Welcome to the first Annual Bubhub Awards Evening, the red carpet starts here …

[xkwzit]

Has everyone got their tiaras and / or blacktie on? Well then, welcome everyone to this auspicious occasion. I am xkwzit, your host for this evening’s production and I hope that you enjoy the evening.

Tonight we will be presenting the winners of the first annual Bubhub Awards with their awards. The awards will gradually be announced one by one to allow the winners to appear to “accept” their award. If they are not watching this thread at the time, we will accept the award on their behalf. It is advised that acceptance speeches are kept brief (we won’t drown you out with an orchestra, but we might think that you aren’t here and accept on your behalf while you are still typing your long acceptance post!). You will probably have a little time between awards to hang out at the back fence or put the children to bed (or what ever else you might have to be doing right now ;) ).

To avoid confusion, (I can be VERY easily confused) can I ask that any posts congratulating award winners are made after all the awards have been handed out. Alternatively, if you are feeling energetic, feel free to start a congratulations thread and hop between the two.

Now onto the awards:

[xkwzit]

Our first award is the Be Excellent Award for the most PC bubhubber. The nominees are:
Any regular from the Bleeding Heart, Lefty and Proud thread (gotta love those girls :D )
Coopsntilly
MarthaM
Draught
Happy Lady
Bron
Xkwzit
Thomasmum

And the winner is:


MarthaM :D

Martha, please come and accept your award.

[draught]

Hmmmm...unless Martha is lurking she isn't here to accept her award, so I will do it for her (as a fellow mod) and blame it on her being Canadian - everyone knows that they are nice - ask any American!

[xkwzit]

Thanks very much for that Draught (you may end up doing a few of these tonight)

Now we have a personal favourite of mine, the Wish I hadn’t Read That Award for the most bizarre thread. The nominees are:
Would You? (Kevinbudgie's worm thread)
Lotus Birth (by Doulafelicity) my personal fave for this award
Turkey Basting Method (by Ally84)
The Back Fence (by Ffrenchstar)


And the winner is:


Kevinbudgie

KB, please come and accept your award (if you're in the house?)

[tickle]

I can hear crickets.
Come on KB.

[draught]

Oh dear it looks like another no-show. In this case we will blame it on time-differences and I will accept on her behalf (and before anyone thinks I am hogging the limelight I will point out my fabulous frock that needs much attention, and that I was asked to accept for those who were caught in traffic!)

IF KB were here she would say something incredibly witty and possibly poetic, but as she isn't instead I will say thank you on her behalf to all the people who have welcomed her to the site and kept in touch with her even when she has been on the other side of an ocean researching stories such as this one!

Hear hear, weldone you KB!!! :D :p :)

[xkwzit]

No worries Draught, you'll be laden with statuettes by the end of the evening. Do you like it, it called "the Boss", quite appropriate for us Mum's (and Dad's)

Our third award this evening is The Spoon Award for the user who puts in the most effort into pot stirring :rolleyes: :
Kevinbudgie
Carls
promQueen
Dilly


And the winner is:


Dilly

Is Dilly in the building? Please come on up. He/she's not often in, this may be ANOTHER for you Draught (can I get you a wheelbarrow?)

[WeThree]

if dilly decides to pop in and accept this award, i'll choke on my, um, spoon:p :D

[ThomasMum]

Hehe ditto Erin. I wonder where is he/she right now eh?

:D

[xkwzit]

Well we've got to give him/her a minute or so

[Bron]

Settle down coops. We'll be hearing plenty from you later tonight. Just quietly admire my frock for now. ;) :p

[tickle]

Oh Silly Dilly couldn't find the shoe polish so couldn't come.....over to you Draught.

[draught]

Oops sorry people - still dealing with security over in the drinks area - some riff raff had snuck in.

Dilly couldn't be here tonight as he/she was busy doing his/her summer school homework for the course he/she failed in Grade 12 last year - "how to play nice with others."

[xkwzit]

OK I think Draught has gone in search of a wheelbarrow (or something to say about Dilly) so lets move on.

Now Happy Lady will hand out the next few awards. Thanks HL.

And may I just add that this thread has just become "hot"

**Blows kisses and receives flowers**
Thank you so much for your votes and confidences that I am the Most Optimistic about TTC!
**more kisses**

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me - without you I wouldn't be on this podium right now!

I would also like to thank all the girls in the TTC thread - every month we encourage each other along the road to create a little life of our own - without your support TTC would become such a tiresome and gruelling task - Thank you!

I'd like to thank my DH, Grant, for leaving his little boys in the freezer! Yep, next to the peas still!

And all of you ladies who have supported my decision to try Turkey Basting - I realise it is something a bit 'Out of the Ordinary', but all the encouragement and dedication you guys have shown has made me feel that yes, perhaps thawing little boys back to life will work!!!

