Aww, thank you for the award.  And sorry I didn’t vote–I don’t think I was aware of this in time, and by the time I found where the categories were it was too late!  Congrats to all the winners and warm wishes for 2014 to all my forum friends.

Aww I wasn’t expecting to win anything, that was a nice surprise! Congratulations to everybody else who has won an award or awards, and happy 2014!

Just out of interest, parlance, what did you mean by ‘most likely to make you go hmmm’?

Well, personally, I thought of posts that made me consider a different angle. But now I like the ambiguity.

I wasn’t expecting to win anything so am genuinely thrilled. Thank you!! How do we go about cutting up the awards awarded to numerous award winners – anyone got a hacksaw?

A huge thank you to Parlance for hosting these, organising the occassion and compiling the votes.

And what better way to mark these than with a Beatles video.

My pleasure. As for the award, I think we have enough of these to go around:

Oh, I won something, cool I didn’t think I cheered people up, I generally post loads of crap with grammatical and spelling errors throughout :D

Cheers for everyone who voted for me (you lovely people, ye) and well done to everyone else who got a Golden B :)

Congrats to all the winners.

I hope my tendency to be welcoming cancels out my naughtiness of derailing threads. *cheesy grin*

I’m constantly saying hummmm…. to myself. Interesting to know I’ve made others say that.

Thank you all for letting me be a part of this totally awesome group of people. I am learning so much about our dear Fab Four.

Yes. I’m surprised we didn’t/don’t have a behind the scenes thread of the awards. It should be twice as long as the actual awards thread, completely pointless with nothing of any value added, and filled with lots of inane wittering from people who are never here and have no idea what the heck it was all about. Oh and a crap band/artist who has something to plug should post twice, both times blatantly hyping their latest release whilst ignoring the actual awards. 

Basically your everyday ITV2 and BBC3 behinds the scenes show.

Oh, and if you can make some really dreadful jokes, a few bits of camp sexual innuendo, and basically just act like a completely irritating git then you’ll be just like one of the presenters hired. I mean, did anyone watch that BBC 3 top ten doctor who episodes? Not an awards show but honestly was the presenter meant to be funny? Getting eaten by Army Ants would have been more pleasant (see 3:18 into the clip below (no sound)).

Will you be asking questions like some of those in the questions for Paul thread? Help . Karma comes back to bite me. I don’t think I can handle celebrity status.

I’d gladly wear Paul. His arm wrapped around my waist as we take a stroll down the road…a long and winding one. Can you produce him for me , parlance?

I would (clutching tightly my one and a quarter awards) like to thank, sniff, sniff, you beautiful Beatle People for this great honour. Obviously, the one I don’t have to share is the most important! Of all the Awards! Hahaha! No, seriously, I do thank you all – even those who didn’t vote for me (which I know included me) for the honour you have bestowed.

When questions are asked, I do try my best to provide the best information I have. Whether this refers to questions about The Beatles or general questions, I would like to thank Mark Lewisohn, Hunter Davies, Kevin Howlett, Phillip Norman, and the many other authors who have put all these things in my OCD head. – sob! sob! – Most touched! I will try my best over the next year to share and explain what I think I know.

(Looking down at the roughly cut up other award) Funny Paper, meanmistermustard and SatanHimself, I cannot think of any men (and Mildred) to be better opinionated with. Finer combatants I could not ask for! Didn’t vote for any of you opinionated feckers! Sorry! Why would I? Why? You often disagree with my knowledgeable opinions. How is that going to win you my vote! Be less opinionated this year and I just might… Ooo! Wait ! Yeah! I see the problem there!

Honestly though, a pleasure to share it with you all! You’ve all made me have to think!

(Looking down at the roughly cut up other award) By the way, the engraving on the base of my quarter has “Himself”, “Funny”! Who got the bits with my name?

Thank you! A proper acceptance speech! I thank you all, and parlance for all the hard work, let’s do better in 2014! I love you all! (Carried off stage in floods of tears by security towards wetroosa’s backstage interview).
