It’s Round 2, and it’s SUDDEN DEATH, or something.

We're now, at long sodding last, into Round 2 of Lovely of the Year 2007. 40 contestants slugged it out over 80 groups, with only 16 progressing. Despite repeated claims to the contrary, they're not joined in the second round by any highest-scoring runners up, because I couldn't be bothered counting the votes and it would only mean more

Oh God. Can't you just put all of the names in a Very Nice Hat and pick one at random? ;)

[wardytron]

You mean like the Nobel Prize committee? No, this is much more serious.

[medusa]

Oh very well then, I have voted but if a couple of warm shandies and a quick feel around inside a Jolly Nice Hat is good enough for the Nobel Prize committee then it ought to be good enough for you as well.

Anyway. Does the winner get a prize or something like that?

I think publicansdecoy tends to make a Certificate, which then invariably ends up being sent to the Official Residence of the President of Zimbabwe. So I could do that, but I think if either of me or James Ward wins then the other should be forced to conduct an Official Ceremony, with a Sash.

1. Fry - he may not give vast quantities of wealth away, but he IS jolly lovely.
2. Forrester - Brooker wrote the Nathan Barley series which was/were sh*t (so bad I didn't notice if there was a 2nd one). Although TV Go Home was good.
3. wardytron - otherwise I'd have married Baker

I didn't know you read this Livejournal, how long have you been doing that?

[fille_a_paris]

I don't, I despise you and everything you stand for. Which is public nudity, basically.

She did use to do Robert Wars, but obviously it being Robot Wars and me not being a virgin I never saw her in it, and cannot comment on the skanky pit-sweats allegation, although it seems highly unlikely bearing in mind she hand-reared an orphan otter cub and returned it to the wild.

Do you mean those short fly-on-the-wall documentary films showing him being very amused and excited by a particular brand of tea? Well alright, they're not so great, but what about Kingdom, his ITV series about a solicitor or something whose name for some reason is Kingdom, in Norfolk?

He was in one of them for Twinings yesterday, but it was for coffee. WTF?

[whizzerandchips]

It's such a pity there's no celebrities with It'srainingcatsanddogs for a surname.

just for the record, except for LJ'ers I just randomly voted without taking in to consideration the relative merits of each candidate. Except for Sarah Harding.
