Having read Ted Max's* brilliant little vignettes AND seeing the responses to same, I would like to inaugurate the


FOTM - Forumite of The Month


award...


and nominate Ted


(of course, if it follows football's Manager of teh Month award he will have a shocker of a November


For future awards maybe we could have some rules ? Nominees to be forwarded in the last week of a calendar month and the winner announced early the following month?


* maybe it's already been discussed but only by typing his name have I realised where he lives - doh!

I think the above nominees are indeed worthy, but have to say that Ted's narrative on the CPT thread has me hooked and he should be the inaurgural Forumite Of The Month.


I've also just fallen in about Ted's whereabouts after seeing Sean M's post again.

I'd always thought of TM as a very big fan of rock 'n' roll, in fact I shall continue to do so.

"yawn" as in the very concept?

"yawn" as in Ted Max's pieces are boring?

"yawn" as in you have gone to the trouble of not making any clear point on a thread that doesn't interest you?


Disagree by all means but try and make it clear what excatly it is yuo are disagreeing with and why. Just so we can bore you less next time if nothing else

yeah I did think of that as well - but then I figured I have no idea who you are from Adam so how could it be so...? I'm going entirely on your posts.


If some people want to think it's an exclusive club I have long lost the will to go around correcting them - some people believe what they want to believe


Maybe the idea is destined for the bin...but for now...

In which case, purely in the interests of inclusiveness, I'll move my vote to Scorpion who after 20 odd posts in the wanted section/song game, not so much dips her toes in the water but jumps in shouting GERONIMOOOOOO, in the new cooking thread.


Hats off, and a thoroughly readable post it was too.

I say the award stands and is granted on the seventh of each month.

As for the possible accusations of cronyism, lets not give a fig about it.

Do you think the the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences frets abouit people wondering if they're a bit too matey for their own good?

Does the Booker Prize committee worry whether the great unwashed make slighting remarks about the their long lists and short lists?

Do you think George Clooney lies awake worrying when it's hinted that some of his films might just be a bit of a jolly-up for him and his 'buddies'?

The answer to all of the above is, do they buggery.

If someone even hints there might be some some sort of elitist shennanigans going on, on the EDF, tell him quietly and firmly to go shit in his hat.

    • I have not. Both things are true.
    • I have been thinking about it and what I have loosely come up with so far are sites and types. Sites Here, Comment is Free, the Independent, the BBC (difficult as their comments section is only ever on trivia), The Telegraph (less so but increasing), The times (rapidly increasing), New Statesman, Spectator (much less so but some increase) even the Daily Mail and UnHerd (perhaps even union platforms, agit-prop and "progressive" platforms, XR, "middle-East", Just Stop Oil, Reddit, Bluesky, Truth Social etc.) I am sure the AI will find more to cross-reference. Types Astro-turfers, single-issue obsessives (frequently overlap with Astro-turfers), floral enforcers, ideologues, political staff, hypocrites, luxury belief pushers, Igors and Renfields. The vast majority are; normal local residents a bit frustrated with something; those looking for a tradesman; or just the friendly saying hello and looking for a bit of community. Spartacus thank you. Although you should probably find something else  more interesting to occupy your time; my energy for this is rapidly deflating. It won't disappear and I will get it done (once I work out which AI and which parameters to use) but it might not happen for a while. I saw your comment on the PIP thread; you have to use your single worst day to apply. Being bravely determined not to be defeated (a quality most normal people find admirable and honourable) means your claim can easily be rejected or at least made difficult. "I will get up, I will walk to the shop, I will cook". Those are the tests you have to make clear you only ever fail at. Sorry but its the truth. I wish you good luck with it.
    • Going by tracking information they go via Croydon and East Dulwich (Peckham) sorting offices. Round my way, and I know it varies from street to street, delivery of tracked items brought by the regular postman is mostly reliable. I've noticed if there isn't a postman doing a regular round, there may be a walking postman just delivering the tracked items. 
    • Are the parcel services organised by the local sorting office? We always notice parcels delivered by the vans are delivered on time but those that come via the postie can be unpredictable and we often get a "you were not in" when no-one even attempted delivery.
