Roll up Roll up for the seasons most eagerly anticipated awards ceremony..well since last year's award ceremony anyway!

Yes it is that time of year again when we ask you to vote for the MoneyAM Xmas Lunch Awards 2006. Competition as always will be fierce as all the categories are once again hotly contested. On a special note, although thousands of you will no doubt want to cast a vote for me in some of the more esteemed categories, however, as co presenter I am ineligible. This is to ensure the integrity of these awards (plus I count the votes, so that would hardly be fair). Having said that I am hoping to be up for the lifetime achievement award in 2015, which gives me plenty of time to work on the speech!

So here we go ladies and gentlemen, I give you the categories:


Thread of the Year 2006

Trader of the Year 2006

Poster of the Year 2006

Ramper of the Year 2006

Most Helpful Poster 2006

Funniest Poster 2006

MoneyAM Users Special Award 2006 (Vote for a fellow poster and let us know why they deserve an award)


To vote for any of the awards above, simply add your comments here or alternatively please send your selections to ian@moneyam.com

We will total up the votes using the US General Election automated vote counters from the Florida ballot of 2001 to ensure complete fairness and impartiality :)

Awards will be presented on Friday 8th December at the lunch if we can be heard over the inevitable heckling!

Oi, Jules

Poster of the year....... Big Al as he is never too busy to get that weekend thread up

Yes he bloody is -- how many times this year have we had to recycle one of his old ones because he wouldn't get out of bed?

Derek... ok then, you can have the prize;-)

ROFLMAO!!!

It's sponsered by David Cameron, MM. ;-0

very suprised to notice Alan not on the funniest poster list-he certainly has made me laugh this year.

Jules, Big A:and taxed by Gordon Brown. That'll be 10 per post, y'ken . . . and I'll spend it all on Edukashun . . .

The Guvnor has to remain impartial I suppose & is noticeable by his absence
Maybe of course this is not up for debate
Bring back Blackadder (don't all speak at once!)

Mine said "helpfull" on the box so I opened it with dreadful anticipation but it was right inside :-)

Thank you once again chaps. There are so many who are helpful though particularly on the PC clinic thread that I am embarrassed to be singled out each year.
