It might be one of the shorter months, but it looks like we have had record numbers of subs and headlines. James_doc has pulled out all the stops, scoring an incredible 56 points. Well done James. Deskpilot and eppusimouove have been running neck and neck through the month, with Desky pulling ahead by one point. Wren and mcdabble have also been in a slug-fest, too.
As usual, the cartoon of the month is below the full list of links to this month's subs and is itself followed by the full list of headlines.
