Hello! Signing up to take Sections A for the PPL transcribe-a-thon (NBWM is joining us!) please! Google Sheets, please!

Hello Jkizzie! Google sheets it is then! Ah - I've got two transcribers already here (arboggs and marmaduke). I just spotted that you're all interested in a few others - I'll rattle around those for you now
