I would probably class as a newcomer if...anyone, ye know....fancies putting in a vote for me...

well, i dont believe in blowing ones own horn
but yano
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROMP there i go

Holy crap, I think that there should have been a list of possible candidates to kick off.

Anyone else that has been missed out?

I haven't had many *sniffs*

Dont worry floody at least one of us loves you.

I'll pay you later......

You forget what goes by through the entire year. I don't pay attention to who's new and so on. papa5murf is the newest best poster I could think of.

Then I remembered that Sparky, Dave, CFCBhoy etc. are all new to the board this year. But they should take it as a compliment that they're considered as regulars rather than newcomers.

I agree there Jamesy mate

I'd not realised that some hadn't been here forever

I've had none so at least someone loves you

I agree there, it wasn't until reading other entries that a few names popped up I hadn't even thought of!

well there are many members who only post in certain sections and only come on the forum every now and then . To get recognition you really need to be a regular and post often and in different sections , that is the whole point of these awards ....to show appreciation for those who have contributed the most to our forum .. We cannot really have an award for example "best member in Art and Graphics section" as you would have to do the same for many sections and it would be too time consuming .

I`m sure next time we can add a few categories if necessary ..it is up to you to let us know ..


The voting for the 2007 awards will end at midnight on friday ..18th jan ...

Does that mean midnight at the beginning of Friday, or at the end of Friday Conn?

Midnight marks the beginning and ending of each day in civil time throughout the world. It is the dividing point between one day and another.

With 12-hour time notation, most authorities recommend avoiding confusion by using "midnight", "12 midnight", or "12:00 midnight".

Digital clocks and computers appear to show 12 a.m. for midnight. While that phrase may be used practically, it helps to understand that any particular time is actually an instant. The "a.m." shown on clock displays refers to the 12-hour period following the instant of midnight, not to the instant itself. In other words, 11:59 p.m. shows until midnight; at the instant of midnight it flips to 12:00. Simultaneously, the p.m. flips to a.m., though, strictly speaking, a.m. applies not to the instant of midnight which separates p.m. and a.m.

In 24-hour time notation, "00:00" and "00:00:00" refer to midnight at the start of a given date. Some styles allow 24:00 for the end of a day. Noon is 12:00:00.

While computers and digital clocks display "12:00 a.m." and "12:00 p.m.", those notations provide no clear and unambiguous way to distinguish between midnight and noon. It is actually improper to use "a.m." and "p.m." when referring to 12:00. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante meridiem or before noon and p.m. stands for post meridiem or after noon. Since noon is neither after noon or before noon, neither abbreviation is correct (although the length of the error is determined by the smallest unit of time — 12:00:01 p.m. would be correctly notated). Similarly, midnight is both twelve hours before as well as twelve hours after noon, so both are ambiguous as to the date intended.

The most common ways to represent these times are, (a) to use a 24-hour clock (00:00 and 12:00, 24:00), (b) to use "12 noon" or "12 midnight", although unless the person is referring to a general time and not a specific day, "12 midnight" is still ambiguous, (c) to specify it between two successive days or dates (Midnight Saturday/Sunday or Midnight December 14/15), and (d) to use "12:01 a.m." or "11:59 p.m." This final usage is common in the travel industry, especially train and plane schedules, to avoid confusion as to passengers' schedules. [1] The U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual recommends the opposite, that noon is 12 a.m. and midnight is 12 p.m.[2]

Some religious calendars continue to begin the day at another time — for example, at dusk in the Hebrew calendar and the Islamic calendar.

hope that makes it all clear now .

Ive been here nearly two years Gonzaga mate, I'm no newcomer although i thank you for your vote!

The night before my birthday.

That means I have to win something.

oh time runs really fast

btw I think that, as theres the award 'most missed memeber', there should be another one called 'less missed member'

Would be a two horses race between High Heeled Sue and Darren Addick probably

Thanks Conn

Does that mean voting ends at midnight at beginning of Friday or the end of Friday?

Can't we make it, say, 02.15 GMT on Friday?
Much simpler
