The voting lines have now opened for Categories 12.1 and 12.2: Best Looking Male and Best Looking Female. Please PM/email me your votes for the female category and send noodle your votes for the male category. As usual, remember to rank your nominees in order of preference if voting for more than one person so we 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, and only those members who have posted since July 1st 2008 are eligible to receive votes.

Both noodle and I will publish periodic league tables in this thread to give everyone an idea of how things stand. A final league table for both categories will be posted on this thread when the voting lines close at 2130 BST on Sunday 27th September, when the winners will be announced depending on who's top of the both league tables at the end of the week. The voting lines will also open for the final category of this year's awards - Member of the Year.

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

How are we supposed to judge this when we all have cats for our profile picture - well my cat's better looking than your cat - but he's male and I'm female so now what happens

This is not an easy category, only one person on here knows what I really look like and to be honest - I probably don't deserve the top 10 (or 20) (or maybe even 30) aaaarrrrrgggh the stress

Aaaaah i hardly know what anyone looks like !Except Miss Ross/Heslop01/mwl1 !!!

My display pic is me by the way

Are you the blonde or the brunette?

I am such a cute kitten. Vote for me.

Hey guys

You don't wanna be wearing that shirt in your pic benj

Im the brunette

Just to reiterate : I'm the one in yellow

Ladies, if you want to vote for gentlemanly elegance, you might like to vote for someone wearing a suit and tie .

[Oh I do believe I might be the only one ]

You are a big flirt.

Votes are being gathered, sent to lawyers, and the appropriate restraining orders will be winging their way to your doors

Can we vote for moderators?

I've voted for the lovely Ed before

Brilliant He does look rather lovely

He is
(bit young though )

I must say I'm disgusted at the idea of forum males being treated as eye candy and/or s*x objects. We demand equality!

Burn your jockstraps, lads!

Oh...wait...

You wish

I can live with being eye candy! Vote for Henry, you lovely ladies!

I bet you wouldn't be saying that if you got lots of votes

Speak for yourself, mate!

Sol, some females on here probably wouldn't mind being treated as eye candy and/or s*x objects.

What are you doing tonight, gorgeous?

Your head in.

If it stays that way, does that mean we all win?

Well done!


6 more than me

I'm obviously missing some terribly amusing joke.

Having not met anyone yet, I can only go by your profile pics, ladies! There are some very nice ones too.

Ahem ...

Its not that amusing, just someone voted for me as best looking female, when I'm male.

Aww - do you have a bad cough?

I thought your name was Helen?

Thanks for my votes, whoever voted for me.

Best looking male awards, eh?

Oh, what a creep charmer!

Aw, thank you for my 9 points! I wasn't expecting any.

perhaps a picture of the Holz Gedeckt 8' would help?
