I object.

That's 2-1 to sticking with one week.

A bit short notice that.

I’m simply being truthful. I’m finding the albums increasingly un engaging. It might be just my problem but that’s how I’m feeling. Moving to two weeks would probably see me drop out completely.

Ok, objections noted. And maybe we have a problem then.

Technically it’s 4-3 (Foggy suggested it and BlueHammer also agreed). But I’d be happy to carry on so we could call that4-4.

It’s hard to please everybody, so apologies for the interruption of service.

If we were to carry on, we’d be relying on somebody willing to nominate. Who out of the following is willing to step forward?

@denislawsbackheel
@Mancitydoogle
@threespires
@GoatersLeftShin
@Gaudion M
@BimboBob

Priority is with those nearer the top of the list.
 
Not me.
I thought we’d agreed to a break.
In fact remove me from the list entirely.
Can’t be doing with precious divas.
If they have all the time in the world let them run it themselves.
 
I forgot where we were, regarding the break. Thought it was hust another regular week and we were going to delay another nomination. My apologies.
 
I’m happy to continue as it is if that’s what it takes, we don’t want anyone dropping out,but Sadds you do have to give a score even if you don’t like the album otherwise it skews the table and after all that’s meant to be part of the fun.

Thanks.

I agree, we don’t want anybody dropping out.

I’ll let the dust settle until tomorrow morning and see what further comments there are before then. If @denislawsbackheel cools down and wants to nominate, he can, or he can take his place later on.

Otherwise, assuming we are going to continue, you’ll be in the hot seat tomorrow @Mancitydoogle

Says the man who says he's leaving if we don't have a break.

Ok fortunately,I’ve got one prepared just in case.I’ll have think of some clues though.I’m still in Florida so remember I’m 5 hours behind so it’ll be posted in the afternoon.I’d prefer if @denislawsbackheel stays and nominates.

I’m sure you went to Florida before me and I’ve been back nearly two weeks! Sounds like a great holiday.

Anytime tomorrow is fine, it will give everybody more time to argue!

Yeh I did, I’m here for 6 weeks but I can work while I’m here, sadly I’m back this weekend.I didn’t suggest meeting for a drink as I’m about 3 plus hours away and you were on a family vacation.

There’s always time for a debate.

Ha ha. The family wouldn’t have let me escape from Disney World anyway!

Nice that you can work whilst you are there. I’ll tell you what though - I won’t be going back in June again! My God, 35 degrees day after day marching around the theme parks was hard work. We’ve moved next year’ visit to November.

I've got one ready to go too, as and when required.

A break is a break is a break...if you want one, go ahead. I'll still listen to the albums and score them.

There is a difference between a break, and an honest forgetting of timing, and switching to all nominations being two weeks, which is what Rob had noted. That I think could kill the thread, which is already dwindling.

No me neither ,the humidity is a killer, we normally come out at Easter and November/December but we were late this year due to our house move.
