Once again, reiterate that this thread is not an excuse to vent about another poster, keep it positive or don't say anything at all. Simple.

Assumed GF was nominating himself to run it, happy to stay on as an overpaid consultant but cbf doing it again myself. Was looking through last year's thread recently, this the highlight imo, especially in light of the eventual winner:

I would do my childish thing of last year, of banning people from voting for me, because I knew I'd get humiliated sooner or later, but I haven't the energy. Gimp shouldn't vote for me though, he's a bit, well ya know, surely you know, I don't have to spell it out, it's just distasteful, and no matter how poor a muckerr is at times we must keep quiet, and try not to slag them off, at times they can't even help it. makes me shudder, but ya know, even scousers are allowed to live in society nowadays. Pc gone Mad, IMHO.

I don't mind running it, unless someone is absolutely desperate to run this, or objects to me doing it.

Thought last year's format was pretty good, the first round was pretty good at sorting the wheat from the chaff, and whilst it avoided big clashes like Burgey vs Smitteh in '10, it also avoids the possibility of a totally forgettable tie in the first round.

Like I said the other day, it'd be be a honour but obviously I've got my own boarding processes to focus on and that's what I'm focusing on right now.
