    Though I have championed "Its beginning to look a lot like the Christmas chat thread" there are some bloody good ones there.

    "Sing It Loud For All To Hear - Spreading Christmas Cheer Part 3"

    "The Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins Chat Thread"

    The above ones are confusing my previous certainty.

    Some fantastic choices there. I love some of the covid 19 related ones but on a point of principle cant vote for them as I want this episode of my life banished & forgotten ASAP and certainly would prefer to not be reminded of it when I come in here, the most welcoming comfortable place on the whole tinterweb!!

    There's some really good ones, it's going to be a tight vote from the way things are going already :)

    It just gives us incentive to get to 10,000 posts quicker to use the next name that missed out :P

    So it is exactly 24 hours until the poll closes.

    I can tell you 3 of the selections have significantly more votes than the other contenders. Out of the top 3, 2 of them are COVID related....

    I'm kind of excited. In the end I didn't vote for one of my own. This is just that kind of place. :)

    Unless something dramatic happens I think we have a clear leader with 38% of the vote.

    I didn't vote for my own either, too many clever options to go for.

    Stuff the pandemic- its time to talk turkey did get off to a 3 vote lead but quickly fell away as Christmas overcame the pandemic :)
