Person,
People or Thing You’d Most Like to See Set Upon By a Pack of Wolves
Obvious, but
Johnson/Gove/Davis/Fox. The Peter Principle in full and horrifying effect.

The
Winning Thing You’d Most Recommend Your Fellow Judges to Own/Have/Consume/Do
Horrors (and back catalogue)/Richard
Ford (and back catalogue).
I'm already familiar with the Horrors (and back catalogue) AND have gone for a very utilitarian hair cut of late so I'll have to order a Richard Ford from t'library then it's over to Raymond for my 'follow the main recommendations' policy.
