Whathifi.com New Years Honours List

[Clare Newsome]

plastic penguin:Clare Newsome:

Well we've all seen the official New Years Honours list... thought it would be fun to do one of our own.

Suggestions, please, for whom on the Forums should be honoured, and why. Play nicely, please, and remember house rules

My first suggestions:

Gel - for services to 2008-vintage Pioneer

Andrew Everard - for services to science (in discovering how to fully function without sleep)

Andy Clough - for services to animals (CMS-taming!)

JD and Austin - for keeping the site moving and us (mostly) sane

The concept sounds brilliant, however, I think picking most employees of The Towers is the easy [and correct] choices.

Better choice would be Chebby, pjpro, Igglebert, idc and others who make the forum what it is today. I'm of the firm belief that if the forum wasn't such a runaway success, then, probably, JD would be working elsewhere.

Which is why we sincerely thanked every last one of you in our Christmas and New Year message. This thread was just supposed to be a bit of fun

I know it's all fun....honest. Wouldn't be a bland forum if we all nodded in the same direction?

Personally I don't think it's right to single out any one person as it smacks of favouritism and teacher's pet.

Oooo, multiple awards then. I want to nominate gpi for best avatar.

Everyone on here has their own area of expertise, so shouldn't any future awards be made accordingly?

 

[Andrew Everard]

There aren't any awards - as Clare said, it was just a bit of fun

 

[idc]

If I offer to pay for my honour, just like the one the Queen gives out, can I still get one?

I can come to What hifi Towers, we can all dress up and Clare can do the stuff with the sword.

idc:Clare can do the stuff with the sword.

You want to be careful what you wish for.

Ah, is that how she gets you to do things?

 

[Andrew Everard]

The keyboard is mightier...

 

[Andy Clough]

Oh yes, "Off with his head" is a familiar refrain round these parts.

 

[idc]

I've got a light saber if Clare would prefer that.

Not in my hands it's not. I can type all the right letters but not necessarily in the... 😱)

IDC- you obviously have not read Mandela's autobiography!
