The EDF Gongs...

[red devil]

It's that time of year again when the Government gladhands and backslaps the great and good amongst us...that's overpaid celebrities to you and me.

So, here are some nominations for our very own gongs...feel free to add your own, but keep it friendly(ish)...

For Services to Diplomacy - joint nomination, Otta and Jeremy, the voices of reason. Although I'm a bit worried that they both play in a rock band, shouldn't you be spitting and snarling a bit more chaps?

Best Restauarant/Pub Reviewer - Sue and her smiley faces. Perhaps Sue can incorpoarte a smiley face rating system :)) :)) :))

For Services to Comedy - humour is subjective, but *Bob*, as well as tickling the ivories, can tickle my funny bone anytime.

For Services to Longevity - The Song Thread, the Fleetwood Mac of the forum, it never fecking dies. Although handy if you've got nothing to say but still want to top up your posting score.

Thread of the Year - tricky one, there isn't a stand-out candidate, but the Fois Gras thread keeps on giving...even on Christmas Day.

Thread of the Year - surely the (now deleted) shenanigans at The V***

" Although I'm a bit worried that they

spitting and snarling a bit more chaps?"

Although our music is much rockier, I see myself as more like a geezer out of Quo.

[red devil]

The Quo weren't shrinking violets back in the day. They once made a 'guest appearance' in a porn mag in the 70's. And Francis and the boys liked nothing better than a good communal 'polish'...

One of the guys we knew had a Cine 8 projector, with these [porn] films. Everyone would check into the Central Hotel in Bielefeld, get a towel, and come back to one of the rooms. The projector was set up so it'd go on to the net curtains ? but it would also project across the street. We didn't know this. Everyone would be on the bed, having "a polish". You did everything in each other's company, so having a polish was nothing to worry about.

Other than the "communal" part, I see nothing that suggests they are not fine role models.

Thread of the Year - surely Iceland and M&S debate - dealing with (ad infinitum) subjects close to our collective hearts.

Love/Hate relationship of the year(s) = Quids & Strafer.

I thought I'd been a bit more confrontational recently. Obviously not trying hard enough...

[Jah Lush]

For outstanding contributions to belligerence and arrogance goes to Undisputed Truth.

I have to give props to *Bob* as well. He can debate without being insulting and be witty without being cruel. All-around charming.

Not to mention esoteric soul music and expensive denim trouserings... maybe it's the season but *sniff* I kinda miss him.
