    D.Bishop = http://www.desbishop.com/

    He was the MC for the night - and a good choice too and a CuLT mentioned friendly approachable guy (he was carrying around a Leprechaun/Garden Gnome for most of the night) which is a clear signal to the Loonies -> come talk to me.

    Someone in the audience just stepped up on Stage in the middle of the event asked to take a pic of himself and Des which he took with his camera phone (i think) and gave him the Leprechaun/Gnome and walked off quietly. I reckon it was one of the Des Bishop impersonators on Bebo:)

    ONLINE FORUM Boards.ie netted the inaugural People's Choice Award at the Eircom Golden Spiders internet awards,

    A bit of a penalty kick, no? ;)

    Well done to the Screws but of course it could never have happened without the restless inmates.

    One vote makes a difference and in this instance I believe it was my vote that made the difference. :p

    Congratulations!

    Edit: Anyone think that spider thing would make a great ban stick?

    I'm trying not to be cynical here, its really a nice award and its nice to have lots of people feel good enough about the site that they voted for it. Thanks. :)

    We won "Best Boards-Like Site" ("best social and community site" actually).

    There will be pics, at least one of me pretending to be the "Queen of the Spider People" (which Phaxx took :) ). ahem...

    We got the biggest cheer of the night which was nice (all those techies stood up and cheered for us.... then sat down again, panting heavily) :)

    I'm going to bed now. Sleepy time for bagpuss.

    DeV.
    Rule 34?

    Is it just me or does the spider look like something that aliens might attack in?
