Good evening folks and a Happy New Year!
It's that time again, the Delorentos Forum Awards 2012 are about to begin. Now, traditionally, the award ceremony is an extravagant affair with blacktie and special guests. Unfortunately due to cutbacks, mainly on time rather than money, the awards ceremony will not be as glamorous as it once was. This however, doesn't mean that the awards given out won't be held in high esteem, in fact, given the lack of activity on the forum in 2011, any form of recognition should not be scoffed at!
Best of luck to you all.

Delightful. Except I forget my Paypal password and the e-mail account I have it linked to is no more. Can I just throw a 2 euro coin in your general direction for the Rules?

Released this year and yeah any form of tweet will do! I think I may remove the best dressed/best dancer in the band section. I'm pretty sure they always throw up the same results. Then again so does best male...  |

Two aerial antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

Waited For You Lyrics:
Nothing needed saying when you looked my way,
Nothing needed saying,
You were a dream,
You were a dream.
Something in your face I had never seen,
Something in your face,
You were a dream,
You were a dream.
And I waited for you so long,
I waited for you so long.
Fixed to the spot when I see you,
But it's alright, it's alright,
You think you look nothing,
But you're more beautiful than all the birds can sing,
And I waited for you so long,
I waited for you so long.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Somethings in life you have to face alone,
I should understand, understand, but I don't.
Some mysteries are not meant to be revealed.
Staring at the valley, these mysteries untold
24 hours before an annul (don't think that's right...)
Plenty of time for our souls to be healed.
Fixed to the spot when I see you,
But it's alright, it's alright,
You think you look nothing,
But you're more beautiful than all the birds can sing,
And I waited for you so long,
I waited for you so long.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