Thank you once again for this award! It means so much to me...

**Courtseys, wipes a tear, and runs off the stage**

[MammaMia]

Love what she's wearing ... it's noice, it's unusual.

I think Draught is beginning to slur and she's definitely walking on a lean. Hope she can still sign my autograph book. I was hoping for her to say "Dear Mamma Mia, I know I make it look tough, but really, it's a breeze."

Can't believe I'm rubbing shoulders with the stars. And the loos were divine!

[Seekrit]

I think we started pre-award drinks too early.

I've got my g-string showing on purpose - my friend Kimmy helped me get dressed. What - don't you think it looks noice??

Draught - could you autograph my loo paper? Maybe you could lean against SuperMum's fake boobs if you need something firm to rest on while you write?

[WeThree]

yous girls crack me up :D

[Mother Duck]

Silently skulks off into the night like all good insommniacs - ah but maybe she will lurk a while in the foyer!

[draught]

Noooo thank you - I may be quietly P*ssed but I will not play second fiddle to any woman - even one as stunning and well dressed as you (did you steal that dress from Nicole Kidman??)

Someone always wants to respond to them, so no matter how hard they try, they are never left hanging (like someone else I know :D ) So the Not Quite the Last Word Award for best attempted thread kill goes to ElizaDee, the single nominee in this category.

ElizaDee, please come and accept your award (although if you were in da house, we'd have heard you by now :rolleyes: ). Get ready Draught.

We're not quite finished yet, a few funnies to go...but the last sprint toward the finish.

[Peaceangels]

What a wonderful evening, the who’s who of bubhub all here in one place (showing their true colours).

I didn’t receive an award (oh well, maybe next year), so I'm off to get trashed at an after party..............wait on Mathew (McConaughy)............I'm coming, I just have to do something....................

Sincere and heartfelt congratulations to all the winners - MarthaM, KB, Dilly, Ffrenchstar (& for the naughty surprise appearance), Supermum, Wattle, Ally84, Coopsntilly, Jessie, Orlandosmum, Thomasmum, Xkwzit, Happy Lady, ID and Elizadee :D :) :D and last minute "edit"ion - JanetF

[xkwzit]

Hey Peace

[WeThree]

oh ness, how gracious you are in your defeat, hehe:p ;)

[draught]

Bl**dy hell - is no one here to accept these awards tonight.
Alright then - I'll take it and add it to my stash.

Seriously - I think Janet does deserve an award - out of adversity has grown a passion to help others have the best experience possible as mothers and while I don't always agree with her I certainly admire her.

[Mother Duck]

Your award comes next year for most disruptive guest at the Inaugral!

Nice set by the way!!!

[H&B'sMum]

The next award goes to the member who has done more research than anyone I know. She’s the member who has posted the most in the circ threads and has the least reason to be there.:p She just loves to share that info.;)
The winner of the Research Queen goes to……..
Cosmic!
Please come forward now cosmic to receive your award.:D

[cosmic]

Yay for Janet! A woman to be admired... whether you agree with her or not, you've got to respect her passion.

I make the BEST coffee - award winning really

Anyone else want one?

[Peaceangels]

I actually prefer tea......................tea lady any chance of getting a tea?

[xkwzit]

Hi HL
I've checked and Boomtish doesn't seem to be on. Let's accept this one on her behalf and move onward.

[tickle]

Ok no Rach, I'll add it to my stack.

Last but not least!

This award is for the person who made it all happen. The inspiration for the entire evening.
The founder of these prestigious awards.
The Ideas Woman Award goes to:
Taylasmum
Thanks for thinking of it, great idea!
If you’re out there, please come forward to accept your award!

[WeThree]

Congrat's coops, can't say I am surprised, but hey what would this place be without you! - nothing!!

Your words of wisdom are an endless source of support.:)

thankyou so much ness, you are such a gorgeous lady :)

[xkwzit]

...I've seen a tea lady around here somewhere, has she nicked off with the Hoff?

[draught]

Boomtish says "MODERATORS RULE"
Oh well actually - that was me, but on her behalf thanks to all those who write rude things that require editing.....

No seriously - thanks to all who make this a great place to hang out!:D

[tickle]

Ok so she's not here, I'll add again to my stack.
Back to you X for closing comments.;)

[WeThree]

YAY Taylasmum!!!!
we wouldnt be here tonight if it wasnt for you!!! :)

ps night all, i am off to spend some time with my lovely dh :)

[tickle]

Yes, yes take them and run.
I don't want to see any of them pop up on Ebay Erin.:rolleyes:

[xkwzit]

No worries HL

That concludes the awards presentation for this evening. You are all invited to the after party that is happening right here on this thread in a few seconds time. You can congratulate the winners and give all the nominees a well done.

