Again, thanks for the votes people it's really appreciated. To anyone who missed out narrowly, or otherwise, do not despair, because I'm testament to the fact that any idiot can win one of these, in fact being an idiot has more than likely worked in my favour.
So, keep posting, your forum needs you.
Big thanks to BS & their babes for presenting the awards, & forum awards for your great work.
Lastly, instead of posting in the What Did You Last Eat Thread, I'll share with you here that during today's awards ceremony I was busy preparing, cooking & eating a WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.

darren73 still has a long streak of being a finalist though (x9 Picture Poster). That's surely a record as I don't think anyone can beat that, unless possibly it's skully in the avatar award as he always seems to be a finalist there.
^ It's all about the bribes, slip people some pickled eggs and they'll do you a favour or twelve
In the true spirit of evolution it is a source of both pride in this place and relief at it's judgement that I celebrate the crowning of the 2022 Poster of the year.
This forum matters to me enormously because it has been a true friend and a source of salvation, light relief and constructive debate.
As the babeshows evolve this forum also evolves.
Life outside is also ever changing.
By definition the tone of the place changes taking all that into account.
I can think of no better figurehead of the written post in terms of style, wit and self deprecating sincerity than Boomer.
It would have been a gross failure for this place imo had he not topped the vote especially if that old git Snooks had done so instead.
Times change and we must adapt with those times.
The maintained existence of this forum genuinely means the world to me.
It beats in my heart and burns in my soul because of all the times it has been there for me at my lowest ebbs.
It does however need figureheads of gravitas, humility and sincerity.
This year two of the ultimate figureheads to my mind have both won awards.
Boomer is the first. Someone I am proud to call a fellow Poster of the year.
For character, for decency and for kindness. There is no finer ambassador for the written post than him and I am satisfied a good and worthy deed has been done in awarding him the much deserved title.
The other figurehead I must mention after all these years is Skully.
Whatever the category won is somewhat irrelevant.
Skully is that most trusted confidant of unimpeachable integrity and distinction. A source of sound advice and infinite wisdom.
I have no need for brown envelope bribery to say that because I know it to be true. He is a winner this year but more importantly a champion of this forum, all it stands for and all it could ever seek to be.
This place is a community and Skully represents genuine leadership of it.
Through all the years I have been here there is nobody I have looked up to more and had higher respect for. The forum has been in excellent hands by virtue of the impeccable example he has set.
Some new winners this year too. Very pleasing to see.
Although the babeshows are not the beast they used to be this forum is stronger than ever and I am proud to have seen it change, evolve and progress all these years. I have had more than my fair share of forum time in the sun and feel incredibly lucky because of that.
But my time has come and gone. It is entirely right and proper that more worthy souls now move the place on to higher plains.
With Skully and Boomer as worthy figureheads I am heartily satisfied that ambition is not merely achievable but likely.
^^ Thanks for tip Skully, it would seem Snooks is also a fan of pickled eggs.
