"SR Notable Election - Thurs 11th August"

It's about that time again.

Most of you know how it works by now, but for those who don't - every three months (or so ;)) we hold an election to promote one of our regular members to Notable status. Notable is a position to honour that user's contributions to UKchatforums.com - they don't get any further rights or abilities within the forum, but their status is changed and their name is written in gold to draw the eyes, respect and jealousy of the purple Regulars.

On the day (Thursday 11th August), an official thread will be started by a staffie (most likely me) where every Regular member and Notable will have one vote to cast for who they want to see elevated to such a lofty status. Newbies and JATs will be unable to vote I'm afraid.

Last election we also held a vote to demote someone from their position of notable back down to regular - while this went well, we've not yet decided whether to continue this new, possibly cruel addition to the elections. If you have any thoughts on this, let us know here and we'll make a decision before the day is due.

Til then, mark 11/8/05 in your diaries and make sure you're here for what may be the most important vote you'll ever make.

Texas holdum? Yup, I'm pretty good.

Oh, and forgive me for my ignorance, but given that I am never here, I've little to no idea who you are.

Are you Lord Funkelsomething?

Jimmy plays poker. Any good at that E_B?

Not harsh, I just want to emulate him.

I'm trying to recall his joke he made about his lack of a ball. Any help on that one?

My cue is still in Cambridge. I knew I'd forgotten something.

To be fair, I actually was quite good at snooker a few years ago. My highest break was 105, but I haven't played in about 2 years now. Pool is more my game now. I won a fair bit of cash at training school, but again, I haven't played in ages, so no doubt I suck now.

Jimmy White never cut off one of his balls ?!, or is that some harsh reference to Testicular Cancer

If you're the Jimmy White of the forums, where the hell's your cue ? *Narrows eyes*

Indeed, I am the Jimmy White of the forums.

So much so in fact, that I am tempted to cut off one of my balls.

So much better you don't need to be a Notable :p

"Her indoors" posted some thought-provoking topics, I agree with you there.

I really don't have any idea who the 'good posters' are on here anymore, because the quality varies and people that were are hardly ever here

Damn Avian Flu :'(

But to be fair about her picking me, even though I am hardly ever here, I'm still much better then most of you.

I think she deserved a pop at the last one to be honest, because she was one of the better posters and did post a fair bit, but she is hardly ever here now, so she doesn't "deserve" it, just like me.
