As we move through the final quarter of 2017, should we aim at instituting a series of Forum Awards? Then we can all chip in and buy the winners a “P” for the year. The categories could be along the lines of:

1. Most humorous
2. Most obnoxious
3. Most surreal
4. Most helpful
5. Most interesting
6. Most pointless
7. Most contentious
8. Most unintentionally amusing
9. Most likely to actually know what they’re talking about
10. Most likely to actually ride bikes

Any other categories?

What do you think? 😉

Did they not used to have that ‘back in the day’ with invites to STW towers and everyfing?

I feel I have made a strong showing in each category

Until that court order, anyway.

Definitely. What this forum totally needs is more opportunities to disappear up its own arse.

Yes, I invented them years ago

These sort of things always feel a bit cliquey.

“…..and most of all, I’d like to thank God”

And then it all kicks off 😉

I already bought TeamHurtmore a subscription as a thank you for standing up on my behalf wrt to posts I had not even seen. This got him a 3 month ban as he overstepped the mark.

“…..and most of all, I’d like to thank God”

You’re only saying that because you’re a stupid moron with a brain the size of a pea and all the learning of the average ant.

And you smell. Smelly.

No offence. 😉

That gets me at least one…

I’d like to give the award for most truncated thread title on the mobile platform to……

No offence.

None taken. I’m all about the forgiveness

Maybe just do the positive ones, if you want. Negativity is a bit pants.

Most likely to get banned.

Most stupid questions asked in the Bike forum (only because I’m in with a chance of winning that one).

Best use of meme or GIF

Best thread derailment

Most likely to not know what they are talking about

Maybe just do the positive ones, if you want. Negativity is a bit pants.

That, and chewy would be a shoe-in for most of the -ve ones.

best services to greggs

Negativity is a bit pants.

^^^.

When everyone piles on, it can just turn into bullying. Even if the recipient is tool, it’s not nice.

saxonrider really not a good idea. Leads to playground name-calling or the forum disappearing up its own bottom bracket.

Most likely to disappear for a year and return pretending like nothing’s happened only now doesn’t put up amusing gifs as much (or at all?) 😆

You could do stupidest bike maintenance blunder, but you can only nominate yourself 🙂

OP, failing getting the awards going on here, could you not use the first 8 categories for your kids?

I think perchypanther’s post describing Jezza’s trail preferences wins.

Made a bit of wee come out. 😀

That explains a lot. 😯

Surely Northwind’s forks have this sewn up in perpetuity?

I think perchypanther’s post describing Jezza’s trail preferences wins.

I’d like to argue but have no argument

I think perchypanther’s post describing Jezza’s trail preferences wins.

Got a link..?

^least likely to be seen riding his bike^^^^^

Most cliquey thread award?

^least likely to be seen riding his bike^^^^^

Indeed… and for two reasons;
1 – I don’t ride as much as I used to, and
2 – I don’t ride with anyone on STW so nobody here would see me riding my bike…

I don’t ride with anyone on STW so nobody here would see me riding my bike…

The eye of STW Towers is all seeing…

Wot no left handed strimmer award…? Tsskkkk.

Hasn’t he suffered enough?

If we can only do one please make it ‘best stealth ad’

On the positive front

1. Most humorous – PP by a country mile
5. Most interesting – saxonrider (esp given the context too)
8. Most unintentionally amusing – E nah, better not
9. Most likely to actually know what they’re talking about – mefty
10. Most likely to actually ride bikes – that fast bloke – gee something and I did meet postierich once but his bike was bust so could be a fraud 😉

Marin – are you suggest that the sub is a waste of money?!?

Is this not just bloody odd?

It’s perfectly normal for two consenting adults to exchange gifts to show their fondness for each other.

Tricky one, I have a terrible memory for other poster’s names, even though I’m pretty confident I’d be pretty high in a league table of ‘most time spent reading forum’.

Nominate Northwind for ‘most political posts I’ve found genuinely insiteful’ and a joint nomination for ‘making the best of a tedious thread’ for everyone who contributed to my thread on the correct use of the word ‘contingent’ which actually turned into quite a funny thread, if shortlived.

But ‘P’ though?

That’s a bit …..specialist, innit?

Why shouldn’t two friends splash out on each other?

Don’t be jealous because you haven’t been showered with P-like gifts.
