Battlescarred, jef or Ret for contributor of the year.

Photoshop image has to be the one Jack did of the fridge with the head saying "free John Bowden!"

Worst thread: bookfair scrapette

Best new poster: mikus?

mem: laughed out loud at the 'leaning on a bar, but the bar not being there' meme, so it has t be that

Best threat of the year I'm afraid must be either "I'll stick your head in a fucking fridge!" or "This ain't over- not by a long shot!", despite neither being posted on here.
