Thanks Dani for your votes. I'm glad we met in London, who knows next time I may be going to see Franz Ferdinand when they next tour (they better soon, their fan club magazine which came yesterday had some good stuff in it) in Scotland! I hope my budget allows me because I love those boys! Maybe even Muse in Scotland, but Devon might be better.

I do still work part-time and I'm a mother also, my youngest daughter is celebrating Christmas in Cuba. She do know that she is living in a very rich country:The Netherlands. It is a great lesson for her do do this vacation in Cuba. Her eyes are now open on real poverty. But you know what: The people are always kind and happy with what they have. I will sending her a cheese package today so she can eat this in the new year. I will be donating also money to the Red Cross. Happy New Year also. Love-Peace and Understanding.

Hello Fea, Merry Christmas to you, too. Your input to the site was largely positive and was appreciated by dozens of people who post here. I'm sure you'll see plenty of 'newsgetter' nominations this year as a result and, as far as I'm concerned, as you were a member here for the vast majority of the year, you're perfectly eligible to be recognised for what you did here. I hope your youngest daughter has a wonderful Christmas in Cuba and I hope you do too - The Red Cross do fantastic work and I'm sure they will appreciate your donation. As far as cheese is concerned, as much as I love an English Cheddar and a French Brie, there is never a time when a Dutch Gouda is out of our fridge. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to you & your family, Andy.

The Second Annual Strawberry Fields Awards - 2007 Let me preface my nominations with what ought to be obvious. These selections are in no way intended to imply that these are my favourite people from the "in" crowd. We're all freaks and misfits in our own way. The following people have flown their freak flag particularly high within my eyeshot this year. Of course it's subjective and I apologise in advance to all those freaks who I was too freaky to notice. Section One - General Kindest, most respectful member: I'd argue that these are two different things but Fab4John, Biggest Kirsten fan, Jacalisa and Olenble all fit both Funniest or wittiest boardie: Andy'sBeard, Lissa8mytoe, Bark Maker Most intelligent board member: Adilah, Mozart8Lissa, FamousClare Most fascinating member: Adilah, Reverend Dave, vidgamerjon Most politically astute boardie: Lissa8mozart, Adilah, Reverend Dave. To all those who voted for me, bless your cotton socks but damn if that isn't a tragic reflection on the level of political analysis and discourse in the world today! Most entertaining board member: JeffLynne'sAndy, Dottythy, Jaynemeanie Most honest boardie: I'm not sure what this means. I don't fact-check everything that people say so I don't really know. Or perhaps does this mean, "least likely to censor themselves regardless of possible fallout"? I'm not sure that's necessarily a good thing so I'll go with the former, take a punt and say ClareGroupie, ELOguy'sStubble, TinyAnna Most 'cosmically conscious' boardmember: FionaByrd, FamousClarepie, OtisWilbury'sFace Most mysterious boardie: FeactXM, HardDaze, all those Santa Claus people Member you'd most like to have a beer with: or iced tea as the case may be... All of the above and below Best thread starter: Mark Baker, Blue Molly, Tony's Hemp Best thread: The What Are You Venting About Lounge Board member with the best avatar(s): ClareGroupie, AnnaBubble, MichelleSculpture Boardie with the best signature(s): John4fan, Adilah, BlondieVal, mozartatemy2 Most attractive/sexiest boardmember: FabJohnFan - the man knows how to wear a mo, Adilah - because brains are a real turn on for some of us, and if you knew Ellieanne like I know Ellieanne.... Person you wish would post more (only current members, please): Reverend Dave, TonyHemp, Shannon Best "newcomer" (Registered in 2007): Ellieanne, Adilah, Mr & Mrs Bellamy Most improved boardie: AimeeandWilburys, Nick2007 and TheOnlyBetsy for the reason Dave stated and I wish I was clever enough to think of. Section Two - Music/The Arts Best Beatles & Beatles-related Newsgetter: Feact, BlueJayne Best Beatles/Paul knowledge: Olen Greatest overall musical knowledge: Lissa Biggest Paul Fanatic: Lindascruff, Flickering Lauren Biggest John Fanatic: Neither Betsy nor Jacaranda! Biggest George Fanatic: Aimee Biggest Ringo Fanatic: Andy Best music reviewer: JeffLynnesKeyboard, Tomwise Most talented poet: Average Clareson Most talented storyteller: m8mt, JLB, FG Most talented artist/animator: Again, arguably two different things. Dotty and Anna are the obvious choices, partly (thought not entirely) because I'm not aware of any others. Most talented musician on the board: Lissa is clearly in a class of her own - not contest whatsoever. Equal second: HardDaze, FoolontheHill, Michelle, Adilah, Emilee, Andy, Gary, MP3J Section Three - The Best Of The Year (One nomination per category only, please!) Song Of The Year: I'll have to edit this on in later Musical Artist/Group Of The Year: Yes, we're going to a World Party! Album Of The Year: I hate to be predictable but Memory Almost Full (original two-disc edition) is the only release of the year that really stands out. Movie Of The Year: Hmmm, I'll get back to you Book Of The Year: This is Your Brain on Music Man Of The Year: Kevin Rudd (you may now open a book on how long it will be before that statement comes back to bite me) Woman Of The Year: Mozart8meout Weirdo Of The Year: Rudy 9iul1an1 Section Four - Special Awards The 'Mom' of the board: BlueJayne, Lisaranda, Dorothy The 'Pop' of the board: Olen, John4Fan, Reverend Dave Best/Most Helpful Moderator: (*declares conflict of interests and leaves room) Best overall contribution to all sections of the board: J.L.Beard, O.Goble, M.Scruff The 'Oscar' for grouchiness: Peter, McGoo The Mailman award for dedication to posting: MaccaLinda, Merry, Dotty The mozart8mytoe 'penguin' award for Quality over Quantity: Reverend Dave, Adilah, Bag o'Heidi ...and finally; The 2007 Strawberry Fields Boardie of the Year (one name only, please): Not for any sympathy reasons but because she's f*cking amazing, Mozart8hertoe |

