Re: Xmas 'Thread of the week' prizes and gifts.
I think the mudflap of doom may well suprise a few folk, I'm feeling very positive about it. 

It's the most attractive flap I've ever seen.

Don't rule out the The Umbrella thread.weeksy wrote: Thu Dec 23, 2021 11:16 amYeah i wasn't thinking it would win anyhow
I'm thinking more a European tour highlights thread, or a finished this build of a Guzzi Le Mans, or did my first trackday.
Maybe even "the other in law got a turkey leg stuck in her arsehole after she drank too much sherry" as a possible winner....
The umbrella thread... nah, not so much.
Heck even @Dodgy knees has more chance with his mudflap of doom![]()
Not only has it the powerful hook of the was or wasn't The Umbrella an urban myth but there's more. Study the direction, the themes, the very timbre of the thread.
It has the powerful and oft debated 'value of science' very heavily embedded. And from the first post there was the conflict between those who value higher education and those who do not.
I think it will continue to get interest and then when it peaks, white hot, on Christmas Day, I will use it to call Iccy a 'toolygoon' in front of everyone. And knowing this to be true he will write a lengthy retort but it will be hollow and ineffective and all shall see that. Thus admonished he will slink from the alehouse and my good health will be drunk by all.
It will be [chef's kiss].

The umbrella thread happily died a death. The rest, is going well if you ask me.

Re: Xmas 'Thread of the week' prizes and gifts.
The honest answer is, I didn't massively feel we had one.
There were some decent threads and some decent posts but nothing outstanding.
So it's mostly on hold.