I’d like to thank everyone who voted, Happy Lady for compiling the categories, results and nominations and for co-hosting, and Draught for waiting in the wings to accept awards for people who something else to do this evening. I hope I didn’t forget anyone :D. More Moet has arrived for all at the after party hooray …:cool:

[draught]

Thanks to HL and X for hosting such an awesome night!! You two rock!!


I did my usual and drank far too much so am off to drink water, remember who my DH is (Hey MummaMia - that means yours is on the way home too!) and prepare for tomorrow nights extravaganza!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xkwzit]

*pop* :D

Who wants some?

Is anyone still vertical? Almost vertical will do, well can you hold a glass?

[tickle]

Yay it's over!!!:D

[xkwzit]

You did great ... everyone made it a fun night.:D

[cosmic]

Yay for the bubhub annual awards! I will always be proud of my TWO awards, even if one of them was a pity award - thanks Jess ;) ... oh ok so they were both pity awards! :o The fact is they're MINE now and I'm going to bed with them both!

I want to hear all the after-party goss in the morning - preferably on the front page of the paper. :p

[tickle]

Now I am buggered.
Will have to cart my behind to bed soon.
All this cut and pasting has worn me out!
Thanks heaps for your help X!
I will get to thank you in person tomorrow. How exciting!:)

[draught]

But before I go I want to nominate myself for next year's awards as the bridesmaid - all those bl**dy acceptance speeches and no awards for myself to show for it!!!!!!

[Tea Lady]

...I've seen a tea lady around here somewhere, has she nicked off with the Hoff?

Sorry, he wouldn't sink low enough to nick off with the tea lady. I've got my thermos here if anyone wants a cuppa (might be a good idea after all the Moet that's been flowing).

[Mother Duck]

Nighty night gorgeous Cosmic - and you are most welcome!

Night all

I have had the bees knees of a night with you guys, what a delightful interlude in a rather ordinary day!

[tickle]

Night C:) :) :)

[MammaMia]

My husband is coming home???? Eeek - best get back into my rags. Seem to have lost my glass slipper. Thanks for the warning, Draught. He doesn't know that I was sneaking out to spend the night stalking the leading lights of BubHub.

Thanks so much for having me. It was a great night! Can't believe how hard it is tell who had cosmetic surgery when you're up close.

I won't be washing these shoulder ever, ever again - now that I've hobnobbed with the stars.

Signed
The Interloper

[xkwzit]

See you girls, after TWO hours, I'm off to help DH stay awake for an 11pm teleconference (not video, so they might not notice if he falls asleep).

Cheers

[drewid]

Congrats everyone :)

Wish I could have been here to see it all unfold, looks like a great time was had by all!! :D

[Tea Lady]

Night all. Gotta get my beauty sleep for tomorrow night. I've enjoyed reading up on what I missed earlier!

[Seekrit]

Aww man! I go to the loo, stand in the line for, what, 40 minutes? I come back and I've missed half of it AND I'm stone sober!

At least I have the shoe. and.. oo.. rum... :D

[ElizaDee]

Looks like after all the hard work Eliza Dee is not here.
She would like to thank Happy Lady for not letting the thread die on her.
:)

heheheheh I am here now to accept my award, thank you so much! **blush**

Sorry ladies I had to go and collect DH from the airport :D

Hmmm....I will be sniffing loudly when next we meet if the reek of unwashed celeb-pressed flesh is too much!
Glad I finally got to ID you though!
See you tomorrow:D

[draught]

heheheheh I am here now to accept my award, thank you so much! **blush**

Sorry ladies I had to go and collect DH from the airport :D


Ooooh...hope you don't mind the speech I made on your behalf....now if only I could find that statuette to hand over.....Harry'smum - where did you put it????? Don't tell me you left it in the taxi?????

[ElizaDee]

excellent! I finally win something and you loose it! That would be my luck. :rolleyes:

[ElizaDee]

ElizaDee says FANK EWES ALL (well she doesn't really as she has an American accent I believe but you get the picture!!)

LOL gee do I sound that bad?? :eek:

[poshBecks]

Ok so that was the best laugh after a rough evening!!!! So bummed to have missed the awards ceremony!! Sounds like the after party is about to fizzle so I thought I'd liven it up again!!!

Hoot!!

I must say that I think that this thread should be nominated for next years "funniest Thread" award!! :D :D :D !!

