2011 - BAEC Forum awards

As the year draws to a close it may be fun to look back to our own activity on the forum. It has been a hectic year so there must be a throve of treasures to choose from.

Please submit your candidates for the 2011

  • Best Post of the Year
  • Best Topic of the Year
  • Best Cat Fight of the Year
  • Funniest Post of the Year
  • Most Dubious Post of the Year
  • Best Rant of the Year
  • Best Overall Poster of the Year

And we will also accept candidates in a special category: best use of the phrase

I will never fly BA again!
The only price is eternal glory for the next couple of weeks unless the moderators want to contribute something for good measure. EDIT: There will be an official 'best Trip Report of the year' thread so wait with nominating TRs until the mods have opened that.

When nominating please provide a link to the post/topic in question.

Er... and in what may be a candidate for the stupidest error of 2011... Can a moderator please change the topic title to 2011...

In the same light I would like to nominate for best topic that one which generated the most replies in 2011 and has provided a lot of insight into my fellow FTers.

Great idea for a thread HB. By no means do I wish to rain on your parade. However, as per last year there will be a trip report awards thread so let's keep that separated from this one.

Year fixed for you.

Poster or Poser or both?

I vote Hiddy and Pucci as the best regular double act. Always hilarious to read
