!!! :D

0.061 was my flukey best for one brave wooley mammals, but otherwise I was distinctly average bobcat-ish... ;D

(I wonder if there's a Welshman just off the screen...


...why else would they run? ;) ;D ;D ;D)

I won't mention velcro gloves...

Just done the same! Pure luck that as I clicked having got a 3 second penalty, it darted the next one! ;D

Hi CD.
Mine is simmilar in consistentcy at 1am and no sleep in 19 hours. All but one within a thousandth or two. Slightly fast than yours as I dont drink ;) But still it is amazing the differance tiredness makes. From averaging .125 it jumps to .200 with times of:
.186
.188
.193
.245
.193

And thats why I try not to drive after 10 at night. ;)
