OK folks, (if anyone's still interested)
Here are the results to my Yuletide Caption Competition

even for those people who went for quantity rather than quality!!!!!!.
And just to show there are no hard feelings on the religion front, I'm happy to send a prize to D Louth.
But, please don't imagine for a minute, those of you who don't own turntables, that you'll make anything by selling your treasured trophy on Ebay!! You may find another use for it though.
I'm not sure how to do this, but perhaps you guys can pm me with your addresses & I'll get your prizes in the post - I'll understand if you don't want to supply your details to me (a total stranger, who knows you all have valuable hifi gear in your houses- see below a quote from my first post to this forum to elaborate on this). If there's another way, then let me know.
I use the name The Grand Wazoo rather reluctantly and here’s why.
I have a thing about people using internet forums and using assumed names.
I think that this can give licence to people to say things that they would not normally feel able to say. This encourages rudeness, crudeness and in the worst cases, probably libel. I do not believe that in a normal situation people should be able to say anything without accountability.
However, in the case of this forum, I feel I have to alter my stance somewhat. The reason for this is that I will probably be speaking about highly desirable, valuable and portable possessions, worth, in total, far more than the new value of my family car. I will not do anything to allow the guys with the stripey shirts and the bags marked ‘swag’ to find out where my prized possessions reside. Therefore, I will not, in this case, be using my real name.
