Re: The Mentulls

Congratulations to all nominees; that's a fine bunch to be rubbing shoulders with.....wouldn't like the job of picking the winner.

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.
