Just out of interest Ann, who were the runners-up, those who didn't quite make it to the poll?

Ann is away until Thursday night, just in case you're wondering why she's not replying. Hopefully she'll tell us then.

I'm BACH, I'm BACH! (another awful joke, I'm sorry!) tongue.gif Actually Nat, you were very close to being in there. There were many people tied for fifth position including Nat, but I couldn't possibly put 8 people up there, So the fifth person up there was decided on by making it a football score system whereby when the vote is a first choice nominee, the person will get 5 points and if he/she was a fifth choice nominee, the person gets 1 point.
I won't tell you how many votes or points the top five people up there got yet because I don't want that to influence the way people will vote. I'll let you know when the poll is closed wink.gif biggrin.gif But the other nominees were..

No of votes

Rightho who do I pm with that?

I'll have to do it later tonight before I go

Recording - NOPE! biggrin.gif
violin-ann
Hey NOT YET, Nat! This nomination only begins Midnight on Sunday. Unless of course you are going on holiday and won't be back till it's over, then it's ok to pm me before you leave with your nominations.
And why nope? I'm sure you are not that bad. biggrin.gif
saxlover
I know but I am going on holiday,that is why I asked!

I said so! tongue.gif
violin-ann
Ok! Then you have my permission to pm me your votes. biggrin.gif
Aha.. but only ONE of you says so. I'm sure at least TEN of us on the forums say otherwise! wink.gif tongue.gif
sarah-flute
Nat, it can't possibly be worse than the clarinet piece I just sent YAP!!! lol... I'm rubbish! smile.gif
saxlover
You're rubbish but get distinctions in exams?! wink.gif
sarah-flute
I've never even TAKEN a clarinet exam... so... lol... honestly, I think the recording is actually a little flattering to my clarinet ability!
violin-ann
You don't have to take an exam to be good! wink.gif
sarah-flute
True, lol, but it doesn't hurt to 1) have had some lessons 2) have practised more than once a year 3) have some idea what you are doing. None of which apply to me! smile.gif

I need to try and record some non-copyright stuff you you guys to have a giggle at... smile.gif

That's quite easy, given the no. of instruments you haven't learnt yet! biggrin.gif tongue.gif
I think any other instrument would send people into fits. Like if I'd played the french horn. laugh.gif I'd never played a wind instrument or brass in my life. biggrin.gif

Oh and the 'Very Busy Man' will be back Thursday! And the Very Busy Assistant will write him a long PM informing him of the most recent events. Don't be surprised to see a new thread every week reminding people of the winners of all the different categories! laugh.gif

Ok well people were forgetting who won what and by how many votes, so I started a thread, "the Awards So Far.." by which you could see the outcome of the polls so far. That thread will tell you. Any more questions? biggrin.gif