I am feeling more and more as if these awards things are like a peeing contest. I don't like them. I genuinely don't care about the results. I, and others who have posted publically and told me in private, feel pushed out by the overt cliqueness. I know there are groups of friends. I regard a clique as being bitchy and elitist and nasty and it makes some of us feel uncomfortable. It's been happening for a while now and there are a lot of disparities in the way members treat eachother and also how the moderators act towards people. I don't like it very much around here right now. One highlight, or rather low point, was when everyone jumped on Bridget the other week because of her typos. Dorothy, I like you a lot and respect you a lot for all the progress you've made, but for example, when Dorothy makes, or in the past used to often make, typos, people let it lie because she's so loved and popular, and maybe as she is here a lot. I feel that because Bridget is not here a lot or posting a lot and therefore not as prominent, she was treated appallingly. Anyway, I may or may not amend my choices in this thread but it all seems really hollow and really shallow. :hmm: |

This quote is VERY TRUE!! If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. Marcus Aurelius I know it's easy to QUOTE and sometimes hard to DO....but think about it...it's completely up to YOU and no one else what bothers you...if you feel like an outcast then you WILL be an outcast... in your head at least...even if NO one else is thinking that at all!! BE HAPPY...and think POSITIVE!!!

I figured her out on first read. You asked to be banned, so why did you register under a different name? It makes no sense to me. My award nominations will go up this weekend. I hope that is before the deadline. If not, oh well. The reason I think Bridget got picked on for her spelling is because she is in law school and should know better. She should know how to spell if she is in law school. To get into law school, she had to graduate college. It had nothing to do with being popular or unpopular. |

ouy.. long quotes :wacko: I agree with Lauren on her post about Cliques and such. And ok so Bridget is/was in law school, is she not entitled to make a typo here and there? I'm pretty sure there are alot of people who know how to spell really well in RL and make alot of typo's on forums and such. So unless your all anal about how a word is spelt, then well, i'm sorry that's your problem not her's. Besides the fact, who cares if something is spelt wrong, i'm pretty sure you have the intelligence to figure out what the person is trying to say anyways.

I'm still baffled at the accusation of cliques etc.. Come on people, it's Christmas time - this competition is a bit of fun. If you don't want to participate, then don't read it - it is that easy. FRIENDS form in any group - the ones who talk most, naturally have an affinity with each other - no one is deliberately leaving anyone out. SO long as we have our own self confidence, what does it matter WHO wins an award on the board - it's just a laugh surely... As for spelling, and picking on people, well no one should be picked on. Just because someone graduated from law school doesn't make them any different to anyone else. We can do better than "picking" people. Life is too short....really...we're all human beings who need a hug. PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING, And a Merry Xmas to all...

It is fun, if only people would stop talking about cliques. That makes me not want to vote. I will vote for people I know and am friendly with. Does that make us a clique? I don't think so.

