If I recall, the way it worked last year was that a nomination also counted as a vote. Therefore you can either vote by agreeing with someone else, or nominating someone new. If someone has a new category - pse add.Voting will start on that one too. Keep it clean, not too much flaming or abuse please.

Hi Badge, I was just thinking if you'd do this again!
BTW I nominate you for 14 "Most Aussie" as you come across as very enthusiastic in all that stuff.
If there was a category for "Most Helpful" I would have to nominate ABCDiamond as he's spent hours helping people out on the forum, including myself - thanks!

It is my personal opinion that I should get the award for #3 It's no contest, really

Paul

It's OK here seeing as it's Christmas.

I'll donate some karma points to the winner of each category.

Pollyana

After all it is aimed mostly at Aus/NZ posters, like last year.

Stunned at being nominated TWICE for funniest poster - what are you lot drinking?!
To keep up my reputation I shall relay to you the hilarious fact that my MIL today announced it should be illegal for people to gives their friends a lift to the shops, because they are depriving taxi drivers of a living.........(and no, she isn't a taxi driver)O broke my own golden rule and argued with her, but she insisted it wasn't right, free lifts shouldn;t be allowed
