You can tell our client, that Mr Wood fella, that this HStorm dude is dead meat by Monday."

Not sure about that. I agree it's pointless letting people vote for their own, but nominations are different, as they can easily be rejected at the voting stage.

Not sure about that. I agree it's pointless letting people vote for their own, but nominations are different, as they can easily be rejected at the voting stage. But the concept, in this competition, of nomination is that someone else finds it funny enough to be worth voting on. Just like people who wish to stand for a constituency have to get nominees to say they make a worthy candidate. If people nominate their own entries then there's nothing to stop everyone nominating one of their own and voting for it, which (as I said before), defeats the point. You can't nominate your own entries and that's my final decision. All genuine nominations to be in by Tuesday at the latest, please.

Okay, the Elmo marriage one is my nomination.
