Still being full of cold (4 o clock in the morning and still I cannot sleep – who remembers what that line is from) I lay awake and thought ‘we need to do the Forum poll again.’ So it is decision time chaps and chapesses.
Was Preston better than Leamington? Is Walk On By the best live song? What was Hugh’s top show? And is there a better TV show than Emmerdale? The choice is all yours in this, the second annual MIB Forum Oscars …
Have a think and then post up your entries and I will try to compile the winner’s list on New Year’s Day…
I will choose mine first to get you in the mood and then give you a blank one to fill in…

Still thinking about the poll but "4 o'clock in the morning and still I cannot sleep" comes from New Model Army's No Rest on No Rest For The Wicked. My second favourite band after the meninblack.
