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.

(I will update it as I get votes)

I've sent you a PM, by the way you put the list in the last post twice.

Do you know that andy-piano-flute is a woman?

Plus you've done the list twice

I think APF & AinC were nominated last time 'cos of their brilliant duet at Woodford.

I laughed when I saw 2 lists...lol Didn't think there were that many couples

Vote for me and Nick!

Vote for Boo and Booette - my imaginary forum friend.

I nominate GC and diapason! two organly coves if ever I met them

Exclude GC from any pairing of the sort.

Abstainingly,
GC

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.

Have PMed you Ann.

Car Expert

Oi, you two! Leave my friend diapason alone, or I shall nominate mrbouffant and GC as the best couple

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

GC is not amused at being paired with another male!!!

Uncoupled-ly,
GC

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

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

You said this in last year's awards thread.

Car Expert

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

This discussion shows a little confusion over what constitutes a couple. Does anyone have a definition?

Clearly, a couple of swells...

Spot the organist! *grin*

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

You might want to pm me fast, noodllewoodle, before you forget!

That's scandalous. This is the 21st century, dudes!

Yes , That's pretty strange ...

well no one has voted for the same gendered couple so...
Whoa that word isn't allowed here! The one that sounds like sax.

Are we allowed to vote for ourselves by the way?

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.

Car Expert

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

Still thinking noodlewoodle?

And the updated list of people who have pm-ed me their nominations are:-


kayladavies
jo.clarinet
barry-clari
sarah-flute
Car Expert
La Chopiniste
katyjay

There's still two more days to think of your nominees! So get those thinking caps on.

Hurry, you still have a couple of hours to send in your votes!

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.

Ann, it's just gone 11pm, not midnight yet.

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.

Yes, definitely 23:15 here in the UK

Ok now it really is more than time to close the pm nominations.
