Merseysider can never be accused of being luke warm (Rev 3: 15-16) and so has my nomination. I invariably read his posts first.
I wonder what I did with my time before this forum came into being. I think I may have practic(s)ed the piano/organ, this would part way explain how I managed to omit 2 bars of the Gloria at the Midnight Mass of the Nativity. Fortunately the choir omitted them too.
"One hymn to the tune of another" was good for hearty guffaw or two along with late arrivals of course.
Here's to another year! The first one's been wonderful.
b.t.w. What did you think of the Gospel Acclamation? (Southwark Cathedral's televised midnight mass)?
Interesting that the Beeb went RC on both radio and television though - two Catholic Archbishops on the air waves (or should that be down the digital phone line?)
Apart from the one self-nomination which was disqualified, the nominations were as follows:
Best Editing Merseysider (nominated by Dot)
Best Avatar Vox Americana (Dot & TT)
Sonoqui (Dot & TT)
Best Late Arrival Gwyn (Dot)
Presbyter (Dot)
Contributor most likely to make me smile Gwyn (TT)
Merseysider (TT)
Contributor who has made me think the most Presbyter (TT)
Contributor who has made me think again the most Sidvicius (TT)
Cheekiest contributor Vox Americana (TT)
Contributor who can never be accused of being lukewarm Merseysider (Gwyn)
and the results... Well, since I have no shortage of virtual statuettes, ALL the nominees are winners. However, Merseysider managed to attract three nominations from three different people, and therefore is the overall winner, receiving an especially valuable virtual statuette.
Congratulations to Merseysider and to all the nominees.
I would like to thank everyone who made this possible:
Fr Graeme (my pp) - who humours me
The Immaculate Singers – who inspire me
The congregation of Our Lady Immaculate – who put up with me
All those who nominated me
I couldn't have done it without you.
To you all, cyber hugs and cyber mwahs.
Merseysider
