How the hell did this get into my conversation list? I don't recall signing onto these convos, but then again, it is always possible... my memory is not too good.

Following a claim¹ in post 30 that "the Moon Rover goes brum", Grimdean ( U563386 ) replied :

I don't think U292 Jimster can be an official candidate, but I like his

We're a bit slow today because we're fixing the thing that, er, makes things slow...

so is that May over or do we think that 1 per month is a tad ambitious? Should we perhaps do a quarterly until things pick up a bit?

And I see no reason why an italic can't be eligible!

Considering the minimal level of activity, I think that 1 per month is far too ambitious

Hence the tilde in the subject line, which was included to infer an 'open ended' timeframe

However, the decision is not mine alone - the 'administration rights' of U226522 are available to all members


To receive the log-in details
1. post a message to F86994?thread=271784&latest=1
2. email wildeawards AT operamail DOT com


PS I agree with you Ictoan, the Italics should be eligible to be nominated - if they say something clever

Yeah, well don't hold your breath...

I nominate Mr Christopher, U170904, for Post 6903 of F19585?thread=76493&skip=6900&show=20 [Ask h2g2\Tell Us A Joke], which I found sublime

Wouldn't that mean that the town only exists between courses, i.e. at mealtime?

Anyone still subscribed/interested?

The operamail account mentioned above has been inactive for so long that all of the messages have disappeared into the sub-etha

New address: WildeAwards AT gmail DOT com

Still subscribed and interested, yes - but not in being an administrator

ditto for the moment. I keep trying to plug it to people as well!
