    Default Time to make Gwyneth blush...

    There is a certain conflict in making a thread to thank people. On one hand, it is the height of egotism - "hey, look at me" - yet on the other, it is the height of ingratitude not to recognise the kindness of others.

    So ego wins.

    I would like to thank everyone who voted for me in the HoF 2006 awards. For some reason, you have seen fit to confer the award for Outstanding Backroom Contributor on me. I would like to think this is a just recognition of the long years working to research gential mutilations in the international field and bring to global attention the essential knowledge of just how dangerous duct tape and a rooftop nail gun can be.

    I would of course, like to take the time to thank so many individuals you will all have to rebook your taxis home. But I won't, at least not name by name. Everyone has made an impression on me one way or another. Thank you all for making my time in the Backroom and in the Org such a rewarding* and enjoyable experience.

    It reminds me of a time when EDIT: Too much yawn inducing memoir is against forum rules. SC

    And of course, special thanks to TosaInu, Ser Clegane and my new colleagues on staff who gave me the incalcuable joy of being able to hand out warnings and other cruelties to innocent posters for no good reason (no, it's true, everyone tells me so each time) thus ensuring I will never get nominated for an award again.

    Timing is everything. Thank you.

    And congratulations to all other award winners too!
