As usual, please send your votes to me (Nick from Cheshire) by private message.

Closing date is midnight on 24th December (just before Santa arrives ), and the results will be posted as soon as possible after that!

Oh, and just one tiny additional rule after last years enthusiastic but misguided attempt to rig the vote.....only votes from people with active accounts on this site prior to midday today will be counted!
And no, the multiple accounts created last year don't count



*the first three being a Grammy, a recording contract, and an interview with Steve Price

You don't have to say cookies on my behalf....LOL....I love the British expressions!

I loved Firefest, when I had to stop at the grocery store the man ringing up my purchase called me Darling. You gotta love the UK!
