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.

Edited to add another smiley face :))

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.

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.

    • Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.
    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
