Merry Christmas and 2016 ajb review

ChriscoopChriscoop Belize Posts: 10,449MI6 Agent
So firstly seasons greetings to you all, I thought it might be fun to do a 2016 annual review, with special mentions going to members for.... Well any reason really and also threads of special significance. All lighthearted of course and in the spirit of festive warmheartedness.
Firstly I'd like to nominate a couple :
Most expensive thread of the year: the Tom Ford Harrington limited re-run, that thread is running at over £60 k so far.
Most argumentative member: this one is quite tight but for my money it has to go to Higgins God love him.
Most prolific poster: can anyone beat Thunderpussy? who's even handed and light hearted posts are just so
...unique
Hardest working member: with the ever diligent mods aside I think canoe2 needs a mention here, he's started the epic budget bond resource thread, built and run the brilliant iconic alternatives site, which goes from strength to strength and even ran a fantastic first anniversary competition for the site.
Number 24 for just being so political and Norwegian.
So how about, quickest member to be banned? Most helpful member? Etc etc
It was either that.....or the priesthood

    Happy Christmas or indeed Happy which ever festival you celebrate at this time of year {[]
    Thank-you to the MODs for their tireless work in keep us undercontrol, our tempers in check
    and kicking out the trolls {[] Thank you to all the very many members of AJB with a sense of
    Humour, I always get a laugh or two from some excellent posts. -{ Thanks for putting up with
    My endless posting. Even the arguments on some of the off topic threads have been entertaining,
    And enlightening,
    It is a shame given how we are spread all over the planet, that few of us will ever meet face to face. As
    An AJB Christmas party would be something to behold. :D

    Most controversial thread, has to be between the brexit thread, the US Presidential election thread, and the next bond after Daniel Craig thread, the latter has caused much division almost to the Craig wars level.
    Anyone found love on the forum this year? Who's had the biggest fall out with another member?
    It's been a very eventful year, what with brexit and the poor Americans having to decide between a morally bankrupt lady with bad email security and a morally bankrupt lady fiddler with bad hair for their next president, we debated Daniel Craig slashing his wrists, Daniel Craig leaving the bond role, Daniel Craig talking to an American, Daniel Craig back in the role ( he never left) and Daniel Craig buys a new t shirt. We also had a couple of stray threads with pictures of nubile young people having sex, if any of you remember what that looks like? These threads caught the mods completely off guard and stayed live for a good while, Im pretty sure someone will have Screenshots if not Sir M had a good long look before he decided they should be removed so could Im sure describe the images to anyone interested.
    What else went on this year?

    Not a forum member, but I fell pity for an unknown waiter in a London Chinese Restaurant where we held the AJB meetup.

    He made the mistake ignoring Mrs. Higgins - I am sure that he won't do that mistake again :D
    The AJB meetup in London was one of the highlights - seeing some new faces and some familiar people that I have only met over the net.
    Dinner at Rules sitting at "THE" table together with Sruzgar was another highlight.

    Other than that my detest for Asp9mm grew a lot - so it was a good year for me - well not for him. Just look at him and you know.

    It was good to see Microjiff back and Danjaq_off surviving a heartattack and coming back to here occasionally.

    Hope to see more props and replica and watches in the mem&coll section and less clothing though.

    Merry Christmas to you all and hope that 2017 brings lots of news on Bond 25 and the shooting.

    While I nailed the Norwegian of the Year-award, I think there are awards missing. Who has been the most American member of the year, the most British, the most Irish etc.
    The winners will get a smalahove in the mail for free :D

    Most American? Now that is a tough category :s
    Who are your nominees in these categories 24?

    I'd also like to nominate James Brosnan for most enthusiastic posts, his excitement and delight are a marvel to behold.
    And what about best mod? I suppose that depends on which one mods the topics your most involved with??
    Best original bond thread of 2016?
    I'm nominating Barbel for best musical tip, I have had hours and hours of pleasure from the John Barry collection he told us about -{
    And Sir Miles needs a mention for the support he gave to the bond pin badges I did ( still available :D) which gave me some confidence to continue the project.

    which mods?
    Haven't seen any of them this year!

    Maybe they all moved to some tax haven like Cayman and enjoying a cool drink next to a curvy blonde? :v

    Maybe, do you drive a German car, only wear Adidas trainers and love Chancellor Merkel? You definitely can have nomination for best dressed German ;)

    Perhaps "Best Republican/conseravtive" would be a better category? They are in a minority here and while I "may" not agree with them on several issues, I se great value in debateing with people with other views than myself and test the value of my own views. It's a hard to get wiser if everyone around you agrees with you.

    Well I'm a fundamental conservative (UK) but probably not the best one. And we'll have no political derailing of this thread thank you 24 :D

    There was the evening all the mods seemed to take a night off and we got an eyeful of porn for several hours!!

    That was a memorable thread :)) :))

    Ah lady rose, at last some class and decorum. Yes I've mentioned that, bloody typical if a member throws an insult out Barbel or sir M are on it super fast, but someone sticks up some hardcore porn and.... Nothing! Just goes to show you never know where or when they are about! :D

    I think Barbel needs a special mention for keeping us all in check with us making repetitive thread posting.
