Yeah, that was me.

Thought as much. That Enda Kenny "dreamboat" comment had me chuckling for ages afterwards...

Yeah, the one who nobody was saying "hello" to, but rather going "omg! What did you do with all your hair?!?" and similar.

Nearer, at the SU corridor end.

I'd say post of the year was scop with this, probably because I got sick of SU bitching

Agreed

Best avatar to remind you of 90's kids TV: ferdi

Vainglory

Well, sniff, thankyou for my awards..I feel this is something I can use to show all the begrudgers when they say "Why are you on boards AGAIN??? All you do is get in fights! All they do is abuse you!! Why do you waste your time, you bloody idiot". They won't be so quick to judge me once they see my array of "Best debater" awards. Booyah. *victory dance*

Hmm, I should probably do some awards of my own.

Best potential coalition partner : Pythia (lol........)

Most infuriating to debate with : I don't think I even have to say her name

Award for making a post the other day that not even I could bring myself to argue with, as it induced head-melting fears : Kaptain RedEye

Best mod : Well, obviously peachy, but since I think she's getting a big head, I'm going to say...ummm..*checks bottom of the page*, Truckle.

Biggest hack : I can't believe I'm getting these awards. It's DEFINITELY singingstranger. At least I get PAID to hang around the corridor, hmmm? Hmmm?

The "I can't believe he just said that" award : Sangre

Most infuriating thread of the year : The one about the war in Iraq. I was so infuriated by it that I don't think I could even post on it for fear of head implosion and/or violence.

Best banning of the year : Me and panda, simultaneously, for being little brats. I was rather proud. Boards seems to turn me into a petulant child.

Best begrudger of the SU : Firespinner. At least he comes along to Council and enters into intelligent debate, although GOOD GOD MAN, I disagree with nearly everything you say. Remarkable.

Most screwed for exams due to overuse of boards : Form an orderly queue, please.

Best debate of the year : So many to choose from. The Ultrasound debate, vicious and at times, personal. The Abortion debate, more of the same. The womens' officer debate. The End The Ripoff campaign debate where MNG plays a starring role, the Ripping of Posters debate, the New Constitution debate.. I actually can't decide.

Your thoughts?

blondie83

*wipes away a tear and walks up to the podium* Well what can I say...I'd like to thank the UCD department for not having any taught masters, DCU for taking a chance on an unknown engineer and most of all Dublin Bus for making it all happen...when it actually turns up....which doesn't happen a lot of the time, but I'm calm, I'm calm...

*goes off plotting how to destroy Dublin Bus*
