Once again my pm box is open for votes for the Best Couple category. I would post this half an hour later at midnight BST, but I do have to be somewhere else soon, so I will post this notice now.
Vote for up to five couples and you can always send me separate pms if you can't think of 5 all at once.
Remember pm me the votes by midnight Sunday BST and no voting for yourselves once again. Vote only for couples who are still couples right now.

Here are some suggestions in no particular order:-


1. Trebor & cheeble
2. Car Expert & hellokitty
3. Saxophonist & Helen
4. scotty_doesnt_know & CrazyDudette22
5. Oddball & nicki_flute
6. Choddy & crazy_purple_piano_freak
7. Bob & Lady Bobbington
8. Noodelz & purple dolphin
9. Pianist_1210 & Izzy
10. Kenm & dacapo
11. YetAnotherPianist & AnotherPianist
12. Hammerklavier & Cyrilla


*edit:- whoops! Should be correct now. smile.gif

By the way, I was the one who made the list, and I PMed it to Ann to publish in this thread. I thought AIC & APF mentioned in last year's Best Couple poll that they were a couple, just wanted to double-check. smile.gif

Have PMed you Ann. smile.gif

I love them both. Perhaps "best trio" might be more apt? wink.gif

That would be an interesting pairing, seeing as one of us lives in Hampshire and the other in N. Ireland. wink.gif

We are now reasonably established duet partners at Forums concerts (next performance: Woodford), but I'm not sure that qualifies us as a couple! unsure.gif ohmy.gif

I think GC and MrB would be a good nomination... tongue.gif

This discussion shows a little confusion over what constitutes a couple. Does anyone have a definition?
mrbouffant
Clearly, a couple of swells...
sarah-flute
Spot the organist! *grin*
violin-ann
Ok ok, I guess we can only have a male and female couple by the looks of the votes. So we shall continue that way smile.gif

Yes , That's pretty strange ... huh.gif
violin-ann
well no one has voted for the same gendered couple so... huh.gif
Whoa that word isn't allowed here! The one that sounds like sax. laugh.gif
crazy_purple_piano_freak
Are we allowed to vote for ourselves by the way? unsure.gif
sarah-flute
As far as I know: votes for yourself in the PM nominations will be ignored. No one can stop you voting for yourself on the poll though, I guess.

No, even on this category.

Yup, the vote for yourself will just be ignored, so it's no point anyway. smile.gif

Still thinking noodlewoodle? wink.gif

violin-ann
I think the time is right to close the pm voting. Anyway, I think most folk are asleep now and wouldn't be sending me their votes.
katyjay
Ann, it's just gone 11pm, not midnight yet.
violin-ann
Ok sorry! The clock on the fora shows 10pm to me.. so that got me a little confused. Although I did make the settings to BST like CE told me to, it doesn't seem to make any difference.
nicki_flute
Yes, definitely 23:15 here in the UK
violin-ann
Ok now it really is more than time to close the pm nominations.
