First of all - big thanks to lemmy for that invaluable list! [what a gift for accolade creators]
Very glad to see demonic made it - and with such an original take on the theme.
Some really great stuff from all you guys.
I must have had some kind of brain failure which I can only ascribe to my glut of BAFTA watching. I can't blame the MERPs for this one -- mea culpa maxima!! 'Cuz I was convinced I'd submitted fwfrs for my missing listers. But no, No, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Ah, well - we'll move on and rest assured I've already slapped my own wrist and am huddled on the naughty step. So lonely. So so cold ...
I guess the only remedy is another tasty TA:MOU  |
