Rainbowtrout, I think yesterday you put through with a final vote Gary Numan's Are Friends Electric, but I don't think it came up in any of the round 3 matches. . . Not that it matters much anyway, I couldn't see it progressing any further

Yes I did and then it was pointed out to me that it was beaten in the qualifiers by Angie/Rolling Stones. I had marked Angie as the winner of the match, but put the scores in the wrong way around on my spreadsheet, and put AFE through by accident. Given that I had to make the choice of which one to put through last night, I figured the fairest way to sort it out was to reinstate Angie.
