yeah thanks, unfortunately i'm mulling over deleting my account. it's more habit than anything else that keeps bringing me back, but the bad atmosphere, control of one or two people on here and spam and that days could go by without any conversation. i know the great WAN exodus (or wexo) was a while ago, but i've never been in line with the majority....

WANer of the Year: BB (about time she won it).
Person of the Year: David Bowie and Leonard Cohen for getting decent albums out right before they died. Also Hadley Freeman in the Grauniad because her Trump piss-takes have been hilarious all year (and I fancy her). Also Steve Bell in the Grauniad, because his cartoons are always fecking brilliant (I don't fancy him though, or not much anyway).
Celebrity death(s) of the Year: David Bowie and Leonard Cohen (though I still refuse to believe that Bowie would ever do something so tediously human as die. Cohen, of course, was SO human he had to do it sooner or later).
Cunt of the Year: Death, for taking so many proper celebs (as in, people with talent rather than the shit ones who appear on all those shit "Shit Wannabe Celebs Do Shit Stuff On Shit TV" shit shows). Also, obviously, Trump, Clinton (you nearly had it, you fuckwit, and even you'd have been better than Trump), Farage and Nuttal and Carswell, 52% of the British electorate, Cameron and May and all the rest Tory party (especially BoJo, Hammond and Gove), most of the Lib-Dems, most of Labour, Clarkson, all the shit wannabe celebs who appear on all those shit "Shit Wannabe Celebs Do Shit Stuff On Shit TV" shit shows, NetFlix (fuck, all those box sets are boring - this century's penny dreadfuls*). BigMal (lol).
Event of the Year: The day when Parliament said "Right, the general public clearly can't be trusted to make decisions, so we've decided to abandon Brexit" (hopefully happening soon).

*I thought of that myself, and I'm going to be hammering the hell out of it 'cos I think it's well clever innit.

I will collate the results around the 19th December. As ever, any ties will be settled by my deciding vote in favour of people who haven't won it before.

Published by Silent Rob at 8:23am on Thu 1st December 2016.

Wow, we've had a MASSIVE response this year.

If you haven't voted yet please do so before Monday.

If someone could vote for WANer of the year so we don't get a three way tie then that would be nice...

Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking I have to ask you one question.
