[theDuke]

Right, sorry folks..wasn't feeling too sharp last night...ate something that disagreed with me, it seems....but i'm okay now.

Okay doke...late again..so let's close this round promptly:

1st place: Winning song - Poor and Needy by Misty in Roots, scored an impressive 30 points, so, the winner is = Gordon

1st Runner Up: Born For A Purpose by Dr. Alimantado & The Rebels - 29 points, nominated by KJS

And finally, Funky Kingston by Toots & The Maytals, takes third place, just pipping Zion Gate by Culture by one point...nominated by...um.....me.... again.

Is it just me, or are Gordon, KJS and myself...cropping up a lot in the honours of late? I'm sure it wasn't that long ago, I was congratulating the same three people in another round...deja vu?!

Anyhoo...well done chaps..and me..again….and hard luck Lez...erm...how'd ya like your wooden spoon?

[Brass Neck]

"Anyhoo...well done chaps..and me..again….and hard luck Lez...erm...how'd ya like your wooden spoon?" - it wasn't her!

[Craig White]

i widnae admit to it either! all that augustus pablo and she gives us shaggy? :) (very poor, les, very poor)

anyhoo, it gladdens my heart to see the mighty misty in roots top the list, along with j.lydon's favourite doc 'tado song! both classic!

actually, apart from a couple, it was a better list than i was expecting, so thanks for not forwarding any ub40 or sha......oh well.

What a shame you were all too scared of tech to vote for Shaggy ;-)

I’m afraid it was a case of can’t-be-botheredness. I like most of the stuff tech’s given me but didn’t know where to start to select a nom.
Still don’t understood what poor Shaggy’s done wrong :-(

[Craig White]

well, it started to go askew when he entered the studio! :)
