It looks as though we have done it again...apologies need to go out to Dappled. His nominations have been left off the list.

When nominations are made after 10PM (US)Pacific Time, I rarely get them, and have to leave it to whomever is posting the list. When I sent the list off to Fintan at 5:30AM this morning, it was only Mr Fitter that I noticed had nominated, and told Fintan that. The list has now been edited, to include Dappled's nominations, so anyone that wishes to, please adjust your votes. I will pt those that have voted already to make sure they are aware of this.

So sorry for the inconvienience, and Dappled, you sir, have my most sincere apologies.
