Thank you very much for voting! :)

[Girl-with-the-Thorn]

The 'paint' thread is great fun and allowed me to while away many idle hours during the summer, so that got my vote. :thumb:

Happy Lovers United & Lifeguard On Duty, without a doubt

[CrookedLittleVein]

The Andrew Collins thread. No contest. Lots of incisive comment. Worm's contributions were particularly strong. Collins put up a spirited defence and came across well but, ultimately (and inevitably), lost the fight.

Don't forget to vote, Barking.

The Frink Club Fight Thread was supposed to be a joke, but turned into something awful. I can't believe it was even nominated. It should be buried.

:laughing: If it were 'Post of the Year', this would be my nomination.

[CrystalGeezer]

Barking, you sure have a talent for picking the ugliest fonts ever. Your graphic design skillz are amazing to me, I actually look forward to your little creations. :p Not that they're bad, they're consistantly bizarre which I love.

[gretchenraine]

:laughing: If it were 'Post of the Year', this would be my nomination.

And I would second that nomination.

Because I'm daft, I'll take that as a compliment. :guitar: You know, I just click at random in the list of Paint fonts. As they're not displayed in the font they refer to, it's like being a blind man with a box of chocolates. :thumb: A surprise every time!


Don't forget to vote, Barking.

Okay. I didn't see my tits in any of these threads so I voted for Snooty's décolleté.

What choice do we ever have? :tears:

I nominated it, because it was hilarious. Schadenfreude. If you don't like it, vote for something else. :thumb::thumb::thumb:

[bailiffwithbadbreath]

I would nominate the 'Black Cloud' sleeve thread. Mainly because it's the first good thread I've seen on this site. My vote goes to Lorimoz's sleeve. It's enigmatic and beautiful.

Given how much better most of these designs are than Morrissey's recent singles sleeves, perhaps he should let this website design all his record sleeves in future.

Barky, for a dog, you do allright. You got my vote. That thread was great. It could have not been any better if she responded herself.

eh? Who, me? (there's a Barky who isn't me you know Mozmic, and went to a gig in California apparently, which proves it's not a dog at all. )(I know, confusing).
Did you vote for Barky or for me? And who is "she"? Snooty, or Snoopy?

(Massages forehead)

(PS: You know, I saw that gif.:straightface: I thought of using it myself for a sig. :straightface:And then I thought, no, it's too rude for Msolo.:straightface: And here you are. Bless you.) (I have to find that pic of Brian with a Martini now...).


edit: that pic would have been so much better if Snooty'd been holding an Italian ice cream/with a beach background/ and Morrissey saying "honey, I don't remember, where did we park the kids?". Not that I suggest anyone to Photoshop it.:straightface:

[mozmic_dancer]

I apologize Barking, using your full Christian name this time, for causing so much confusion for you. I tend to dance all over the place. I know very well how I got my name.

The "she" I referred to was "Snooty" or the devil herself. The post I voted for was the PA one and lastly, your little photo won my heart.

Too early for photoshop. Your mistress needs some coffee first. Rock on.

I really wish I hadn't seen that pic....:squiffy:

[celibate]

the real one isn't there

his most cancelled shows in a [short] tour

[well he just finished refusal']

and he played Pittsburgh [or was that 2008?]

[mcrickson]

and he played Pittsburgh [or was that 2008?]

That was this year. St. Patrick's Day. I was there. :guitar:

My favorite by far was iwanttocry's 'Extract of forthcoming autobiography - Tate St Ives exhibition book'

But 'stuff drawn in paint' was great too!

You know you keep me hanging on.

Also I am sorry that picture is so disturbing to some of you.:tears: It's reality folks.
-It hurts to remember how Snooty landed the job in the first place...Robbie Williams's assistant seemed too nice and had to be spared the horror of working for Moody. (wasn't it?) (or was it because of Snooty's Superior Skills and Sexiness? I forget.)

(Snooty is so...Snooty could stop the sun from shining. She could. :eek:)

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

gosh people, i like those songs too, and its gr8 that so many thought to congratulate dizzywhore_1804 for uploading them :thumb:
i didnt think to do that :o oh, i guess i did right now :eek::lbf:
anyways, but as threads go, its not really the kind of thread to make "thread of the year" since most of it is just thank yous and new links :straightface:
anyways, i voted for the thread where David T posted to it, that does not happen often enough :guitar:

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

Maybe I'm snooty too... I voted for "What the He11 Is Wrong With Music Today" thread. Much more mileage there, and just enough snark to spark. It's the internet, you can't have a thread about bread without someone getting snippy and at least one grammar or punctuation correction. :rolleyes:

Have you actually read the thread from the begining?

Set the record straight, dizzy poated a thread asking someone to upload the download links, mortorways obliged to do so.

All of us have to thank mortorways and some others who actually uploaded the download links.

[troubleluvsme]

I nominate the Diet Coke Thread.

[Jukebox Jury]

This thread is so last year:thumb:

Well, it's clear you don't know the rules of capitalization, or when and where to include a period in a sentence.

I noe!

Congratulations to 'Happy Lovers United and Lifeguard On Duty', particularly motorways and people who uploaded the download links.

Thank you very much for taking in part. :)
