Well done Count, clearly all those schmoozing pms you wrote worked wonders. (only joking!)
I see you've got another win against Sheddie to celebrate too, this time in the Rob Dee quiz.
The funniest thing about these awards has to be that this year's equivalent of Shaggy winning the mixed at Wimby last year has been deemed to be Masta K's classic outburst. Well, if we can't have a Wimby winner every year, there are always the horns of Russia to make up for it.
Anyway, congrats to all the winners (and thanks to those who apparently find at least something worth reading among all the drivel I write) and commiserations to those who deserved to win something for all their efforts on here in the last year but didn't have a category that fitted them.

ahh i dint realise i beat sheddie there too :) plus i clicked one of the answers wrong so i should have got 70!
i think people approached the most memorable moment from a different angle this year as almost all were forum related, i'm sure otherwise andy reaching the USO final would have won.
ps your all lucky i didn't go into an acceptance speech, was thinking about it.

Well i didnt want to say anyhthing at the time, but in 1 post where it asked for predictions and everyone else duely listed the 5 or so players with rankings you seemed to enter a dissertation.
