I gather they are waiting to finalise the latest categories. On insider information *looks left, looks right* I can now reveal a number of the new categories that we can vote on:

Best new cricket game that didn't materialise.

There are several games that fall into this category but everyone is tipping "Cricket Wife: ultra-deluxe edition" to top the ratings this year. An Indian outfit based in Zimbabwe has been developing this game since the early eighties. It started off as a small group of enthusiasts in a garage in the suburbs of Harare. Things developed from there and now they have lost the garage.

The game is the most realistic attempt ever to put you the player into the driving seat of a Cricket Wife.....amazing statistics and opportunities flood the screen as you get determine which handbag with which shoes, heavy mascara or light blush, a quiet night in or a massive orgy in the cricket club canteen, supportive players wife or tell the gutter press all about Kevin's underwear fetish??

Due to a number of copyright issues, including law suits filed by a number of software companies making similiar games,
(Traindrivers Wife, Astronauts Wife, Golf-Caddies Wife, Tupperware Assistants Wife, Sausage Makers Wife etceterea.), the game has been put on hold. Also a number of lawsuits have been filed under the heading "unrealsitic advertising". Apparently the slogan "be an England Cricket Players Wife: Smart, Intelligent, Supportive, Beautiful!" didn't go down too well at the ECB


Worst staff member in the living history of Planet cricket.

There are a number who fall into the category but a special place is being given to those staff members who still carry around the famed blue badge without doing anything at all except turn up every 8 months or so and spew the most uncoordinated rubbish imaginiable and dissapear again. Mmm, disgraceful.


Best Cricket Song Never to Reach Number One.

Ah a fabulous category this. So many to choose from. Who doesn't remember:

"Diedrie Wheres Me Middle Stump Gone?" by Ken Barlow and the Ratchet Spanners

"Feed the Cat, Dont they know there's Cricket On?" by Gland Aid

"If You Happen to See the Most Ludicriously Overrated Televison Deal In The World, Tell It I Need It!" by The Mumbai Rats feat. BCCI

"99 Centuries" by Grand Master Sachin feat. Lena


Well folks if any body asks you, I wasn't here!

Have a great Christmas if thats what you do in your part of the world, if not, have a great time anyway!

Funny haha

Surely Colin's a shoe in for worst staff member?

And how did you forget "Broader than Broadway" by Ken Barrington... Absolute tune.

I'd have won it every year if I hadn't fixed the voting.
Worst staff member is affectionately known as the Highlander999 Award

Haha, surely no one has ever trusted Tom with more than his own safety? Even then I heard he has to wear a crash helmet and a lifejacket wherever he goes. Even in Austria.

They say the BCCI is corrupt, but it's got nothing on the PCMA ... (planet cricket moderation administration).

Hence both of us being against the decision review system.

Even litto? It provides an excellent barometer as to whether any literature was present in a post.

I've heard posteye can have difficulties extrapolating potential posts, but for the most part it's 95% accurate, and apparently even more accurate than idle blind speculation.

Personally I'm equally as a reticient to use post spot. If only because I don't like anagrams.

"Litto" has been abandoned as a useful tool many moons ago here at PC as it just wasn't worth the expense of keeping it stored: it's not been neccessary for a long time to judge whether there was any literary worth in a post. There are too many other useless tools floating around here as well. Believe me, I am an expert.

Trials are continuing with "Sacho" an instrument that measures how far up the toungue reaches and "Smilo" that determines whether a posting in the "Cricket 07 Download" forum complies with the regulation (at least 8) amount of random smilies. This one is difficult to measure of course because of the different rules in the sub-continent.

I myself am working on "Saddo", that measures the amount of time I spend on here compared with what I actually could be doing. I am still fine-tuning that one!

 

[puddleduck]

I would suggest making it go up to 11 as 11 is a bigger number than 10.
