… and to keep you off the streets – to keep you off them for any nefarious purpose, I mean, not in the proper exercise of your democratic rights, or pursuit of other legitimate activities and aims, including all harmless forms of messing about – I invite you to try your hand at predicting, in rank order, the three top movies in the normblog Favourite Movies of All Time poll. I’ll tell you this much: the first- and second-placed movies are way out ahead of the rest of the field, each having secured a vote from roughly 1 in 5 of all entrants. The third-placed movie only just has its nose in front of the chasing pack.
Sender of the first completely correct prediction gets to nominate the charity (within reason – reason as adjudicated by me) to which I’ll donate 50 ruboolas. If there is no completely correct prediction, then I’ll donate 25 of the same ruboolas for the sender of the nearest to correct prediction, provided that the interpretation of ‘nearest to correct’ doesn’t prove too difficult; and in that event I’ll look for some benign resolution. ‘Ruboolas’, here, to be interpreted as pounds sterling.
