WA's 'oscars' - well, who won???
Well, come on then! You've drooled and gibbered about this Night of Nights for several posts (on several, if not all, of the available forums) and now those folks from out of town who couldn't get there demand satisfaction!!
So back to back, walk twenty paces, turn and let us have it!

Thou bawdy beef-witted wagtail! (I like that one....)

Re: WA's 'oscars' - well, who won???
Thanks El...
And thank you to Kerri for providing El and everyone with the information...
Last night was fabulous... a wonderful night, fantastic entertainment and a lot of celebrating afterwards (hence my late entry into Sunday and my computer activities).
Later on today I will provide you all with a better run down.
Cheers (hmmm - cuppa's)

Well, considering there were some posters interested in the Finlays from "over east" I'd say THAT'S pretty out of town, wouldn't you?
Well done and congrats to all the victors and (hey, why not?) vanquished alike!
