The voting lines have now opened for Category 4: Most Humorous Poster. You can PM/email me with up to ten votes as to who you think is/are the most humorous poster(s). Remember to rank your nominees in order of preference if voting for more than one person so I know how many points to give them. The person for whom you give 1st place to will get 10 points, regardless of how many other people you vote for. Remember you cannot vote for yourself.

I will publish periodic league tables in this thread to give everyone an idea of how things stand. A final league table will be posted on this thread when the voting lines close at 2130 BST on Sunday 2nd August, when the winner will be announced depending on who's top of the league table at the end of the week. The voting lines will also open for the next category - Most Sensible Poster.

For more details on the awards, see the main awards thread.

Car Expert , i demand a most hyper category, it can be my birthday present..........PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I certainly laugh at you rather a lot...
I'm not sure that's exactly what it means though

I think I'm quite funny - well my wife tells me I am!

Please SHUT UP!

Can we get this done for him on the NHS?

WOO! ^ Laura-Clarinet and her "wicked" referral!

That is N A S T Y! Yuck.

Nope.
It isn't very good quality stitchery anyway .

LOL I LOVE WICKED

But seriously my flying monkeys are desperate to come out and get you Hello_cello!

Am I on the board?

Ooh, if you can do a more thorough job of it, that would be great

PETRAT IS NOT FUNNY! SO THERE!

LOL

I'm obviously deadly serious at all times.

It would appear the winners from the past 3 years haven't received any votes yet! What is going on people!

Tastes in humour (as with everything else) change. Ask Bernard Manning - oh no you can't.

Clearly neither confutatis nor I are funny anymore *sulk*
(well, actually, he isn't )

I wonder who received votes for being funny on purpose?

Well that confirms that people find my random claptrap more irritating than amusing

Lowersinth: Hey, Look, Norma! Mole's seriously in contention for this one!
So he is! another 20 votes would put him in the lead

Lowersinth: We could both vote for him. That would do it!

Hmmm. Somehow I don't think CE would accept our votes, me being dead and you being certifiably insane...

Lowersinth: OK. We'll start one of those daft campaigns, like H_C does... now, let me see, where are those really big red letters... oh! here they are... this should do it...



OMG!

I can't believe that being certifiably insane is a bar to voting on this forum (dead, maybe...)

It would appear that some people missed my jokes at previous year's Adult Learners concerts.......

That was a rubbish campaign!

Well I am not really interested in winning this award, but.... I have just noticed that to date I have got one vote.

ONE VOTE!

In spite of many posts in the OLTVA, taking the Leeds Event thread of topic many times with funny remarks, making up silly poems in the Games Zone, and writing a funny story in this thread http://www.abrsm.org/forum/index.php?showt...37676&st=15# (post number 27) is that all I deserve? .

I would just like to say (sob) a big thank you to whoever put me in 10th position on their list. It was very kind of you and I do really appreciate your thoughtfulness (even though a few more points would have been even more appreciated )

I won't even get any votes from The Old Lady - she is on holiday for two weeks!

So I wouldn't want anybody to vote for me out of sympathy, would I? . Because I am not really campaigning, you understand.

even one vote in would make me happy me's had none yet

Console yourself with the fact that, er, bernie isn't on the list either

Anyone want to send me any votes?

Car Expert

Yep. Tomorrow. I might want to vote for all those who haven't got any votes yet

I already voted.

That's fine then I know

Car Expert

I don't understand why peole don't vote for me.

Because you're not funny?????????

Tommy Cooper at the dentist...

"So I goes to the dentist, and I sit in the chair, and it keeps going in and out, in and out, not up and down. And the dentist says to me, Mr Cooper, please get out of the filing cabinet."

I'll send you one if you send me one

Not at all humourous !

Yay - confutatis and maledictis ride again (in a manner of speaking)...

Im not impressed, to say the least.

not in your opinion perhaps ...

Well, it would seem you're funnier than me.

Hey! Think of my reputation!

Oh, hang on a minute...

You're going down Dawn!

Who is it that finds my jokes funny?...

It takes me many, many seconds to craft them!...

Hey... I only speak the truth
and watch out.... no attacks on forum members.



Maybe you are just one of those people people like to laugh at....????

(sorry Barry, couldn't resist... )
