With all the excitement of this spiffing new board, I forgot all about the Christmas competition. The fact that we had roughly one and a half entries didn't help. Anyway, looks like Diane has won. I seem to remember she launched herself into it once again.(This was on the previous board so I can't actually check. Maybe I can. I can't be bothered.) DIANE WINS!
The slight snag now is that I don't think Diane has registered for the new board yet so I'll give her a couple of days and, if she doesn't show up, I'll email her.
-
If she wants me to register her and set up the account, just ask.
-
What was the competition?
When was this?
How come I didn't win?
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Here's a link to the old thread, Roger: http://p2.forumforfree.com/christmas-competition-vt174-beaupeep.html (http://p2.forumforfree.com/christmas-competition-vt174-beaupeep.html)

Call that a winning entry? Who was the judge, Helen Keller?
Didn't you even SEE my stuff you incompetent gits? I'm sick to the back teeth of being ignored by people who obviously have some kind of bias towards me, and take a twisted delight in passing me over for honours, awards and the like. It's the last time I enter one of your stupid competitions.
Oh, and congratulations to all who took part.

Well done Diane... it looks like the competition was fierce - but you beat them all!
-
I'll talk about this later as I have to go off and play golf just now. I mean go to a very important business meeting. Not golf. Certainly..um..not golf.
-
When I said "bias towards me", of course I meant "bias AGAINST me..."
-
I noticed that, Malky, but was too much of a gentleman to point it out. Tell you what, since you took losing so well, email me with your postal address and I'll send you a consolation prize.
Had a beer with the other Malky (McCormick) the other week. His son is still suffering badly from that horrific, unprovoked attack on him nearly three years ago.(The assailants have done their time and are back on the streets.) His wife, Ann, has finally been given the all-clear after months of worry regarding a scan. Malky himself is on crutches following an operation on arthritic ankles. Ask him how he's doing...
"Hunky Dory!"
An amazing wee guy and a brilliant caricaturist/cartoonist.
-
Okay, I'm lost. Was Malky McGookin being sarcastic or not?
-
If I kick up a fuss, do I get a consolation prize as well? I mean, besides the used, cracked mug you're already sending me as payment for this web site.
-
You haven't sent me your address yet, Mincey! (Also, Roger hasn't said whether it's OK to let you have one). They're going fast, and Xmas is almost here, and they make ideal Xmas gifts...
Malcolm McGookin is extremely big down under, he'll have us believe. That's the reason he has so much influence on cartoon-related forums, and why Roger is nice to him. ;)
Roger, your story about the other Malky is an example to us. I hope life gets better for him soon.
-
Let me get this right. Are you saying that Roger can't even part with a used, cracked mug? This deal is getting worse and worse. Is he going to wash it first before sending it to me?
-
For Goodness Sake, Nige, send the man a mug. And, Mince, send me your postal address...I have a bill for you.
-
What's the bill for? Washing the cup?
-
Yes, Malky McGookin was only joking. Idiot.
-
What happened to Malky's son was a disgusting thing. The perpetrators should be inside for life, because it's only a matter of time before they do it to someone else.
On a light note, (and I probably told you all this before in another forum), I used to attend the same folk clubs as Malky's skiffle band the Vindscreen Vipers which also had Danny Kyle and the unbelievable Mike Whellans, who apparently lived in Norway at the time, -a brilliant act.
I was an up-and-coming folkie of eighteen or so, and on occasion got the floor singer spot at the Eglinton Arms hotel in Irvine. Not that I did much folk stuff, it was all Neil Young and Dylan. Afterwards the VV's would hang around the bar and actually talk to us, which was cool.
Malky was not only the banjo player, he used to post large pieces of A2 or A1 paper round the hall and at some stage during the evening, he'd get up and draw a big cartoon "live" on each of them. They were a big hit.
Jeez, with my old mate Graeme appearing on the other board, this is turning into a trip down memory lane right enough.

That's good to know. Er . . . that he was joking, not that I'm an idiot. And I don't mean by that that it's not good to know that I am an idiot: I mean that I'm not an idiot. I hope that's clarified everything.
-
I can't believe I didn't win this competition.
-
Are you joking?
My submission and its subsequent voluntary withdrawal was an attempt at abstract answering. Clearly the humour went right over Roger's head. I agree with Malky McGookin: Helen Keller wannabe.
-
I just read over my winning entry and I think it was rather good especially "Little Bare" for Vera
