Fuzzy Dunlop, you always do such a wonderful job posting these publications end of year lists.

IF Barny dies, will you replace him as the official end of year list man?

I probably would, if only because not having the end of year list collated would be more annoying than actually doing it

In short, please live forever, Barny.

Great to see my vote for Frank in The Skinny's list paid off.

pretty much there with my lists and write ups now. SO EXCITED FOR THURSDAY

God I can't wait! I'm done with my lists now, I'm so ready for Thursday!

Mines not gonna be done till NYE at the earliest . Soz.

Christmas ruined.

I hope Hepburn turns up for his 1 post of the year.

tbh I prefer the lists to be published along different days, mainly so I have time to read them all but also to create the illusion of the soapbox being alive again...

That's true. Can everyone stagger their lists this year? No more than one posted a day.

The quicker they are posted the quicker Barny can start the calculations.

Unlike last year I'm making a separated EP list. Oh yes I am.

Me too. There's been some cracking EPs this year.
