Thanks Franco, have you nominated me? Maybe they don't have an award for "Uncouth Englishman with almost no talent, save for an amazing capacity for developing innovative, yet ultimately useless ideas."

I just can't help myself.

Dear Simon,

I seem to remember seeing a similar description for Steve Jobs . How about the S-Pod!

Per ardua ad astra from my old school memory. No mention of money though.

I can't see why we can't have our own award ceremony!

I'm sure you could pull a poll together with all the relevant categories (best New Comer, most Prolific Poster, most Disillusioned Poster, most Company Loyalty Poster!

You'd have to win the "Sexiest Poser"

best clean my glasses!

Sexiest poser or poster? Either way I'll take it...thanks Caz.

Yes I can certainly fit faces to the above award categories; I think Kim racked up the fastest 50 posts just recently, Newsgirl is a cert for most prolific poster, miss choc for the loyalty badge, Charles C for biggest linker, you for cheekiest and it seems just about everyone else for disillusioned.

Dear Simon,

I can imagine Les Dawson might have commented something like –

“Disillusioned ? I didn’t know you’d met tha wife ?”

In the same vein, I’m sure Les would have appreciated the list below taken from the students BMJ -

I’m honoured by the links nom-de-plume although I suspect that a not – negligible proportion are OT. To illustrate the point in a hopefully useful way, I’ve just been looking around for practical examples of the use of risk matrices and I found this really interesting one which I first thought was a joke but actually contains some rather useful ideas IMO –

He he. Where on earth do you dig these things from Charles.

Control measure "wear sturdy jeans and trainers."
