The Curry Awards 2012


Right, fuck all the togging wanky waxwings, papin' kingfishfingers and talk of Swedish duck invasions  - WTF is happening with the awards ceremony at this years most prestigious birding shakedown? 

There must be the 'stringer of the century' award (we are only twelve years in, but fuck it)
There must be the 'most hours in the 'field' and seeing fuck all down cozi' award
There must be the 'maddest blog/post of the year' award (Snipe to collect)
There must be the 'find of the year' for the Einstein award (we may have to let this rollover)
There must be the 'how many times can say ''great shot - well done!!'' in one day'' award

And last but not least..., There must be... wait for it..... 'competitive togger of the year!!!' award!! Hoorah!! *holds head in hands* 

Can't wait as ever... See you there!

and since when exactly were you promoted to the most illustrious position of award decider? everyone knows we ( the select few) sit around a table at a secret location,sippin' moonshine and smokin' skunk whilst deciding (quite democratically and fairly I might add) who and why the various recipients will be. Now if you are just dropping hints and think you deserve one such trophy,think again my friend. Randal has already chosen the recipient of the 'Einstien' and I don't want to drop any hints as to whom that might be,do I Jeff? but on a more serious note,who do you suggest gets your awards?

Oh sorry Slap - didn't mean to infiltrate the core committee on proceedings... I am fully confident you and the aforementioned will deliver the appropriate accolades, however, it was looking a bit quiet, so I thought I would offer some help.

RE. the ‘hint’ dropping, I would never try to take the Einstein away from its rightful owner! ;0)
Shortlisted for my awards is follows....

There must be the 'stringer of the century' award (we are only twelve years in, but fuck it)- your good self & the ‘wader’ for the ‘iffy’ flyover GWE @ Lamby ;0) xx
There must be the 'most hours in the 'field' and seeing fuck all down cozi' award - Me!
There must be the 'maddest blog/post of the year' award (Snipe to collect)- ‘munchie the budgie’
There must be the 'find of the year' for the Einstein award (we may have to let this rollover)- Self explanatory
There must be the 'how many times can say ''great shot - well done!!'' in one day'' award - that’s easy... Smudger!!

And last but not least..., there must be... wait for it..... 'competitive togger of the year!!!' award!! Hoorah!! Errr.... not sure on this one – maybe there should be small boxing match between the finalists – Queensbury rules apply of course!

I protest - I have not said great shots as many times as Jeffers!!!

By the way - I won the Mark Spitz look alike comp last year with all my medals.
I still have them and they hang in prominence in my cell.
I am considering bringing them to the event to show off - my fav was worst photo of the year 2011.
I think Tiger has completely swamped the entries in that field this year?
Do the medals get recycled?
Happy Waxings!

Meehan, you have crossed the line. Next Tuesday, you're going to be entering a whole world of pain my little RSPB monkey ..... a whole world of pain ....

PS Your curry is on us next week .... obviously we get to choose the dish ..... anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of raw mussel and cockle phaal (the seafood would of course be organically sourced from the mouth of the shit pipe at RGW ... we fucking hate food miles here at CBC central). Suit you sir?????
