Have I missed the voting? – no the ballot boxes haven’t been stolen yet. It’s a slow process and the turnout at the polls is not looking too good at the moment

I’m presuming that I can’t vote for myself, and I think that 1 vote is enough, so StudleyBigAir gets mine for the Ian McKellen refusing to stay in a villa story.

Ok, we have to kick the voting off properly, otherwise all these great tales will get lost in the blogging wasteland.

Assuming that everyone gets three votes (isn’t that how it always works in Zimbabwean elections?), my votes go to (in order of merit):

1) darkdwarf for the milk round story
2) studleybigair for the attic dalek
and finally
3) anotherblogger for the Gary Wilmot mention. C’mon, Gary Wilmot?!

My sister’s next-door neighbour got a waiter in an Indian restaurant in Nottingham to get Judi Dench to sign a chapatti which was later pinned up in the smallest room in my sister’s house. Sadly, the proof disappeared a year or so later into a pile of purple mush when some homemade elderberry wine, that was bubbling away in that very room, exploded.
