The Awards Thread

connundrum

As awards season is swinging into action, I was thinking about what award I'd most like to win. I always thought I'd like an Oscar or a Grammy.. but apparently some talent (questionable!!) is required to win either.

So I figured I'd be happy with Man of the Year 2007. The award would be given based on a number of factors, least of all being good looks, talent, bank balance and/or likeability.

What would you like to win, or what have you won?*


*If you have won an Oscar/Grammy then I really don't need to know. My heart is in too many pieces already

Or maybe 4th Year wasn't compulsary in his school.

I got the same award for 3rd, 4th and 5th Year.

You don't sound so generous to me.

You should have given the award away to some needy kids...

Literally the only award I was given was Young Creative Writer of the year for 1999. Thats the height of my achievement. Pathetic.

Pherekydes

I won a prize in Statistics. Ok, it was only within the college and not nationwide, but still...

I'd like to win the Booker Prize.

(So I'd better start writing)

Alter-Ego

I won "Music Student of the Year" in my school, in 6th year. Its a huge lump of bronze and will make an ideal murder weapon in the future!

Terry

I won a huge pack of fig rolls with it and I did give it away to kids!
All my all ireland medals and national science quiz victories mean nothing compared to that.

Pah, my friend didn't miss a day in all 14 years of school, including 4th year!

I don't think I've ever won any awards of note .

Is your friend a bionic being?

RoundyMooney

More to the point, how does she know for sure that her mate had an unblemished 14 year attendance record?

Eww...congrats though!

Have won a few awards in the Gaeltacht/school through the years but can't remember what a single one of them was...obviously not the most meaningful awards anyway!

More recently, I was part of a team that won an "award", best college poker team in the country as of Sunday! In yer face NUIG, DIT etc!

Holding out for the Man of the New Millenium award though.

Sangre

Have a few academic and art medals from school. Think they're the only awards I've ever won.

I'm a prize idiot at times - does that mean I win something?

Mrs_Doyle

I have won singing competitions and dancing competitions, but I don't think I have ever won an award.. as in I have never been "The most..." or "the best..." or anything like that.
