Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted March 1, 2025 Awards Moderator Posted March 1, 2025 The great Frankie Crisp has asked me to take over this bit of the awards for him. Cast your votes, discuss your picks. Voting will be open until probably Monday 10th.
Members SuperBacon Posted March 1, 2025 Members Posted March 1, 2025 Voted deathrey, but that will change if she doesn't get me those crisps...
Paid Members RedTwoster Posted March 1, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 1, 2025 Really appreciate the nomination for this, it means a lot. I also voted @deathrey, but it’s a great bunch of deserving nominees here, not an easy choice at all.
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted March 3, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 3, 2025 Deathrey has been absolute lovely this year. Just a genuinely nice person.
deathrey Posted March 3, 2025 Posted March 3, 2025 Aww thank you all, and thank you for the nomination. Err no promises on the crisps @SuperBacon
DavidB6937 Posted March 3, 2025 Posted March 3, 2025 I'd happily vote for everyone here as they all inspire me in different ways. But went with Devon as someone who I respect massively especially for family support and something I try to do with my own kids.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 3, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 3, 2025 There are no bad choices here, only eggs of the highest goodness.

I just called my daughter a knob and laughed my head off after I realised she'd been sitting in the shower with a bowl on her head for 15 minute because she likes the sound of the water hitting it. That's the parenting standard here. Seriously though, that's lovely of you to say and means loads. Thank you.

Paid Members FLips Posted March 3, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 3, 2025 Aye not to get too soppy or anything but a lot of posts on here from Devon have had me go “wow he sounds like a great Dad”.

Yeah, as a relatively new dad myself, I find @Devon Malcolm’s posts about fatherhood genuinely aspirational.
deathrey Posted March 3, 2025 Posted March 3, 2025 Same, I read Dev's posts and hope I can be half as supportive and amazing to my kids as he is to his. And the water droplets is really soothing! We have a water pump that drops water in to the pond like a little waterfall. My boy loves sleeping with the window open so he can hear it
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 4, 2025 Paid Members Posted March 4, 2025 I was going to reply to these lovely posts last night but I got emotional and then 17yo started asking me whether he should go and get a pizza (can confirm he did go and get a pizza) and that became a half-hour debate and I forgot. But yes, you're all too nice. I don't know if this is the best place to post this as there are threads in off-topic about this but being a dad didn't come naturally to me. It took me until 16yo came along for me to really get it. I don't want it to sound like I was dropping 17yo on his head and putting bleach on his arse or anything when he was a baby but the difficulties I faced when he was born were ones that I learned from when 16yo came along. I'm definitely a much, much better parent now than I was 10 years ago. I think I came into my own when I became a single one. I had to deal with everything and it focused me a lot more on what I was doing. Unfortunately I'm the sort of person who has that brain where I always focus in on my mistakes and things I've done wrong rather than where I've gone right. So to see other parents and people in general on here say such nice things is a shock to me because my brain never accepts compliments well, but also really nice and genuinely appreciated. Thank you.
