Re: The Mentulls

Probably right Martin, I'm just proud and delighted for Andrew to be nominated. Very pleased for Virgel too.

One I've not heard - Yet! One I've heard bits of. One I highly respect and Three I'd happily have a drink with...

Doesn't get easier, does it?

Re: The Mentulls

Absolutley, I am in know way knocking any nominees. Awards are funny things, how can you say who is best. They are all worthy. And of course I would be chuffed if V won. I could go on but I am going sound like I am being an arse if I do. It's a conversation to have over a pint;)
Atleast this year the voting is a little more secure, with voters having to confirm email addresses.
