Swiers

1. A hard choice but I believe Boxy needs a rest and AHLG might get brow beaten by the Big Bad Grinch... that basically leaves Swiers who I suspect might withdraw rather than waste his valuable time on this shit magnet of a job! Still the best candidate of the three and if he wants the job he is certainly qualified.--Honestmistake 14:26, 23 September 2008 (BST)
