[Platinum Joinee West]

No that they really care, but surely you're not telling me that Vic Mark and Katie have been missed off again after their hard work each year with GGF?

That would be rather silly. Seeing as everyone keeps nominating them and all...

[Shiney Joinee Jackson]

Big Sal Got Gold and her mum Got silver for driving her all around the country for meets.

I'm afraid so
I was quite surprised, to say the least.

[PJ Stevie G]

I think Joinee David got silvered too.

And SiVar was golded.

[PJ Wopunga (GA)]

Yeah David was silvered.

[Shiney Joinee Jackson]

Congrats on all who Got Golded and Silvered.

The fact that you get annoyed by this means more than being golded or silvered ever could.

However since my feeble efforts at gaining recognition over the last 5 years have failed, I'm going to throw my toys out of the pram and have nothing to do with GGF this year what so ever.

Congratulations everyone else.

Dont forget Amanda got the rank of Joinee Tosser,.... or Tosser Joinee....

That's easy to say when you get silvered for just turning up to GGF.




In all seriousness I really don't care, and neither do Vic or Katie.

That people turn up and enjoy themselves is enough for me, I have no need for a specky bloke to give me permission to prefix my name with a metal too soft to have any real use.

[Joinee Vic]

I've been misleading you Mark. This has been my whole reason for being a Joinee, the naive hope that one day Danny will notice that I exist and adorn me with a prefix.

so what metal would you choose to be?

That hurts more than not being metalled.

Joinee Mark, on 8 Dec 2008, 11:11 AM, said:

That sounds painful. Is that what they did to Tilc in Sargate, that gold thing on his forhead?

Danny's not going to start doing that to us is he?

That's not an easy question to answer there are 78 others to chose from. That's assuming I'm limited to elemental metals, if I have to consider alloys as well it could take a lifetime to decide.

Congratulations to everyone who got honoured, all very much deserved!

Commiserations to those that didn't but deserved to....Particularly the Nottingham joinees whose hard work has led me to believe that GGF is the very best meet of all!

[PJ Hannah B-R]

I love how stroppy I am before my morning Vicks. I swear I swore more this morning than I have in ages.

I am somewhat enamoured of GGF - it being the meet of initial meeting and, a year later, the meet of reuniting, so anyone who's ever organised one is a bright shining star in my eyes

Sorry I had a lie in this morning.

[HJCotW Spacemonkey]

It's just like 'Nam...

In all seriousness though, if people want people nominating, they just have to get in touch with any of the Platinum Joinees. As far as I know, they're all asked for input. So if someone who you feel is deserving hasn't been nominated then, at the very base of it, it's not really anyone's fault but your own. Not trying to cause waves or anything, but that's how it is.

Oh, and I was very surprised to be upgraded, but very apprecative. Thankyou.

MoT

[Golden Judas]

In all seriousness if anyone wants my Golding then they are welcome to it. I never heard it getting announced and to be honest I never expected anything for what I did. Never expect anything and you shall never be disappointed. That's my opinion on the matter.

But congratulations to all never the less.

[Joinee Ems]

Actually Sean, for a 'Platinum' Joinee and someone who has been instrumental in the last three K's I've never once been consulted in the honors list. I was under the impression that Danny had a couple of people he consulted personally who know well the goings on throughout the year (regardless of 'rank') and that if you happen to bother him on the night enough he'll upgrade you to get you off his case. I may well be talking out of urn, and if so I sincerely apologise (as well as for any spelling mistakes, for I have been on the Champagne and Manhattans again) but this is really what I had thought.

[SJ Del (The Train Man)]

All I can contribute is that I PM'ed Danny with a nomination, and that person was rewarded. However, it's entirely possible (or probable!) that a number of people had the idea of nominating that person and one of those is closer to Danny.

[Joinee WEG]

When I can change my name back, I'm gonna de-gold myself and be Joinee WEG again.

Ditto. I was thrilled to see the person I nominated get rewarded, whether or not my nomination counted!

[Captain K]

My understanding has always been very much as Emily says -- there are some people Danny particularly consults, but it's more because he knows they're quite well aware of the community, and connected to lots of the rest of us, rather than because of their !rank.

And as Del says, if you want to nominate somebody, let Danny know. He may be a very busy guy, but the nominations do seem to get noticed, eventually. With the exception of the extremely deserving Nottingham lot. But I blame Mark's chemistry lab for that. Metals are scared of going anywhere near in case he turns them into brooches made of lumps of purest green.

[PJ Stevie G]

I still remain firmly bamboozled by mine. And probably shall do for a good few years.

[Gold Joinee Torty]

I was in the loo for my silvering and wasn't at K5 for my Gold. Bit peeved looking back on it.

Well done all those honoured.

The GGF Trio are chocolate joinees surely...or eggy joinees (but that doesn't sound as nice) for their Easter efforts?

[Joinee Vic]

To all those people who don't know me. I was being sarcastic. I have never given a poo about being a silver or whatever joinee. It was more acknowledging that Zena gets angry on our behalf (which is kind off nice and in my opinion more important).

Not out of turn at all Em (or, indeed, urn. But I imagine you're not sitting in a type of vase, so I'll just go with turn )

I was making a general assumption of my own, really, based on the fact that the few people I know of that definitely have been consulted were Plats (not, technically, a spelling mistake ), and that it might be the same for all. It made sense in my little mind. But if other people are getting e-mailed noms taken seriously, then all the better.

And I wasn't trying to have a go at anyone before, more just making the point that if anyone is annoyed about perceived overlookings, then they can do something about it, as opposed to just being annoyed that it's not happened.

And Sean, thankies for asking Danny for my silver (and then him golding me 4 seconds later) but I am completely de-shinying myself to make it fair. Maybe year 4... I've asked Em to take me off the list. Merci.

I don't see why - Steve got his silvering by just asking Danny at Join Me June, and he never gave it up. I reckon it's fine, and since then lots of people have been silvered or Golded in that way.

You'll always be shiny to me, anyway, sweetheart!

Bless! I'd just rather it was that way, that's all. Kinda feel bad. Fun whilst it lasted but I have my drunken K6 video to make me giggle instead. Oh, and I can't change my name as I messed up the 30 day thing so I'm not clinging on!!

[Joinee Vic]

I'm sure everyone who has got a gold or silver (for whatever reason) deserve it. Keep them and stop being silly.

I didnt think you could give your metal up! I thought that once he said the words, that was it! Genetically binding!

Victoria wasn't even barmaiding that night so their were no distractions