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

Well, here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul...
|
Ok, add me to the list, as well (I suppose that makes me an ass kissing clique- monger). I can't tell you how many times I typed a response into that little window...and ended up deleting it. Honestly, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. It seems that the people who claim not to care...care the most. I don't get it. I'm not sure I want to get it. |

You know, I'm really p*ssed off at all of the nay-sayers on this thread. This is the fourth year of the 'awards' and we have the same thing year after year. I find myself pulling the same phrases out of my hat time and time again, that it's all about recognising the people who have made a difference to your life, who you want to let know that you appreciate and who you, in one way or another, love. If people can't appreciate that and start talking about cliques when, quite honestly, this is one of the least cliquey places I have ever frequented, then you can't see what's in front of your own face. YOU have the chance to make the difference to somebody else's life by giving them a vote. Yes, they may not necessarily win that category, but these 'awards' aren't about winning, they're about thinking of what everyone else contributes to this forum and letting them know that they're appreciated by you. Who gives a flying f*ck about what everyone else is nominating? Write your own form out and let the people you care about know that they're appreciated. That's the spirit of these things, not anything else. That's why they were created, not so we can have some kind of bizarre popularity contest like we're in some shallow high school from hell. All these negative nellies, just get over yourselves. If you don't like it, don't open this thread again. I mean it. Don't come here just to moan - if you don't agree with this, what the hell are you doing reading these words? We had this debate last year and it was decided that the majority of the members wanted it, so - for heaven's sake - respect democracy and allow this event to be a positive thing instead of a massive whinge fest. Why spoil something that is, essentially, a chance to tell people how much you appreciate them? This isn't shallow, cliquey or anything else - this is just plain nice. Merry Christmas.

Nah, f*ck it! Who needs that kind of guilt trip.

The people who aren't into the concept of this thread have made their point and the point is taken.... just like it was last year..... You are welcome to state your case and you have. You've been heard. Your opinion is noted and respected. But stop p*ssing on everyone else's fun. |

