Awwww..... wow... damn, where'd the blushing smilie go??! no surprises among the others though

Heh, I read the "take your time" bit after I voted and no I didn't vote for myself if you were wondering close run thing but gone for "person who has specifically helped me most" in the end...

warm fuzzies before bed - how nice!

Never mind, I'm sure you have voted correctly. My, you are up late today (or very early!)
Have you been waiting up to see the results?

nope I have to admit I had completely forgotten even to expect the new poll - it's been that kind of day - I'm just stupid enough to still be up at 1 am... my excuse is that I slept badly and got up late so I'm running behind with everything - including sleep!

That's ok, because you can be the first to vote for the imaginative meal maker. That sounds so like me, though! - I mean the sleeping part!
Oh the blushy is here

Eek who do I vote for!

Wow!

Thanks to whoever nominated me, I'm touched.

arrghhh! So many helpful people here how do I choose...? eeny meeny miney mo....

Are you supposed to say who you have voted for?

erm .............

that is ............

well,

don't know what to say!

(coughs nervously)...

actually ......... YES - what I want to say is - the nicest thing about this is knowing that a few of my thoughts and experiences may have helped someone.

I just voted for the person i voted for in 1st place in the pm thing...

No. I think it's meant to be a secret ballot.

Unlike a general election...

Unless for some reason you want to splurge your choice across the boards which I guess if you wanted to, lol! but yep, it's a secret ballot unless you choose to reveal your vote.

edit: I just looked at the current result... gosh... I'm touched! and glad that obviously I have been helpful now and again...

saxlover....why isnt she on there?!!?!

Not much for splurging, personally!

Nice to see both my nominations in the final poll, though.

Me either! I was the first to vote though so that would've given my vote away, but you can't tell now!

Hooray, finally voted. But it was really tough!!

Well, sorry Iluvpiano, but if you'd PM-ed with your vote, Nat might just be up there!
It's up to you if you want to reveal your choice, but all I'll say is, three people up there have had outstandingly more PM votes than the other two!
And btw, the top 2 posters (by PM vote) had an equal no. of votes! So it'll be interesting to see which way the online polls go.

I post irrelevant tosspot that's why!!!

3 of my nominations are in the final poll

Err.. I just checked and I think it's two, Nat

Really!!?? Oops I can only remember 4 I voted for then

PM me with my nominations!

I've just voted!

Gosh, I can't choose... if I could, I'd vote for them ALL!

mine too! It was really hard to decide which to vote for..

We all post irrelevancies from time to time. At least yours are fun.

Thanks to the kind, if deluded, individual who nominated me. I just do what I can to help, whilst accepting massive amounts of help back plus loads of entertainment.

Steve

I nominated you Nat!

Only one of my nominations is in the final poll!

Wow, the votes are close! This is getting exciting.

Mine too. Woo!

Me me me!

We are all honoured with your presence on here Steve (especially after hearing you play on your website )

I'm actually very pleased to see that five very worthy people have been nominated for this as their help is very important to this forum and was worried it would be undervalued by joke nomination for posting the most gibberish in the cafe (not that I don't value the social aspect of the forum, of course).

I have been helped out by all of the people on the list, and of course many others, either directly from answers to my questions or indirectly by learning a lot from reading their posts and of course by additional help from sarah in the form of always being there to help when I'm banging my head against a brick wall .

Anyway, it wasn't difficult to find the person to vote for, someone who always answers my awkward open ended questions and from whom I have learnt a great deal; but it was hard to not be able to vote for everyone! So thanks to all of you for your help so far and keep up the good work .

What happens if the vote is tied?

I choose the winner

No, the two tie-ees have a fight for it!

Fight...what about mud wrestling, hehe!

Oh no. Not another fight. I'm off.......

I like fighting! *draws out sword*

I'm definitely off! *runs out of cafe*

Humph fine

I won't send you a recording of me then

A recording is great. I just don't want you to fight with me.

Aha knew you'd come back for that!

I see you send her a recording
(and where did you get that sword)

Only certain people can hear my awful playing.

Aha my sword- from Einaudi

I thought u might have got it from him, that being the most logical choice
and what do you mean only certain people? am i not a certain person? how do you become a certain person?

Ah only I know how you can become a 'certain' person

Yes, 'Con Swordini', it's on Le Onde

(sorry, that was bad)

No but that was actually correct YAP

yes bit was rather terrible....
and nat; please enlighten me

Oh my - that is awful!

Just to say thanks to anyone who nominated me or voted for me... you guys rock! *bigcheesygrin*

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

Yes that would be nice Boo. It is so close!
