The polls are closed and the results of the UK Forum Awards 2006 are now in. *Drumroll please* First up... Mr UK Forum: The winner with 9 votes, Peace Phoenix. I'd like to thank my parents, my friends, my family and all of you who voted for me. With 82% of the votes, that makes me more popular than George Bush (51%) and Tony Blair (35.3%) but less popular than Saddam Hussein (98.5%). He's still hanging around I hear... 1st Mr Peace Phoenix: 9 votes 2nd L.A Matthews: 1 vote 2nd Lithium: 1 vote Miss UK Forum: A much closer contest. In joint first place, Mudpuddle and Fountains of Nay. Autumn Jewels deservedly got in there in joint 2nd place for being around this forum longer than anyone else I know, along with a host of old timers and new blood. Congratulations all. 1st Miss Mudpuddle: 2 votes 1st Miss Fountains of Nay: 2 votes 2nd Autumn Jewels: 1 vote 2nd Flowerchild17: 1 vote 2nd Molly The Hippy: 1 vote 2nd Phoenix-Indigo: 1 vote 2nd Red13Faerie: 1 vote 2nd PinkMoon: 1 vote 2nd PooBrain: 1 vote The Woodstock Award for Biggest Hippy: I was surprised to win this one, as I've not really considered myself much of a hardcore hippy in some time. But people have long memories. Nevertheless, a lot of hippies put in a good showing here. 1st Peace-Phoenix: 3 votes 2nd Dharmamillo: 1 vote 2nd Shedtroll: 1 vote 2nd Molly The Hippy: 1 vote 2nd Smartie.uk: 1 vote 2nd Paulfreespirit: 1 vote 2nd Dapablo: 1 vote 2nd Mudpuddle: 1 vote The Are You Having A Laff? Is He Having A Laff? Award for Funniest Poster: Comedy king this year is Paulfreespirit with Lithium as comedy Queen. Well done for keeping us all entertained! People like you make this forum worth reading in the early hours of the mid-essay crisis morning! Quite a few runners up too taking joint second place. Molly the Hippy made it due to his consistent habit of voting for himself. Not quite sure why Power 13 made it into this list, but since he did, he'd better get back to telling jokes! 1st Paulfreespirit: 3 votes 1st Lithium: 2 votes 2nd PooBrain: 1 vote 2nd Peace-Phoenix: 1 vote 2nd Harry Tuttle: 1 vote 2nd Dharmamillo: 1 vote 2nd Power_13: 1 vote 2nd Molly The Hippy: 1 vote 2nd L.A Matthews: 1 vote The Osama bin Laden Award for Craziest Poster: Quite a lot of crazies on this forum at the moment. Paulfreespirit and Molly the Hippy did well to pick up bronze and silver respectively. But there can be only one king of crazy, Mr Bearded Bear Loving Ben Laden himself - Jonny2Mad! 1st Jonny2Mad: 5 votes 2nd Molly The Hippy: 3 votes 3rd Paulfreespirit: 2 votes 4th Fountains Of Nay: 1 votes 4th Lithium: 1 votes The John Major Award for Most Serious Poster: Somehow Lithium managed to get nominated for craziest and most serious poster. That shows pure dedication to madness, and so I'm proud to present Lithium with the gold medal of Major. 1st Lithium: 3 votes 2nd L.A Matthews: 2 votes 3rd Degenerate: 1 vote 3rd Anaconda Man: 1 vote 3rd Peace Phoenix: 1 vote 3rd Jonny2Mad: 1 vote The Boris Johnson Award for You’re A Right Wing Bastard But We Like You: There could be only one really. That loveable right wing bastard - Jonny2Mad! 1st Jonny2Mad: 4 votes 2nd Cerebus: 1 vote 2nd L.A Matthews: 1 vote 2nd Degenerate: 1 vote 2nd Balbus: 1 vote The Chief Cowpoop Award for Most Provocative Poster: No contest here with Molly the Cowpoop around. 1st Molly The Hippy: 3 votes 2nd onny2Mad: 1 vote 2nd Fountains of Nay: 1 vote 2nd DQ Veg: 1 vote The PETA Won’t Blow Me Up This Year Award for Owner Of The Best Pets: I'm proud to present Cerebus and his loveable dog Rox with this award, along with PooBrain and her many beautiful pussies. Congratualtions, you've won yourselves a get out of being blown up by PETA free card! It was a tough vote, as there are some lovely pets out there, reflected by the spread of votes. 1st Cerebus: 2 votes 1st PooBrain: 2 vote 2nd LankyMidget: 1 vote 2nd Mudpuddle: 1 vote 2nd Bokonon: 1 vote 2nd Warmhandedcanadian: 1 vote The Adolf Hitler Award for the Kindest Person: Joint winners, and deservedly so, are Dapablo, Mudpuddle and Flowerchild17. Glad you could all come back to Hipforums to spread some kindness this year.

