Yes - our annual celebration of the gems that members post now has its own sub-forum!! Welcome one and all.

From now on, we're going to have this thread running all throughout the year. That way you won't have the stress of trying to remember or find that terrific post that you half remember someone saying nine months earlier. You can simply quote it in this thread, let us know who said it, and it will be nominated.

At the end of the year, we'll then vote to decide on a winner who will be awarded our prestigious Post Of The Year award. Possibly by a guest celebrity*.

*Or possibly not

This is your chance to let someone know how much their post has made you laugh/cry/think/learn/marvel, and we look forward to seeing which posts are your cream of the crop this year.

Allow me to gently re-invite everyone to quote their Posts Of The Year in this thread by making my own nomination.



This post by @Alexis is sure to set the tone for the calibre of our 2021 nominees:

Beautiful bugle beaded, shimmering herpes. Herpes wearing gowns, herpes in cinched waisted broad shouldered suits, herpes in turbans and jewels. Champagne drinking herpes, caviar devouring herpes, herpes on a bear skin rug. Herpes wearing Forever Krystle or Scoundrel and bare skin wrapped in sable fur coats. Herpes eating out of season strawberries flown in from Patagonia.
That kind of herpes....

The best kind of herpes.....

DYNASTY HERPES.

We finally have a second nominee.

@Sarah has nominated this post made by @Snarky Oracle:

The 1975 pilot for STARSKY & HUTCH had them working for the LAPD, but when they went to series, they suddenly worked for the fictional Bay City police department. After all, you wouldn't want to think the department in L.A. mowed down their suspects so frivolously. Or that they drove like that.



I've liked some explanation for why, by the point of nuDALLAS, Southfork was now on Hogge Road in Parker in Collin County and no longer on Braddock Road in Braddock Texas. Of course, I've fan-wanked it in my head so that Braddock County was excised from Collin County as part of a deal struck between Jock and Sam Culver in the '40s when they helped LBJ with his little Box 13 scandal -- a deal which had a time limit of 50 years.



Because...

I’m nominating this thread for Post of the Year simply for the use of the word fan-wank :llooll:






If anyone has other nominations, feel free to quote them in this thread.

It's looking to be a 50/50 between Alexis and Snarky this year.

That is unless anyone wants to nominate any of the tens of thousands of other posts made this year. ;)

My post of the year wasn't a witty one but one that was really interesting to read. I enjoyed all the answers in the In The Spotlight thread but I particularly enjoyed reading those by @pete lashmar because I knew almost nothing about him before and I found his open, expansive and honest responses fascinating. This one stood out the most and is my nomination for post of the year:


I've been exceptionally lucky in meeting so many people from my days in the west end theatres. On my 18th birthday we had Lisa Minnelli at The London Palladium. Madonna arrived with Sean Penn as they were in the UK filming their smash (s)hit movie Shanghai Surprise and there was a huge paparazzi entourage so he left early. I was then invited out with them as it was my birthday and we went out, had a great meal, a great laugh and I remember very very little of it - but it's a story I love to tell. Liza was on top form for 2 weeks at the theatre and Madonna, from what I remember was very funny and chatty.

I also met Ken Kercheval when he came to see La Cage Aux Folles. I did approach him as a huge Dallas fan and he was wonderful - so much bigger than I expected, height wise.

Freddie Mercury is probably the one I remember most - arrving at La Cage in a huge fur coast that completely swamped him but he was so gracious and it was probably my only OMG moment. I still cry now when I see him on TV, such a sad sad time in our lives, when we lost so many special people.

Who would play me in a film, probably the late, great Rick Mayall, lots of people say we looked and acted similar - ugly and childish.

The best part of my life that would make a film is probably when I was a rep - lots of big characters, lots of alcohol and so many funny moments and dare I say hangover comedy. It was a time when life was carefree and fun with the odd drama popping up once in a while. Oh but those stories still turn in my head and it just makes me smile so much.

Who would I like most to meet...probably Freddie, the man just astounds me with his talent. But if it were someone alive I would have to go with Neil Tennent from Pet Shop Boys - their music has changed my life in so many ways, I would adore to meet him (and Chris Lowe) just to have a brilliantly long chat and get to know him/them.