And now back to our regularly scheduled broadcast. Section One - General Kindest, most respectful member: Reverend Dave (For being kind & respectful when we needed it the most). Jacaranda (For the kindness you've shown me & many others). Queenbee & Rose (You both seem like very nice people). Funniest or wittiest boardie: Lissa (For whom the phrase razor-sharp wit was invented). FamousGroupie & BeatleBarb (You've both made me laugh more than I expected). Most intelligent board member: Lissa (You remind me of my grandmother who also had a hard life but came away stronger). Jacaranda & Samwise (I get the impression you're both smarter than we think). Most fascinating member: Lissa (There really should be a movie about her life). Most politically astute boardie: Lissa (She understood "the Middle East" better than most Americans. She seemed to have an innate understanding of the motives behind all political rhetoric). Iluvpeter (Such forceful views cannot be ignored. Even when they're wrong). Most entertaining board member: Bill, Flickering Ember, Dantheweatherman (All for different reasons). Most honest boardie: Reverend Dave (If you can't believe a man of God, all is lost). Most 'cosmically conscious' boardmember: beatlechick (Keep up the fight). Reverend Dave (For going to Darfur. What could be more cosmically conscious?). Maccabyrd (For reminding us of Jane Goodall, the most cosmically conscious person alive today). Most mysterious boardie: Bill (What does anyone really know about him?) Member you'd most like to have a beer with: I don't drink alcohol, but I've had the honour of meeting Lissa, who drank more than enough for both of us and yet remained fully conscious. Best thread starter: JeffLynnesBeard, maccascruff, Jacaranda (If for no other reason than for the following). Best thread: The Lissa Tribute & Linda's friend with cancer (I've never seen such unselfish compassion from the Internet toward people most don't even know). The one updating us on Betsy's health. Board member with the best avatar(s): maccascruff (Simply wonderful). Kink (Beautiful). Boardie with the best signature(s): Queenbee (Wonderful). Rose (The penguin is an excellent touch). FamousGroupie (Your daughter is beautiful). Blondie10 ("The impossible often has a kind of integrity to it which the merely improbable lacks"). Most attractive/sexiest boardmember: Lissa was beautiful inside & outside. Queenbee, Rose & maccascruff (I don't know what any of you look like but you have beautiful souls). Person you wish would post more (only current members, please): Merry (You seem to be far less active than in the past). Tonyhemp (There simply aren't enough flaming liberals around here). Fab4fan (For reasons other than your ability to get Bill riled). Best "newcomer" (Registered in 2007): Mr. Bellamy, Blondie10, MannyDavvi (Because you're the only names that come to mind). Most improved boardie: Dorothy & Kit Kat (You both seem more interested in others than when I first joined). Section Two - Music/The Arts Best Beatles & Beatles-related Newsgetter: Feact (Despite the graceless exit). Best Beatles/Paul knowledge: Anyone who knows what the Beatles were doing on any given day between 1962-1970 deserves this award. They also need some form of counseling. Admitting you have a problem is the first step. Greatest overall musical knowledge: Lissa (You taught me more than my teachers ever could). Biggest Paul Fanatic: Not Phil Collins. maccascruff, maccawings, retrollama (Because of all those concerts). Biggest John Fanatic: Jacaranda, Theonlyfab4fan (Because they say so). Biggest George Fanatic: Anyone who actually has his albums (There seems to be so few of us). Biggest Wilbury Fanatic: Aimee Wilbury, of course (I think you have to own George's albums to be a George fanatic). Biggest Ringo Fanatic: Anyone who wants to be. Biggest Fanatic: That Michael Savage person. I fear his mother may not have held him as a baby. Best music reviewer: Samwise (Your reviews remind me of first-person narration from science fiction novels). Most talented poet: Doris Mendlovitz (For the many wonderful poems). Samwise (Lyrics are poetry too). Lissa (For the haiku about trees, and also because I don't know if anyone else is a poet and I get to name 3 people). Most talented storyteller: Lissa (Who made us laugh & cry at the same time). Most talented artist/animator: I can't recall seeing anyone's art. Most talented musician on the board: Lissa (Compare her Mozart Sonata 11 with Glenn Gould's, whom she admired. Compare her Scarlatti sonata with Martha Argerich's, her mentor. She was brilliant). Section Three - The Best Of The Year (One nomination per category only, please!) Song Of The Year: Bos el Wawa by Haifa Wehbe. Musical Artist/Group Of The Year: Mona Lissa Jazz Ensemble. Album Of The Year: Hayda Haki by Najwa Karam. D.J. of the Year: Bill. Movie Of The Year: Salim al Eilaboun. Book Of The Year: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Scandal of the Year: The one involving that celebrity whom everyone used to love but now despises. Section Three and One Half – Extra Special Awards Biggest Computer Idiot: BeatleBarb (Because she said so). Members you confuse with each other: MaccasGirl & LadyMacca (I don't know why). Member you most often unintentionally insult with references to Paul McCartney songs: FamousGroupie (That magnificent example of female pulchritude & luminosity). The Universe Loves a Drama Award: Kit Kat, Feact, theonlyfab4fan. Username you don't understand: iscreamer1, wackadoo, vlivantje. Favourite username: mozart8mytoe (Only from a mind like yours could come a name like this). Flickering Ember (A beautiful name from a beautiful song). Student of the Year: LovelyRita, BeatleBarb.

BeatlesBiggestFan (For keeping the games alive). Ogoble (For always adding something since my last visit). The mozart8mytoe 'penguin' award for Quality over Quantity: Lissa (Whose entire life was quality over quantity). Reverend Dave (Who rarely visits, but when he does has something interesting to say). ...and finally; The 2007 Strawberry Fields Boardie of the Year (one name only, please): Lissa (May you find the peace in God's love you never found on earth).

Ok, i've had some thought about what i've said recently. And I know i'm not the only one who mentioned cliques and whatever. But, I just want to apologize for the things that I (myself) said. I've had some issues in the past and most recent of the whole clique issue. I'm not about to go an explain because quite frankly it's nobody business. But all the same, I shouldnt have tooken my frusteration out here. Call this a guild trip, a mood swing, or looking for attention, I don't f*cking care. People make mistakes and i've said mine. Simple as that. Andy, I know you were not pointing fingers at people in your post. But your post actually did make me stop and think and felt rather bad for the things I said. So just wanted to apologize to you mostly since you are the one to put the awards on. Ok.. corny moment over.

And we wish for World Peace? We can't even have a fun year end award without complainers. I think we should not even acknowledge their complaint. Maybe they'll go to the VENT thread and complain there. Leave us alone in our happy awards thread. If you don't eat something you dont like, then don't read something that doesn't make you happy. That was your Mother speaking.......now go to your room and do something to make yourself happy, nay-sayers! |

One of the main reasons I like this site is because of all the wonderfully friendly people. I've never once felt excluded from any conversation in any topic. And if I ever find a topic that I don't want to get involved with, I stay out of it. As for cliques...we all belong to one...The SF Clique! Peace & Love, Olen BTW, I'm almost ready to post my votes. It's tough because there are so many deserving people here. |
