Boarder of the month!

Well, it's been a grim, grim, seven days.  The Hutton whitewash, the deaths on the hajj, Blair refusing to take his tongue out of Bush's rectum, and some boarders (yours truly not excepted) going bonkers and saying rude things.

But there have been many, many boarders who stayed out of it, whose good humour and sanity have brightened all our lives.  

In honour of these, I propose an experimental "Boarder of the Month" poll.  Here are the rules (you gotta have rules!)

1) You may nominate one fellow boarder and one boarder only.

2) Politely, you are asked not to nominate boarders you know socially.

3) If you give reasons you must make them nice ones: only praise will count.

4) Nominations for Rebellion employees &/or 2000AD creators will not count.

I'll tally up the votes when I feel that everyone who's going to contribute has contributed, and the winner will get a *very* small prize (tbc).

I vote for Woolly, who is seemingly the nicest person ever...

Krustabi

Can we also vote for a #2 and #3, as this would lead to a broader cross-section of public opinion?...

Dudley

One man, one vote.  Saves time, makes it clearer, shows why I'm not going to win...

:)

(Incidentally, PLEASE don't put up reasons why this is a bad idea.  If you don't like it, just ignore it).

I vote for me, because I'm fantastic.

Has anyone noticed that Cadbury's have discontinued Taz bars and now have "Freddo with caramel" instead. Cadbury's are obviously fleecing us because Freddo is a smaller shape than Taz and thus there is less chocolate and caramel for our hard-earned ten pence...

Anyone else been fleeced recently?

Another vote for PVS. The man tries to inspire 2000ad related debate and ends up being mercilessly shot down by the boards version of the Chuckle Brothers.

My vote (I get one, like anyone else), goes to Byron Virgo.

Funny, well-thought out posts that always have me clicking open the thread.

Matt Timson

How galling- I'm afraid my vote will have to go with 'the misery' as well.
Pffft...

Dunk!

I vote PVS

He maintained a level of dignity and logic in the face of direct abuse and then put in a juicy and heartfelt ?Fuck off? just when it was needed. Brought a smile to my face.

(My vote may not count ?cos PVS is the only boarder I?ve actually spoken to at a con, albeit briefly, oh two cons in fact. Is that socialising?)
"Trust we"

Dudley

That's definitely not socialising.  

However, the jury considers that votes for PVS by Solar Wind (genius 70's homage comic available from many good bookstores and PVS!) contributors may be eliminated in the final count.  This also counts for votes for Art by FutureQuake (genius collection of short sci-fi self-contained shocks, available from www.smallzone.com) contributors.

Voters who feel they may be included in these categories are politely asked to consider changing their votes...

Trout

Just simplify it, folks.

Vote for me.

I'm great.
