Since Bruce marshall used to run this award every year and invariably awarded it to himself, its fallen on me when i remember to carry it on.

A bit like the Oscars - this coveted annual award is rather belated. Wouldve been announced sooner but was waiting for votes from the winner's mum. It finally arrived.

This year's overall winner is Prince Damian. For his endless humour in a desert for mirth. Never deterred, often deliciously inappropriate, and funniest of all when people "dont get" his gags or take umbrage at his humour. Glorious.

Damian helps make the place worth catching up on. And his knowledge of all things Italian is impressive. The award itself is in the post - so your statuette will probably arrive next january like a christmas card with a 2nd class stamp on! Or never. You also win a week's camping holiday in the Outer Hebrides in February and "this lovely lounge suite" (ie: any Ennio Lounge stuff u want sent as a joined-up download) lol.

Special mentions goes to Adam for his generous giveaways that he doesnt have to do, to Bob as always, for his effort in the obit threads, Dragon for his regular updates, and Musicmad Mitch for his hilarious reverse ratings of movies. wink Lol.
Nods n thanks also to Lukas and Allardyce for keeping the place going.

The category of "great members, but should post more please and not give up" was particularly well-subscribed. At Carson towers we could not separate the candidates, so joint award goes to Les Jepson, Tallguy, DiB, joan hue, bond1965, manderley, edw, Roy Donga, Stephen woolston, Saul, Big Jim W, Cinemascope, Oct, Laurent and Henry Morricone, and all the Morriconians who are overrun by a "swarm" of Goldsmithians, Barryistas and Star wars nuts (its an illness, you know) wink
But, regrettably, you all missed out on the camping holiday but you get to keep the status.

However, the category for "should post less" was a much larger pool than that. Lol wink

Congrats to Damian, a worthy winner in a long line of suspect voting.

big grin

Aw, shucks.
First of all I'd like to thank my manager, for, er managing, Morry for endless unwanted publicity ,.................. 2 hours later after endless bull, thanks.
But seriously, or not, I have a simple philosophy- if I make one person laugh( in these trying times) then huzzah. If not new material( or old, rewritten differently).
Now I should have read all the above 'after' eating my soup. One more item for the wash.

Oh, like a serious rash I'm not going away.
big grin

And Bill , better late than never. As the nurse said to my mum, when I was born.

Damian?

Oh. That’s embarrassing. Okay (backs away, sits down)

Maybe they are sitting in a sack somewhere in a skip outside a post office ?

Possibly it was the volume of protest howls at the committee's decision. wink

I think you need to be more concerned with hyperthermia than camp impressions.

It was a fixed election! I demand a recount. I saw my non-vote tossed into the trash bin!

Special mention goes to Adam for his generous giveaways that he doesn't have to do...

Thank you, Bill. I do have to do it, though. Certain members of this board have something on me and I'm being blackmailed.

Too right! Bloody hanging chads.

I feel some empathy with The Donald now.

Oversight committee looked at this when they sat earlier and they have corrected the omission. wink

Thanks for the honourable (horrible?) mention, Bill. I'm relieved the postal order made it in time -- I sent it down the A1 on a packmule rather than trust Royal Mail.
