official result - doom and gloom merchant of the year 2015 Hipster

Only the mighty lPp and his keyboard of woe can truly bring down the spirits of optimism whenever they dare to raise their hope spawning heads! 


 


Not even the pretenders known as Hipster_Nebula and Natasha Whittam can match my instant party killer comments and flawless mood killer asides. Vote for me and I promise to bring a fog of despair so deep it will make Nick Clegg feel successful! 

you had my vote till your last 7 words

Oh manda, how sad you make me feel there. 
You know I adore you my sweet but let's be honest, poor Nick didn't exactly have the best of years did he? In fact the Lib Dems are probably the only organisation in Britain that had a worse year than BWFC. I'm sure you'll make a comeback soon though which is more than can be said for the football club. After all, you survived Owen and Steele so you can survive just about anything.

I voted for Hipster 'Leeds fans are amazing' Nebula as pretty much every single post is one of negativity. 

Sorry LPP, you'll just have to up your game next year and maybe you'll have a chance. I'm sure the wanderers will give you plenty of opportunity.

Thanks to Johnny for taking over a few polls btw, I just don't have much spare time atm. 

No probs brother. Hope it's for fun reasons. ....

Wish it was. Friends of ours in Stoneclough got caught in the floods unfortunately. By the time they got out it was chest high inside the house but thankfully they're ok. The street and house is a complete mess and the whole of the downstairs has been lost. Clean up operation in full swing then it's fingers crossed on the insurance. Main thing is they're ok.

Glad to hear that your friends are safe mate. My gran lives in Edenfield near Ramsbottom and I was having kittens yesterday until my dad told me she was at his house. Now I'm fretting about them all because he's in Clitheroe but so far his street hasn't been affected. Keeping everything crossed right now including my eyes.

Oh how awful, its great they are safe an obviously thats the important thing, but bet it doesn't feel like that when looking at the remains of their possessions. You are a good friend 58, hope the clear up goes as well as it can

My nephew and niece's place of work near Hebden is a bit of a worry as my sister reckons they had trouble getting insurance after the last floods a couple of years ago and this was a lot worse and not sure if they're covered.

As an aside who voted for the unofficial Happy Clapper of the Year 2014 (me) in this poll? Is this ongoing saga of failure and general woe getting to me?

Me and Boggers are alive and kicking.

Hope it gets sorted quickly for them. My mate is in stoneclough but he has a second floor flat. Sounds like a lot of people came together.

Can't be arsed with a tiebreak so ill leave it running for now

I voted for myself so if that was illegal and needs to be discounted, you could always give it to Hipster. 

Yep. That'll do. Hips wins. Can you do the necessary tweeks kp please

I think Bread has had an epiphany after our win today and is no longer all doom and gloom.

Due to the smiley on his last post?

Due to his performance on the Chatbox.

Honestly, I had a lump in my throat when the final whistle went and something stirred deep inside me that I genuinely haven't felt for a long time where The Wanderers are concerned.

I'm just getting fed up with all the endless tedium and negativity of the mess we're in and it was really refreshing just to forget about it all for a few minutes and simply enjoy winning a football match for a change.

Ridiculous I'm a positive person.

 is that in the parallel universe Bolton Nuts cos it ain't on here. Unless of course we are talking about Leeds United and their amazing fans?

Next one coming up. The (my) last one before 58 announces the very last award.
