deltablue Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Goooooooooooooood Evening, Good Evening, Good Evening! And welcome to another edition of QI... erm I mean the 2015 FMCU awards.My name is deltablue and I'll be your (rather nervous, first-time) host this evening. It's a pleasure to be here on what is undoubtedly the highlight of the FMCU calendar and I hope we all have a great evening. Best of luck to everyone tonight!

Greyfriars Bobby Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm surprised I could make it for the beginning. It's almost 3 PM here in the USA, and I'm going out with my family in a bit. I'll have to watch the recap when I get back home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Before we begin I'd like to pay tribute to SRL88. He's been a giant of the forum for the past few years and it's pity that real-life issues mean he's had to take an extended break from the forums, but I hope he'll be back one day. This year's contest is much poorer for his absence, not least because he'd be a much better host Without further ado it's time to hand over to our reporter on the carpet. Making a welcome return after a couple of years' absence, we have Claire... So, what's the news Claire?Claire: Well deltablue, there is plenty of buzz aroud here about who the possible contenders may be. For a start, you yourself are looking for a 3rd Best Poster victory in a row but I bet you've been looking over your shoulder nervously. A trophy-less night for dafuge was the big shock from last year and he'll be hopeful to bounce back from that, while young Danish dynamite dllu will be hoping to make a name for himself. Sydney666 has also won a few hearts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks everyone. I must admit it doesn't feel that exciting winning that one because it was just as easy as I feared it would be given it was my idea in the first place. Still it's my first ever non-Best Poster win, so that's something. Anyway on to... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 On to Best FMCU Thread Name. Last year was a bit of a damp squib, but not so this year. Take a deep breath Emilia... The contenders are... 'An Iberian Adventure: I don't think Iberian here before' by Raware, 'Double the RAM, Double the Fun' by Lenzar, the absolutely terrible 'Got 99 Problems But Norwich Ain't One', 'Hoist the Jolly Roger' by DaveHibb, 'I Know Maastricht but you have to live with it son' by Deisler26, 'Knocking Fergie off his perch: The noisy neighbours are turning up the volume' by northernpilgrim, 'We Have No Cefning Chance' by Nobby McDonald and 'You're not gonna believe this. He killed 16 Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator 3' by b101. *gasps* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 And the winner of Best FMCU Thread Name 2015 is, by almost a literal nose... Got 99 Problems But Norwich Ain't One! This was easily the most exciting category this year. The first 7 sets of votes all threw up different names, then a few drew ahead on just 2 votes and it was literally won on the last set of votes (well penultimate since the very last didn't have a vote for this). I remember opening up that last message, knowing it would probably be the last submission, thinking 'Don't be Deisler, Don't be Deisler, Don't be Deisler!'
