Have I missed the ceremony again? The clocks went back when? Oh well, I'll just leave this note that says: "Congratulations, Ludicity - there was some class stuff in there and no mistake. A worthy WoM indeedy." I'd also like to throw in a 'Quiet Man' award to Stan 'The Man' Laurel. Fine jests you've gotten me into, Stanley. . </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6424 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 07:07:14 +0000 jp1885 6424@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well done Ludo - a convincing and thoroughly well-deserved win!</p> <p>Now let's have none of this hiding behind crash helmets and tins of custard and give us a proper WOM photo! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6423 Thu, 08 Apr 2010 06:52:34 +0000 antharrison 6423@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Some fantastic stories and one-liners.

Some really great stories. You do a wonderful line in pleasingly surreal takes on current affairs, and the Cohen-ometer rates you as the funniest writer on the site. There, see if that doesn't ruin things for you. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6391 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 19:40:45 +0000 Scroat 6391@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I always knew he was a girl. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6378 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:44:16 +0000 Ludicity 6378@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Biscuits of Britain (and the world),</p> <p>Thank you for your kind words and support over this difficult campaign. </p> <p>This is no time for soundbites but I do feel the hand of Tony Blair upon my shoulder. For without such people: the Blairs, the Browns, the Camerons and the Cleggs, such a victory would not have been possible. </p> <p>I believe it was St Francis of Biscuitry who once said: Where there is discord may we bring parody, where there is error may we bring scorn. Where there is doubt may we bring a sequence of increasingly bad puns. And where there is despair may we bring a story about the Large Hadron Collider. </p> <p>Thank you, thank you. I raise my mug to you all. </p> <p>Lots of Love, </p> <p>Lucy xxx </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6376 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:30:17 +0000 nealdoran 6376@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Congrats to Ludicity, who like his predecessor in WoMhood, is a class act.</p> <p>I think the top writers on here just know what they're doing. And it's been clear for months that Ludicity knows what he's doing. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6369 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:09:02 +0000 Scroat 6369@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice one Ludo.

May I also take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ed for the honourable mention. Does that entitle me to a NB teabag, or at the very least, to the retention of my deposit? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6351 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:13:29 +0000 Des Custard 6351@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think a mention for Stan would be appropriate too, ed. 1 FP and 7 NiBs isn't much of a football chant but it's a damn fine achievement.</p> <p>Nice one Ludo (qv earlier mentions). How about a proper photo?</p> <p>And I'm pleased to see that MADJEZ is to be promoted from 'guest'. He was starting to use the place like a hotel.</p> <p>P.S. you still owe me two mugs, ed. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6350 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 17:04:54 +0000 Stan Laurel 6350@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Fine effort Ludo. Congrats! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6349 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:44:28 +0000 Mary Evans 6349@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Yay! Go Lucy! You are one of the finest writers on the site for my money and really glad to see you get a star on the Walk of Fame. Good on you sir/madam - keep up the good work. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6346 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:20:58 +0000 The All New Jeni B 6346@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>About bloody time! Jesus rose from the dead quicker than you lot making a decision.</p> <p>Anyway, congrats to Ludicity, (see, not so hard, is it?) Well done you! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2147#post-6345 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:18:38 +0000 editor 6345@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Apologies for the delay in announcing this month's Writer of the Month, but an unforeseen Easter Break caught us off guard and we spent the rest of the time trying to work out the correct spelling of 'Ludicity'. As already widely predicted he/she (hard to tell from that photo) is the Writer of the Month for March with an impressive half a dozen front pages, plus a clutch of News In Briefs and a left alert or two for good measure. Well done Ludi - and great to have a new name on the trophy.</p> <p>Honourable mentions also due for JP1885, Des Custard, Oxbridge, AdrianJ, and Madjez making a strong enough debut to deserve not to be referred to as 'guest' any day now. And also (as has been pointed out below) to Stan Laurel, who has been a constant presence in the News In Brief section as well as penning a great front page and appearing in the archives section to boot.</p> <p>Thanks to everyone who posted a story or suggested a one liner... This is NewsBiscuit's first election - let's see if we can get a story quoted in a national newspaper - an extra prize to anyone whose satirical contribution makes it into the national debate... </p>
