'Most Prodigious Poster' goes to Oracle et al, for her never ending stream of high quality posts, which are full of humour, passion and words not many of us can understand.
There is a prize for this award: a Voucher for 3 months' NHS treatment for RSI, which has kindly been donated by Talisker. He said something about, 'well, at least it keeps her out of the way' - unless I misherad him, of course
The 'Take it Like a Man' award goes to Paphitis, who handled the revelation from a fellow Forum member that he and the other 40,759 members of the Forum were not 'true Cypriots', in a stoic and unflinching manner.
When asked for a reaction to this devastating news he replied:' Pass another tinnie, Sheila...'
The award for the 'Most positive contribution to Religious harmony', goes to Aiden, who, in spite of being a staunch Protestant, never failed, in his posting, to make reference to Roman Catholisism and the Pope.
The award for the 'People keep telling us we have bought on stolen land, but we will tough it out on the Forum anyway' goes to Rosenachan. Shame they misunderstand the situation in Sri Lanka
The award for the 'Most balanced and fair-minded posts' goes to Talisker. Shame he misunderstands the situation in Israel
The 'Daft Slavic Bint' award for greatest abuse of a Moderator goes to... No, I shall not bother to name him/her.
Finally, the Premier Award, for the 'Best researched, informative and well written posts' which have include superb syntax and excellent parsing of sentences, goes, once again, to Svetlana.
<<Emmy Award mode on>> I would like to thank my Forum members, my Mother, my Father (whom I would love to meet), my dog and my fellow Party Members of Number 14, Tractor Assembly Co-Operative in Minsk.......Oooops, must go, the nice young man in the white coat is coming to take me for my daily basket weaving class.
