Gosh, thanks for all those votes, folks.

And a very special well done and thank you to Car for all the work you've put in to create such a wonderful evening.

Can I ask how many points I got? You can PM me if you like? Can't believe so many people vote for me!

what category did I get votes for????

And that's the awards ceremony complete. Now the aftershow party!

*gets some alcohol*

*opens another case of champagne* Who needs a refill?

WOOOOO!!

PARTY TIME!

do we get a new thread for the party?

See Post#460 I'll tell you via PM tomorrow

Car Expert

Well I can too now, "Cocks", see? They're still crowing strong!

No, we can continue here.

Car Expert

I will try... Cocks



WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*get's even more drunk and passes out onto the floor*

And you've come just in time for the party! How was Runescape?

I think I might pass out from playing runescape and being the co-host all night Worse than Amber, I haven't drunk any alchohol yet!

Alas, my chariot awaits.

[in walks two drop-dead gorgeous men in tuxedos bearing a stretcher between them. They lift Amber ceremoniously onto it, rearranging her gown to afford a modicum of decency, brush a couple of stray wisps of blonde curls from her face, about turn and carry her carefully but nevertheless majestically out of the Forum Cafe Hall]

Bi bi everyone, I love you all so much, you're such shpecial shpecial people

bi bi



bi bi



ciao my bellas

I need to find some alcohol I like

try some champagne truffles!

Car Expert

I'm off too!

*exits less ceremoniously, clutching a third bottle of Bell's*

Not been on Runescape today.
Daughter came with baby this morning, had to do some practice then I was accompanying a grade 2 sax exam.
We stopped off for tea on the way home.

Whoa Amber still beat me to it!


Anyway, I'm faint out of here. See you guys tomorrow!

* * * * *Passes out unceremoniously on the floor* * * * *

bye Amber, bye Violin Ann

bye Ann, bye Amber

I am going now I think. Bye, thanks for all the votes and my lovely awards

*falls down hall, never to return at least until morning*

*joins the queue of people going*

Bye everyone!

Car Expert

So who is left to drink all this champagne?

Do you think the mods will notice if we just brush it all to one corner?

*brings out dustbin bags and starts chucking rubbish away*

Could someone stack the empty bottles in the recycling box please?

I'll do that (would have done it sooner if it wasn't for flood control!)

*Fetches cloth and wipes tables*

thanks for helping with those, Noodle and Sbhoa.

Right, that's all the loose stuff collected, the bottles ready to recycle.

Now to put the plates and glasses in the dishwasher, then a quick once-round with the Hoover and I think we're done.

Well, that's that for another year....


*switches out most of the lights and opens another bottle*

did you keep us back a couple of glasses Katyjay?

But of course!

Cheers!

*wakes up*

Huh? Has it finished?

OMIGOD. ARGHH, MY HEAD ACHES. I FEEL SICK. I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I DID YESTERDAY. WHY DOES THIS PLACE STINK OF BOOZE? WHAT'S GOING ON? SOD THIS, I'M GOING BACK TO BED.......

Ooops, I forgot to spray air freshener before I left.

Are you not the slightest bit bothered what/if I did do with Goldie?

Just checked... it was Hulk's Limerick Thread that won Most Enjoyable Thread last year
