Thanks for putting the links to the previous year's threads but you obviously haven't read them as one of the prizes from the Guess the Cover quiz I do is the honour of starting the new thread for the next year which Marke09 was going to do on 20th December.
Obviously I'm aware anyone can start a thread but it's not very honourable of you ![]() ![]() We might as well stick to this thread, no point of creating another if we already have a 2016 thread done. PS: Thanks for the lovely comments about the OP

Its just a thread at the end of the day guys no matter who starts it, it's what we contribute that's the important thing, does anybody really know the reason who is behind starting it apart from a handful of people, most contributors wouldn't care , is it a kudos thing?

Yes, you are right, in the grand scheme of things it is just a thread. A triviality when all is said and done. But there are principles and principles are values of courtesy and politeness. |

This thread really should not have been created seeing as the honour of doing so is a prize that has already been won by someone else. The person who created it should request a mod lock/delete it or else we will have to think they did this as a deliberate spoiler.

Why just the limit to three decades? I remember Christmas TV in the early sixty' so a. D found it more exiting and compelling than anything in the period you have selected.

Shame that the mods dont actually read thread comments before merging them.

Mods - can you please just delete this thread so we can start again properly.
I assume the majority would support that. |
