I recently did it without a glitch for hours on end when my home broadband went AWOL. Dead impressed, I was.

all night twittering away on their phones rather than drinking ale and talking bollocks to me about music...Heaven forbid!

I remember the good old days on here when we used to moan about people filming gigs on their mobiles! ;-)

I shall partake from the comfort of my home. Thanks.

I'm now full of regret about not getting my hair cut.....

in a virtual spiritual sense. I've been put away in a box of warm straw for the winter by Valerie Singleton and am only allowed to emerge next Friday, drugs permitting.

Have a ball. God, I wish I was going with you. But this damned injury...

Gutted I can't make it, but on the plus side I'm off to watch Cast play their first album, "All Change", in Manchester. Loved them in the 90s but never got to see them live.

If there's any chance of keeping some of it online for a later viewing (youtube etc) that would be great, though I realise it's a different task to streaming.

Literally.

I'll tune in from Berkshire. I'm reliably informed the heating has been on all day so it'll be warm in our house.

I may therefore be sans trousers.

I'll be tuning in from Casa Malo, most likely with a glass of something warming to hand.

I hope you all have a great time!

As I've said before you're a true gent.The Squeezers will be raising a glass or six from the comfort of our sofa here at The Hovel whilst watching all our chums down in that London.I will be tweeting away like a good 'un to boot.

Fancy a sherbet next Friday Fraser in that Manchester? The Kro Bar 2 7:00.Everybody Welcome.Come and have some fun with your northern chums.

Have a whale of a time tonight everyone.XX

outside, but I hope to be tuning in from chilly Stockholm.

Sorry I couldn't be there to meet some of you for the first time, and I'll be absent from Twitter too as I am (shock news) going out.

Enjoy. And don't forget, it's the taking part that counts. Not being a winner only makes you *slightly* inferior, not entirely.

Oh, and don't trip up on your long frocks and stilettos on the red carpet.

*chinks champagne glass*

I've just re-registered with Twitter for this occasion.

@Lucifer_Sam79

Said nowt yet like, but I've already got two followers. A pair of very friendly young ladies who'd like me to view some pictures. How pleasant.

Can't make it to tonight's "do".
Best wishes to all at the Word Massive.

pick up my awards for me please?

shall be Reprazentin'!

But I'll be weighed down with them.
- daftest name
- most threads killed
- poorest grammer and spelling
- most useless at posting pictures
ALL MINE!!!!

Can't make it myself due to the kids but will try and tune in to the webcast.

all

Gutted that I can't be there, but see you on the 7th Jan!

I shall be unable to attend owing to a scheduling conflict with my season ticket to Northampton Saints. However, in the unlikely event of my winning a bauble, a satellite link is available by tuning into Sky Sports and going to the Saints vs. London Irish top-of-the-table clash at Franklin's Gardens. Ask the nice Sky people to focus on Block R, Row T, seat 572 and there I am!

seeing some festive lighting and what looks like a fireplace

Fer goodness sake. Get somebody we know to at least wave to us...

I'm sure I can hear the Chuckle Brothers somewhere near the bar.

It's Fireplace.

On with the action chaps...

I'm sure I just heard Mark Ellen.

It's Charlie Chuckle.

Spot the Bald Spot!

58 so far

I've done some surreal things in my time, but watching a bunch of blokes in a pub on't pooter is into the top ten with a bullet...

The pre-gig tension mounts - will they do anything we recognise?

Modern Family and Raising Hope are on't telly, well here they are

talk to that bloke with the white hair, he seems to be on his own!

Real, live women!

Give us a wave, Hannah!

scurries from webcam

just went away for an hour and came back - looks like I haven't missed much; but something may be about to happen.... the tension :)

Where's it gone???

"We return to the Compass as the lucky recipients are taken away for photographs and interviews..."

I've seen David Hepworth (I think) shake the same guy's hand about 10 times now. They are caught in a space/time paradox!

DAVE webcam!

is this what I spend my hard earned cash on?

;)

I am sure that Hannah will have followed my request to accept the prize, dressed as a squaw. (One for the teenagars, as Sr Valparaiso correctly noted)

Love and hugs to all the Massive, near or far.

Hmmm! :-)

I think I'm with Rosie on blogging:

http://rosiesblog.net/

could Pencilsqueezer do a Rolf Harris and paint a lovely picture on webcam that we all then can watch while it dries ?
Definitely more entertaining than the video from the witness protection gathering that I just tried to watch after coming home from work. I guess the camera should have been aimed at the bar...
Who won then ? The usual suspects ? Capo di tutti pantaloni ?

to all the winners, I trust a good night was had by all

And that the people I voted for won something. I've just come back from an all-too- very rare night out with Mrs Itfc at the Theatre, so I missed the webcam as well.

Oh well. See you all back here tomorrow, then.

I had a lovely time (hic) Besht mates and that, Backwards7, Capt Underpants, Drakeygirl et all, shee you all on Jan 7th.

*sings Irish folk song loudly, kicked into next room by Mrs Ganglesprocket*

G'nightall!
