Thank-you Frugilegus for some great voting – your nominations were received just before the stroke of midnight, therefore just beating the deadline. Your nomination for Lia has helped her clinch a special award, so you see, your votes really do count.

Too Slow, Mr James A-S, too slow. Your hat has enough nominations that you can’t begrudge me the 100th post.

Now to get a few more votes in before the polls close…

Hottest couple: ‘Poo’ and ‘Wee’. In the compost bin.
Best dressed gardener: Lia again. Apparently her hat for GMG beats James A-Sinclair’s hat hands down.
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Martyn says it’s his new do. But I might say Garden monkey because it might be true. Who knows?
Party mentalist of the year – Michelle Wheeler often seems to have a bottle of wine open.
Mouth almighty of the year – Ryan narrowly beats Anne Wareham, I think, for his Christmas tree promo work.

You swine! I was relying on that vote.

If it’s not too late, I’m nominating Lia Leendertz for most fanciable female. This is mostly due to the fact that I’ve run out of time to get photographic evidence of Martyn in drag.

I can’t remember if I voted for Funniest person in gardening or not. So if it isn’t too late I’m going for persons in the form of ‘3 Men went to mow’ (in particular part 4 and the bit where Joe misses the door handle!) Every time I see this I laugh. When are we getting Part 5?

I’m adding an extra nomination for hottest couple for Anne Wareham and JAS – their bickering on Twitter carries as much sexual tension as Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn every exhibited.

I’d be glad to help Happy Mouffetard. A vote for me as most snoggable at this late stage is hardly likely to change the result, but if you picked me for best haircut, I might, might, just bag that award. Hope that helps.

@ Juliet – not so much ‘hot’ as appallingly soppy – apologies if that caused anyone to reach for a bucket.
I haven’t voted yet, I’m stuck on the first question. Anyone care to offer to help me decide?

Just seen this and I'm wondering whether I should have voted for Happy Mouffetard and SomeBeans for hottest couple. I'm afraid don't have any pheasants, only dodos, and they are certainly not for eating. Will you accept a dodo egg in return for an extra vote?

Most fanciable female – judywhite (see http://bit.ly/7YTlvk – Oh Boy!)
Hottest couple – Toby Buckland and Lisa Davis (still)
Best dressed gardener – Joy Larkcom (she’s supremely realistic)
Worst dressed gardener – Alan Titchmarsh (way way too smart)
Hot new talent – Does Phil Clayton qualify?
Top of the mop award (best haircut) – Alys Fowler (ironic vote)
Funniest person in gardening – Christopher Lloyd RIP
Party mentalist of the year – Jean Vernon (went to see Sex Pistols night before last year’s GWG!)
Mouth almighty of the year – Matt Appleby (he’s gonna run away with this one)
