CrazyDave Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Apparently this self love fest is on tonight. Can anyone explain the point of an award, that you nominate yourself for? Or have I misunderstood and have the “finalists” been selected or nominated by other people? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It is indeed a self love fest best avoided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cueey Lewis And The News Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 What a circle jerk award. I believe the big screens were funded by Tom Kirby / Bushys Brewery and have nothing to do with the commissioners other than being sat on their land. Never-mind they are happy to accept initiative of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
