I have just received my invitation from Shami to the 2010 Liberty Human Rights Awards on 29th November. It's a drinks reception followed by a presentation from 7.45pm until 9.15pm and will be hosted by Rory Bremner.

It's an 'opportunity to recognise the inspirational individuals and organisations at the forefront of human rights issues and to celebrate their achievements.'

I wondered if you'd like to accompany me? (Always assuming you're not already going to be there as an award winner.)

Yikes! It doesn't say that on the invitation Shocked

I'm praying that element is voluntary.

Will Mr. winkle be required to cross dress, or are same sex couples tolerated?

As a member of 'Lawyers for Liberty', Sib, I will fight for winkle's right to accompany me in something floral and floaty.

Enjoy your jaunt, O.

Winkle, your forensic skills are wanted on Gene's "suicide bombers" thread. (Best not look in, O, or cognitive dissonance may kick in.)

Well if he did escort you there'd be no need for Rory to do his Abbott and Portillo impersonations.

(Was sure this thread was going to be a request for info about the Fraudley v Hayemaker fight)

'Abbott and Portillo' - I like that, UTI Laugh

Embarrassingly, I never noticed it before and, notwithstanding that it is a criticism of the hypocrisy of my odd relationship with winkle, I will now alter its context and make it mine.

No, but my security people will undertake a cavity search if you ask nicely.

When I introduce you to Shami, for goodness sake remember to curtsey.

A great shame Orioles doesn't post anymore Sad He was a great old stick.

He still is, though I agree about his lack of posts.

Uncle O (not sure why I call him Uncle as I reckon I am somewhat older than the old booger!) is a forum legend and without any shadow of a doubt the finest commish in this history of commishing.

Mind you, two of the others ran off with the dosh, so maybe that isn't the greatest praise I could give him.

Not Ronn of course, Ronn didn't nick anything. Ronn is sound, albeit Lancastrian.

I think it was minjita that called him Uncle first Fenners, as in Uncle Monty from Withnail And I.

He is still running our Betfair NFL Fantasy, and indeed his team is doing very well. He is of course an utterly hapless MLB fantasy manager.

i emailed him a few months back, he said he's okay.

Lost his phone number though.

Said he was a personal friend of Silvio Berlusconi....so I crossed him off my Christmas card list.
