			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well done to Phil Da Greek and thackaray for their winning story &#8211; Ryan Air to Charge for &#8216;Emotional Baggage&#8217;.  It was a close and well fought race with &#8216;Toddlers admit failed strategy in War on Pigeons&#8217; often level pegging until a late surge for the RyanAir story finally clinched it in the last few days&#8230; It is particularly gratifying that the winning story was one that came out of an idea that was subsequently improved by collaboration on the submissions board, and the story has just featured in the New York Times.  Thanks to everyone who voted, and we may do this monthly or quarterly or at least more than once a year if we can get our heads round this polling programme&#8230;</p>
