Only fair that we stick to original rules .
good poll though and I think it shows that the sir ramic and bri are rightly esteemed to be the the top members of the year .
they both put a load of work and good posting throughout the year.
take mr tea bag out of the equation and the rest have been adjudged pretty equally to have contributed something that is worthy of votes.
For me you can't split the two and I am really glad that they have been recognised above the rest.
and then we come to ash .
i missed your very early posts to the forum and then it was hard to catch up!,,
I am sure that if you don't catch the other two you won't be bothered one jot.
i have only been a member a few years but I think you are certainly unique and whereas I was cringing at times at the beginning and getting peed off at the way you were treated at other times , your journey has turned from being exasperating to wonderment for me that you have obviously learnt loads and you are giving some correct advice out to newcomers!!,
you have had downs and ups but having only just recently revealed that you used to box maybe we should have known better.
there should be a special award to you for just for almost knowing what you have to do before you have done much tiling.
it is almost as if you have enrolled in a tiling course on this forum and the members have all been your tutor and I and all of us will be really proud I think if you make a go of this as your living.
not a short course for you mr tea bag . You've gone a full 15 rounds many times over and always get up off the canvas for more !! ,
in a year that I think most regulars will feel that the forum has got a bit stale , you have made the biggest contribution in keeping things alive.
