Okay, bear with me here.
Wimbledon are the only English club to have done this 7 years in a row.
Stranraer are the only Scottish club to have done this 7 years in a row, and it's looking likely that they might make it a mighty 8.
Do what precisely?

Spot on. And a bit easy probably.
Still, I don't want to take the shine off your achievements. You worked hard, you put in 100% and noone can ask any more from the lad.
Er. Over to you

let's hope Stranraer can stay up this year
can't think of a good Q. sorry.
except something horribly niche: what is the longest number of letters in a word allowed on word soup SWP.
if anyone has a better Q pls go for it.

I'd hope that antidisestablishmentarianism would be allowed as that is popularly known as an example of a very long word, so I'll go for 28 letters.
Although knowing some of the words that it does allow I wouldn't be too surprised if it was happy with antidisestablishmentarianismisticalicitinesses.

Craps.. I remember last week pressing tiles until it refused any more.. but can't recall how many I had when it stopped (I was very, very drunk). So, I will guess 28.

Cardinal wins by being the most improbably sad and trying it.
BlackMogu comes close and Civ can have an apple off the sideboard.

I'm going to pass my question onto Blackmogu since he was sad enough to try and it, whereas I'm only sad enough to read Word-up posts where other people have tried it.
(And I can't think of a question).
Could it be, Istenem, that on our 77th Phoenix, we've run out of ideas?

i'm not at work but, if i was, i'd have Isty's bumper book of facts behind me.
the only Q i can think of is about one of clinton's backroom staff who is called randy bumgardner. i think it is the december shatteredness rather than running out.
anyway Mogu...

well since Mogu is not around, i'll do one.
Ziad Fazah is a semi-fictional person who was in the guinness book of records for which feat of applied memory?
