Vote now for the Thread We Learnt Most From in the Forums!! You may PM me with up to 5 names, ranking them from the best as no.1 and the fifth choice as no. 5.
Hurry! Voting for this category closes at MIDNIGHT SUNDAY 4TH OF SEPTEMBER BST (or the start of Monday, just to make things clear)
When this voting for this category closes, the voting by PM for the next category (Best Limerick) will open, so remember to look out for it!

At the end, we have a new, 11th category from the 16th to the 23rd of October, Best Recording of the forums! So watch out for it!

Hmmm, that will take some serious trawling of old threads...

It will take ages, so many threads, not enough time!

We should post here any useful threads, so that we have a short list to nominate from. Its so easy to forget good threads.

Some that spring to mind:

How to treat hedgehogs with a cough (Steve Hopwood)
How to record yourself using Audacity (not sure who to attribute this to, as Nicki-Flute helped me, if its thread starter then it will be saxlover)
How to avoid adders in the woods (Subatomic star)

Violin-ann I've just seen the photo on your card - brilliant! Is it a ramen restaurant selling tako, or a tako restaurant which also sells ramen? (I remember eating ramen in Tokyo once - it didn't matter how much I ate, the bowl still seemed full of noodles!!!!!)

Is this only the Forums cafe then?

Jane, I wasn't aware that I erm inspired whoever to make a thread!

IS that red thing an octopus?

Yes it is! Cute isn't it? And yes it's a ramen shop. Not sure if they sell tako (they should!) because I only got a glimpse from afar. Not that I had a chance to go in. We were in a guided tour, you see and we had a time limit. It's in Hokkaido. Ahh.. I just love Japan.
Ok guys, give me a minute to trawl through. But here are some..
Nicki_flute's Feel Good confidence booster thread, my Tonic Sol-fa thread and Steve Hopwood's Aural Exams (and what they lack). Sorry can't remember the exact wording of the latter!

Edit:-
Ok here's what I got for now... will post more later when I look through them!
