Good morning/evening Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed board members... your majesty (Judy). Thank you for your patience and for joining me for the board event of 2009 (so far), The Third Annual Strawberry Fields Awards, 2008. I hope you're all wearing your smartest suits, most glitzy, glamorous dresses – or, for those of you in the North of England, your least stained vests. Here are the winners of each individual category, as voted for by you! So, please take your tables, uncork those Champagne bottles and give a round of applause for each of the winners, runners-up and those who receive an honourable mention. Winners of each category are invited to give a short acceptance speech and tell us how you feel to have won that particular category. Losers, unless gracious in defeat, are invited to keep their big yaps shut. I'd like to thank the following people who all submitted voting forms; Iluvpeter Bluemeanie MaccasGirl TinyBubbleCA fab4fan Jacaranda Colin Kopite Melanie Bill Kink LapisLee DCBeatle64 maccascruff retrollama wackadoo Dorothy Ogoble BeatleBarb QueenBee Blackbird1942 Mindy Rose temptresss Love Sculpture Merry billyshears beatlespud manon iscreamer1 cactus flower JeffLynnesBeard beatlechick mspeel 007 doris mendlovitz BeatlesBiggestFan LadyMacca Kit_Kat Bag O'Nails BlueMolly2008 Reverend Dave FamousGroupie I'm pleased to say that we have avoided a BBC/ITV-style voting scandal and have managed to weed out a few attempts at multiple voting forms... you know who you are – and so do we! So, without further ado, I bring you the first award; |
| ...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. | |

(It is puzzling that two people voted for Fiona and she hasn't written a single piece of poetry on this board. Did the two people who voted for her see some of her high school work and felt you had to comment? )

You've produced some really great music this year - thanks for sharing it with us. Actually, this category wasn't very well voted for in 2006 and 2007 and we've had a lot of contenders this year. I think this is thanks largely to Strawberry Fields Radio - so thanks, Bill, for bringing us the opportunity to hear our fellow boardmembers' music all in one place. ![]() |

Album Of The Year Gold Strawberry: Electric Arguments - The Fireman (12 votes) Silver Strawberry: Memory Almost Full - Paul McCartney (3 votes) Bronze Strawberry (Honourable Mention): Ram - Paul & Linda McCartney (2 votes) OK, no surprise that Paul's only release of the year won but a for a 2007 album to gain second place and an album released in 1971 to get the third place? Perhaps some people need to take a little more notice of what other non-Beatle music is out there! |

Villain Of The Year Gold Strawberry: George W. Bush (6 votes) Silver Strawberry (tied): Osama bin Laden & Sarah Palin (4 votes) Bronze Strawberry (Honourable Mentions): Heather Mills (3) & OJ Simpson (3) OK, even I'm embarrassed that Dubya beat Osama bin Laden as villain of the year - but I suppose the former has been in the news a little more than the latter... thankfully... and, it's official: Sarah Palin is equally as evil as Osama. Yes, that's right. You read it here first. ![]() Can't believe how resoundingly Heather Mills got beat this year. She's slipping! C'mon Heather, have a few more mad anti-Macca rants - I need material for The Beard Times! |

One Big Observation: I'm sorry to say that a handful of votes were lost, primarily between Jacaranda and retrollama, because some people weren't specific enough about which Lisa they meant sometimes. There were other instances where I could use my common sense and judgement to count a vote, but others where I just couldn't be sure - and there were too many instances for me to PM individual members to clarify. There are a few members on the board who share the same name. We have at least two 'Linda's as well and a couple of 'Jim's. When filling in your forms next year, it would be preferable if you used usernames only or real names with usernames in brackets. That way, your vote will definitely go to the right person. Thanks for all of your votes, everyone who participated.

well done everyone, and especially well done to Andy for taking the time and effort to do this again... I'm now off to try and get my honesty crown back from the almost honest ROSE and also I don't really know what else to do in order to be the biggest Paul fanatic, I dunno maybe get arrested or something. That seems the obvious next step |

I am so glad Jayne won this one. Out of everyone I feel she does deserve it most. Liverpool was largely great thanks to her...with a wee bit of help from McCartney who we were all there for. She is also a brilliant tour kind. I should come visit again |

Thank you, Dani, that's really nice of you to say. No, I don't know what else you can do to prove you're the biggest Paul fan. You have the tattoos, you met him three times, you've travelled to Liverpool, Paris and Quebec... actually - you didn't go to Israel, did you? Well, that's it, obviously... Next time, go to Israel!

Congrats to everyone and thanks for the fun and awards! Now, if you all saw me after my rugged night and run in the rain this morning, you'd take back that attractive vote back in a New York minute - I sort of look like Nick Nolte's arrest picture a few years back. And....I would love to have a beer, drink, coffee, tea (ok mostly champagne or wine) with each and everyone of you! Let's shoot the b.s. in person! |
