Paranoid Dave · 29-02-2004, 09:03 PM

I'm happy to start the nominations, I'm sure there are many more names that can be added but here's a start.

entertaining = diogenes and didge. both spend far too much time on the net looking at things so idiotic it defies belief

and kindly sharing them with us.

Oooh, so many new people. Proto, saxman, sprintbint and drucilla, oh and diogenes too, oh yeh and Julie and Ruth, all worthy of this award. Banshee too if enthusiasm counts

All have appeared in the last year though it seems like some have been around for ever

I can think of several deserving anoraks in the club, lets face it, where would we be without them. M900Dom, Duncan, oh and don't forget AK

Unsung hero - oh these are getting tougher. Le Marsu and any others who work on the website for a start.

best post, I'm voting for the creator of the post rather than the post itself.
Can anyone remember when Didge's 'fart' was posted???
Sprintbint's 'claim to fame' was popular as is Phoenix's 'lets see you'.

I'm now off to cool my brain in a bucket of water, too much thinking hurts y'know.

NattyBoy · 29-02-2004, 09:31 PM

Didge for most entertaining - and nobody ever asked him what his DILLIGAF caption meant under his name !!! Your genius is lost on us mere mortals mate !!!

Me for golden anorak (cant believe I was dishing out recommendations for bleeding model kits)

Me for the most annoying/pain in the arse monstershop customer (you love me really Lee!!)

Duncan and phoenix for unsung heros....loads of quality rideouts last year due to the former, and the latter for getting me home 60 miles on a snapped throttle cable, with only a sainsburys carrier bag and a leatherman tool (dont ask!!!)..

New members - Proto - An absoloute shed load of stick for banging on about hornets..we (me included!) effectivley tell him to bugger off..and what does he do?? Sticks his vees up at us all, flogs the hornet, and upgrades his monster to a 900ie !!! Good man !!!!

Oh,, and CK .... for a 'backbone of the club' award. Always posting, always helpful, and always organising summat.

Think ive made a few categories up there..whoops !

Sounds like itll be a larf on the night this ... especially after a few shandies...good idea!!!

Most entertaining contributor to the forum. Didge or Dio

Most Welcome Newcomer. banshee

Golden Anorak Award. Gotta be Duncan I think

Unsung Hero of the Club. Someone who turns up and supports the events. No point organising without these people. JR springs to mind. Or as previously suggested the guys running the site without whom we wouldn't be having this discussion

Most Memorable Post. The one which degenerated into fish puns!!!!:lol:

As for gubbiest bike, sorry Doug that's gotta be mine. The engine was recently described as "looking like it has come from the bottom of the sea"
