Title: 2021 Whiffie Awards Polls Closing Tonight at 8pm GMT
Post by: tc2324 on October 16, 2021, 07:10:01 AM
Hi all,

Again apologies for the late polls and awards show this year but you now have 2 weeks to cast your votes with the Show premiering on 6th November. (Still awaiting Netflix to take up the broadcast rights for next year)  ;D 

Please note that the Top Gun Award isn`t listed this year, hopefully this will return next year.

Any issues or questions, please do get in touch.

See you all on the 6th November.  :thumbsup:

Regards,

The Academy

It took me a while to cast my votes - and I did it pretty quickly on first impressions. It must have taken quite a while to put it all together.

(I thought it best to see all categories in one go, so I don't miss anything)

Once again you have done great things for Whiffworld!!  You are now entitled to a brisk lie-down and a glass of the stimulant of your choice.

Voting was difficult enough, organising it must be a nightmare.  THANK YOU

So many hard choices! And so much inspiration!

Most impressive is, however, the setting up of the voting in all categories. What an achievement!  :wub:

Second to what everyone has said about setting all this up. I wouldn't know where to start. Big thanks from me!
Also the quality seems to get better every year! The choices were really tough. Can we have a "vote for all" button?

Excitedly waiting for the Awards Show, got my best blue Bonds singlet (a.k.a. "wife-beater"), Stubbies (shorts, not the underwear type) & thongs (again, not the underwear type ... flip-flops, I think some non-Aussies call 'em) all lined up, ready to go! :thumbsup:

Although I might go with the Rossi's instead of the thongs, you know, for a bit of real class! ;D

No idea.

Used to be a 50m limit in the NT when I was a cop up there but that was before B-doubles & a heap of other things.

My guess, looking at the photo, is about 70m (+/-).

Ok, so over the next 30 minutes or so I`m going to be turning off the voting and doing what I need to do.

The Awards show will be held at 8pm GMT on Saturday the 6th November.

See your there.

I shall anethsetize them first, with some fine Scotch Malt, so they will feel nothing, then I will enter their minds using the ancient Celtic magic that I inherited from my Granny (she was of Irish origin) and make them realise the error of their ways.

So is there some sort of banquet to accompany the awards show?  If so can I assume it will be primarily pork pies? Also will it be assigned seating?  I'd rather not be at a table full of weirdos.

The event has been caught in a temporary  tempero-spacial vortex  and will  emerge in due course.  The moderators are initiating the damping protocols and.........insert technobabble phrases of your choice here.........with the result that the continuum will  successfully realign.

Simple version....something happened when the UK changed from summer time back to GMT.   There is no evidence (on this occasion) that Kit's hat has produced a 22 degree distortion in the Tellus S2 VX 46 shell-field. 

Patrons are earnestly requested   under all circumstances not to make  turns in excess of 4G,  refrain from the use of mobile phones  and naked lights, nor converse in Esperanto or break wind audibly until reality has been re-established.

Hi all,

My absolute apologies, a huge cock up on my front, real life getting in the way, over stretched on so many fronts with a good dose of completely forgot due to aforementioned reasons.

Very embarrassed especially as it is going to be my last one. :banghead:

I will post up the results this coming weekend come hell or high water by the same time, just a week late.

Sorry guys.