Poo Brain clinched it this year, with Dharmamillo a close second. It was a great surprise to see Bokonon and Lithium back this year, you've really helped make this forum. I'm not sure Power 13 ever left, but he does have the habit of turning up when you least expect him! And Aunty Al, whilst technically not a returning poster to this forum, many people knew her from another forum, so I'd like to welcome her here with open arms. Thank you all for coming back and helping to make the relaunch of Hipforums UK the great success I think we can all see it has been. 1st PooBrain: 3 votes 2nd Dharmamillo: 2 votes 3rd Bokonon: 1 vote 3rd Lithium: 1 vote 3rd Power13: 1 vote 3rd Aunty Al: 1 vote The David Cameron Award for Best Newcomer: With so many great newcomers this year, it was never going to be an easy choice for anyone. Well done Harry Tuttle, our first newcomer since the relaunch, for winning this, and well done John for coming a close second in so little time here. But let's not forget Experimenting Youth, Red13Faerie, Cerebus and all the other new faces who've turned up this year and helped make this forum great again. You've all brought something unique to this community, and we're all thankful for it. 1st Harry Tuttle: 3 votes 2nd John: 2 votes 3rd Experimenting Youth: 1 vote 3rd Red13Faerie: 1 vote 3rd Cerebus: 1 vote The Beryl Reid Jury Prize For Least Annoying Johnny Foreigner for Best Foreign Poster in the UK Forum: Really no need to even count the votes on this one. With a landslide victory, Flowerchild17, our very first Honourary UK Forum Yank takes the prize.

El pueblo unido jamas cera vencido! 1st Peace-Phoenix: 6 votes 2nd Jonny2Mad: 2 votes 2nd Chris: 2 votes 3rd Hollowayjay: 1 votes The Withnail Award for Drunkenness: It was a closely run race between L.A Matthews and Paulfreespirit here, but Matthews wins it, probably for his signature alone! 1st L.A.

Pooballs that's what.... 1st PinkMoon: 3 votes 2nd Peace-Phoenix: 2 votes 3rd Paulfreespirit: 1 vote 3rd Matt In Vegas: 1 vote That's it for another year guys, thanks for voting. Well done to all our winners and runners up. And well done to everyone here really, for helping to make the UK Forum probably the best forum in the world. It's all been a bit of fun, just some shameless popularity contest. And on that note, I'd like to announce the next project that will be in the pipeline... The return of... HIP BROTHER!!!
There have been three Hip Brothers. 2002: Winner Peace Phoenix 2003: Joint Winners Ellie Rose (PooBrain) and Peace Phoenix 2004: Neither of us competed, so Man In A Shed sailed to victory. I'd quite like to enter again, but if no one else is up for running Hip Brother, I'd be happy to set it up over the summer when I have some free time. It's about time it made a comeback....
Sure, if you want to be Hip Brother, then I'm up for that. It's quite a bit of work to sit in the chair, which is why I wouldn't have time to run it till the summer. But if you're up for it, we can have a chat and arrange setting it up around a timetable that suits you, and then start auditioning for contestants....
Yeah no probs.. I did the last one.. Its was the I'm a hipforumer get me out of here or something Can't wait
these elections were fixed i tell you!!!! I dont know why i won the poo award when PooPheonix is clearly the biggest poo of all....grrr...hehe serves me right for not voting or Sal coul dhave been a joint winner..
i protest these elections... i voted for peace phoenix as a right wing bastard and i don't see a vote for him
At least I didn't win the Award For Person With The Most Dedication For Making A Twat Out Of Themselves award again. I'm still amazed I won it in the first place.
*clears throat* *starts crying instead* OH IT CANT BE TRUE, IT CANT!!! I'm honored, truly honored. You guys have been nothing but kind and wonderful, and that made my heart melt, and really made me smile I'll post a picture to live up to my title of cutest member, hopefully (insert halo over head and batting eyelashes here) and I'll keep leaving u's out of words Thanks for all your votes, I'll never forget! And when Hip Brother rolls up, I would love to be up in that, please let me know!
:applause: so when do we all take over the houses of parlimant :saucer: time to go blair :behead: been dying (pardon the pun) to use that smilie.
And thus, I am the winner! Yeah! I'm so happy I got a vote for Mr UK Forum! I love you all! MWAH ya fuckers!
Well there's always next year. In the meantime you can enjoy being joint Miss UK Forum 2006! And of course you can be a contestant on Hip Brother....
