The 2007 BGRH Awards Nominations Thread - The Bellies

Zaph

Following on from Brother monkeyfudge's suggestion, eh, somewhere, seeing as BGRH has done so well in the main Boards awards nominations I think we should pat ourselves on the back. With this in mind, I'm pleased to announce that nominations are now being taken for the first ever BGRH Awards (The Bellies). This is sure to be a coveted honour in years to come, so I urge you all to think long and hard about who we should vote for and, more importantly, what categories we vote on. Here's some to kick things off:

Brother of the Year - TBA
Brotherette of the Year - TBA
Mod of the Year - we could have a vote or just throw Brothers Tom and Robbo into one of those ultimate fighting cages and let them slug it out. I'm veering towards the latter.
Thread of the Year - TBA

And seeing as there's bound to be a least one or two non-Brothers or Brotherettes we like out there:
Non BGRH-Regular Poster of the Year - TBA

I'll add my nominations in a while when I've had a think, but everyone else feel free to add your own.

AlmightyCushion

Brother of the Year - Where to start, so many. Hagar, Monkeyfudge, Trout, Rig(all those pictures of boobs), Tom(we wouldn't have a bar without him).

Brotherette of the Year - We really need pictures for that one. Bronte, maple, malteaser!

Mod of the Year - A drink off is the only way to decide.

Thread of the Year - The bar, or the one where yer man was thinking about eating dog food just for it's sheer bizaarness. It didn't last long though

Just a quick of the top of my head list.

pretty-in-pink

Poll please! This needs thought

Zaph

I'll stick up some polls when we have the categories and nominees sorted, but in the meantime feel free to propose as many of each as you like.

The BGRH alchoholic of the year award. I would like to win that.

pretty-in-pink

Brother of the Year - AC, Tom, Monkeyfudge, Riggs, Slo-Mo, Zaph, Niall, 6th, faceman, gillo, trout, des,

Brotherette of the Year - IB, Star-pants, Kaz, bronte, watna, dudess

Mod of the Year - Cross dressing karoke night, best costume/ character wins

Thread of the Year - the bar, boner weds, the sexist one,after sex, my wimmins one

Non BGRH-Regular Poster of the Year - randylonghorn, blitzkrieg, terry

ummmm theres more, I'll come back, mind gone blank

watna

Good work, pretty in pink! I'm thinking along the same lines.

I'd like to add Mairt to brother of the year, although he has been quiet recently. I have a soft spot for him though cos of the way he talks about his kids!

Brotherette of the year: As above, obviously adding PiP

Mod of the year: For this we need a mod off, with a number of rounds

1) drink off... Give the mods progressively more disgusting drinks, whoever quits first loses.

2) eat off ... a hot dog/burger eating competition. Give them 5 minutes, See who eats the most.

3) a belly off .. we can compare various aspect of the mods beer bellies. Give then points for roundyness/hairiness etc

4) A Simpsons off ..... After they're drunk from the drink off and fat-bellied from the eat off we ask them incresingly more difficult simpsons questions to ascertain their commitment to sitting in their lazyboys in the evening in front of the tv (any wrong answers, that's a paddling, of course!)

Thread of the year: I have to vote for the bar of course, for the random chat and the fact that there's always someone in there!

Non BGRH poster of the year: emmm I vote Terry, due to his sarcasticness and perfect spelling and grammar!

I'll do some more thinking!

pretty-in-pink

Mairt , thats one I forgot, and I know theres more

watna

I also think we should make award statues. They can be big gold bellies on a stick. Magnificent!

pretty-in-pink

Oh, yes I likes.

dinxminx, maple, malteaser, happygirl

You can't nominate everyone, there are only 10 options in a poll!

watna wrote: »

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I've a little more hair and I'm a little less golden.

Are you as happy? That Buddha is seriously pleased about something!

Smug little git, ain't he?

Yeah, i'm pretty much always happy, it takes a hell of a lot to p*ss me off.

I think I've just had an insight ... Buddha has golden balls ... that's very Zen, or something.

David Beckham is Buddha?

Hagar

He has his own bar in Blanch AFAIK.

Hagar wrote: »

He has his own bar in Blanch as far AFAIK.

Ah yes ... the Beckham Bar :rolleyes:

I spurn that place as I would spurn a rabid dog ... due to how the staff there treated my pregnant wife.
Nothing is more sacred and worthy of respect than a pregnant wimmins ... specially when it's mrs trout :mad:

WEll thast reason not to go to Blanch

It's been closed down for well over a year now.

Hagar

Well I've been in France for 3 yrs and I was never in it anyway so I have no idea why anyone listens to me.

pretty-in-pink

Because we are nice people, who like a good yarn

Well I knew it would be a bit difficult for you get just drop into the place, but I just mentioned that it was closed in case you were ever coming home especially to go there.

zaph wrote: »

And the moral of the story is ... don't mess with mrs trout when she's pregnant.
Or angry. Or anywhere near her solicitor pals.

'nuff said.

Hagar

If I get that far I'll be into TGI FRidays* for a feed and a few Long Island Iced Teas. Then off to the Lidl car park to buy a laptop from a guy in a foreign regged car.

* Don't tell me they're closed as well.

pretty-in-pink

Nope, TGIs has at least 2 branches now. And electric lemonade ftw

trout

The laptop guy is still in business ... good deals too!

Not sure about the other places

Zaph

OK, I've had a think and here are my nominations:

Brother of the Year - Brother Hagar
Brotherette of the Year - while all the wimmins are lovely and all deserve a prize, Irishbird did organise the beers which gets her my nomination
Thread of the Year - The Wit & Wisdom of Pa Trout
Non BGRH-Regular Poster of the Year - Terry
Alcoholic of the Year - Brother Petes, formerly of this parish

More may follow

And if you end up with cans of milk instead of a laptop it won't be so bad.. you'll just be extra popular at the next BG&RH beers.

LOL I nearly spat my tea over the keyboard...

These BGRH awards sound interesting.... most of ye have put up the main peoples already. I'm liking the drink/eat/belly off to decide best mod
I'm sure the boys would prefer the wimmin in aprons battling it out for brotherette with condensed milk...oh wait...or would that just be trout?

By the by - TGIs, there's at least 1 in town, there's 1 in Blanch and 1 in Dundrum. OH and their 'apple pie' is a LIE...a LIE!!!

I believe I do...think it has a pocket or two

Zaph

OK, I've started keeping score of the nominations. I reckon the top 3 in each category will go for the final vote, depending on the numbers nominated. You're allowed 1 nomination per category, so if you've already nominated multiple times I'm afraid I can't accept it, it's just too hard to keep track. Please feel free to nominate again.

Nominations close midnight Sunday next, 24th November.

Tom Dunne

As a side note - to we want to organise a mini-beers for the award ceremony?

I'm thinking the week before Christmas or even over the Christmas?

A poll perhaps?

Myself and Robbo will of course compère for the night.

You might even get to see our bellies.

trout

these awards ... will there be a boobeh prize

Zaph

Could be a runner, although I'm pretty much booked up on the run up to Christmas, as are a lot of people I'd say, so over Christmas might be good. Was trying to organise beers on the D15 forum before Christmas and it's proving nearly impossible.

You'd have to ask the wimmins

pretty-in-pink

I has a Christmas party organised. I'll let ye know what spaces are free, I can count 10, I thinks. Its the 22. I'll get back to you.....

As good a way as any! I'd say everyone would have several alternatives for the top two awards, it's tough picking one.
