I’m (we’re) not voting (never have!) but I hope a special award is given out to meanmistermustard & all the rest of the mods/helpers who spent a weekend in the summer heroically rebuilding the “Beatles Dreams” thread. Truly inspiring work – even if it did result in that lazy-fingered mr. Sun king coming together’s post-count being reduced by 68 or so! :D

You actually spoiled my surprise, I was/am going to include that. :-)

Of course they will! For a start, this website has big plans for the ceremony. They will be showing all the sparkly dresses (men) and black-tie suits (women) on the Sea Of Holes (that we try to avoid dropping through) carpet as we arrive to act dignified at our lack of Golden B’s! Do you think the six-inch heels I’m planning on are too much? They go with a mid-thigh little black dress. Should I shave my legs for the cameras?

I thought of @mentioning people in the awards announcement, but I was afraid they’d be getting a zillion notifications every time someone quoted the post. So I’ll do it here:

In case you missed it, please collect your award! @Joe @Starr Shine? @Zig @Ron Nasty @Ahhh Girl @meanmistermustard @Expert Textpert @AppleScruffJunior @trcanberra @Necko @HeyTrud @Von Bontee @vonbontee @LittleBeatlemaniac @LongHairedLady 

Edit: The awards post was edited to add Annadog’s co-contributors on the Beatles Bible Stories: @AppleScruffJunior @thisbirdhasflown @Mr. Kite 

Congrats!

Thanks to everyone who voted! I’m glad the turnout was even better than last year. Well done everyone who won. I’ll print mine out and blow it up to poster size and put it on the mantelpiece in my living room.

Thanks too to @parlance for doing this so well. Great job.

For 2015, assuming it still goes ahead, perhaps someone could set up a Google doc to administer it, which would make collating the results a lot easier. It might get more responses too. I’ll leave this here: https://support.google.com/doc…..7809?hl=en
