Competition!
For "Marketing Update" Subscribers Only

Which bird or animal does the Webmaster remind you of - and why?

The bird or animal doesn't have to be shown on this page.

Entries will be judged on flattery, insults, humour or ingenuity - and the Webmaster's decision is final!

I'll award a nice little prize (yet to be decided) to the winner in each of the two categories (birds and animals).
