Good thread Jeremy!!!  Name the guilty men...

My own favourites:

"Perfect intonation" (8th out of 10 - Brighton '91 I think)

"If I adjudicated the same contest tommorow the results might be 
completely different"  (lots of contests - I translate as "I don't 
really know what I'm supposed to be listening for...")