My mission for 2006 is to get nominated for an award..... hmmm will have to think of which one!! LOL

Congrats everyone!! A round of drinks on me.... :rolleyes:

[Jaileth]

Could also be nominated for the most pages in the least amount of time!!! :eek: :D Can't believe how much you girls wrote!!! And all full of Mote too.....:D

oh, and ElizaDee - have to say, love your avatar! Too cute!!! :D

[Mother Duck]

And all full of Mote too.....:D

:D

Full of what???

[Puk]

*rushes in, hair dishevelled, make-up smeared* Hey, what'd i miss? :p

Sorry i couldn't make it on time everyone! You all looked lovely tonight! The night seemed to be a hit, a few bumps in the road what with the wardrobe malfunctions, streakers, Robbie fanatics and a certain someone who had one too many rums! :p I hope you all aren't too hungover in the morning! A couple of Berocca and you'll be fine! Goodnight ladies!

*has a solitary glass of wine in celebration*

[razzle]

MODERATORS RULE!

Thanks guys!

[Seekrit]

*holds head*
ergh...

And who's number is this scrawled on my arm.....

................ERGH

[moonblossom]

OH COME ON ...isnt there a old mum catagory with the most kids...OH i'm devastated...LOL

Oh by the way that was said by my 21 year old ROFLMAO...Kids, ya gotta love em ;)

[MilkOnTap]

The next award is one of my personal favourites, the Catch That Egg Award for the most optimistic TTC mum to be.

And the winner is:

Ally84 (primarily for the turkey baster effort – and we all thought she was talking ROAST turkey :confused: )

Ally, please come and accept your award.

Thank you guys! Coops posted my thank you thread for me last night (Thanks Coops!) It sounds like you had a blast last night! Wish I were here! Instead I was out celebrating cause I have FINALLY got rid of my housemate! (More on that later)

Thanks again!!!

[tickle]

Sorry moonblossom. There actually was but I just didn't get time to organise properly.
Sorry.
Here it is now:
The winner of the Eight is Enough Award goes to:

Moonblossom.

Congratulations!:D

[MilkOnTap]

Congrats Moonblossom! I knew you HAD to get SOMETHING for all those kids of yours!!! You deserve more than a MEDAL!!! :p

[moonblossom]

ROFLMAO happylady...My daugher just said, ABOUT TIME YOU WON SOMETHING MUM LOL.

I bow, thank you and say YES, eight is certainly enough LOL

[tickle]

You sure you don't want to round that number up?:p

[moonblossom]

Ummm I might give that a big fat miss Happylady LOL,

[Chickadee]

I can't believe I just read 24 pages of drunkeness! So sorry I missed it live :(

Thanks to everyone who voted for me, and to Draught for accepting for me. I think I'm going to have to arm wrestle the award off her.

Congratulations to all our winners, but I think nearly everyone on Bubhub should be getting an award just for participating and helping each other out so much.

[tickle]

I can't believe you read it all either Martha.:eek:
Congratulations to you and all your PCness.:p

[Chickadee]

Lol Happy Rady. I admit I started just skimming at around page 13.

As I was typing the last line of my last post I was shaking my head at myself. PC indeed. :rolleyes: But I'm Canadian (ay), I can't help being so nice :)

[Mother Duck]

Moonblossom - you simply can not win the old mother award - you don't look old enough!

[wattle]

Oh girls, girls. I was ready, taffeta dress on, tiara in place, then another wave of nausea hit me.......bleaugh.........then........oops......... NO, NOT ON THE DRESS........:(

Sorry I didn't make it. It wasn't a pretty sight. In 7 months I'll have a lovely little baby to hold and will have forgotten all about this awful incident.

I would like to thank all those involved in the awards. What a wonderful event it seemed to be. I read most of the posts.....well up until my award of course :D . Thanks Draught for graciously accepting my award for me.


Boo boo, hiss hiss
I hate all this morning sickness
But you know that very soon
I'll be singing a happy tune

KB, where is she?
Trying to write some poetry
Come on, heels and all
We're hiking to the waterfall

[Irish Dad]

First of all my I start by apologizing for not being able to attend the prestigious awards cermony :( Due to the 10 hour time difference between Ireland and Australia it was the middle of the day here and I was at work and my boss didn't seem to understand the importance of an internet awards cermony :rolleyes: I'd like to thank everyone whos voted for me and made me so welcome, my opinions may not always impress or amuse you but honesty is the best policy in my mind. I'd like to dedicate the award to Joe my gf who without I would never have been Irish Dad, I love her to bits and shes the best mummy in the world. :D ID

[tickle]

How could your boss not understand ID?
Thanks for your honesty, it is appreciated.;)

[Fairyfloss]

Had to read through 24 pages, (yes I did read every bit of it) but I am finally here, congrats to every one who got an award, well done.
to the lasies who partied all night, how are you guys feeling, got some panadol, if you still ned it:p
