113.0. "NOTE OF THE YEAR 1991/92" by ESSB::TSHAUGHNESSY (Electric Shaughs!) Fri Nov 01 1991 23:01

I think the time is ripe in any case to start the Note of the Year topic
once again. As I know Cunno personally any nomination for him would be 
construed as favouritism. So, My nominations to start the ball rolling for 
1991/92 season would have to go to Mike McCabe for his two excellent articles,
I couldn't distingush which was the better of the two so, I nominate the 
following in order of entry :-

46.167  
       A marvellous unbias report on the turmoils following the decline of 
"Busbys Babes". And his acclaim for probably one of the "Best" footballers that
has ever graced the turf of Old Trafford. Riveting piece of writing with the 
utmost of respect for Manchester United's history.
		
30.85  
       The Aldo followers ignorant infatuation with "The Great one". Brilliant
piece of dialogue. a scream :-). There are critics in football with an indept 
knowledge of the game and report very well on them. Mike is the best critic of 
TGA I have ever read. Martin you should be ashamed !!! Note 727.69 in the 
football_archive topic confirms my assumption, which introduced the Aldoism
and Cunnovitis diseses to the World.

Its about time someone in this notesfile gave us interesting reading and 
constructive writing besides the banter about which clubs and players are
the best and worst (certain cities and its citizens not too far from Dublin
especially).Thanks for a good read, and a great laugh Mike. 

Rgds,
Shaughs.

	Cheers Shaughs, Thanks to you we've got a B-movie scenario down in London as I write. It's called "The Ego that ate Enterprise House". Mr McCabe's head is inflating at such a rate that the building has been evacuated and the army have been called in. Barry. :^) :^) I personally prefer Mike and Stuart's "Bing n Bob" type jaunts and of course TLC. His defence of Schumacher has'nt been equalled.
113.2	Was Dorothy Lamour a rough old slapper or what?	YUPPY::PANES	Lets hear it for Jim Bob and Fruitbat	`Mon Nov 04 1991 16:10`	16

His defence of Schumacher has'nt been equalled. You are of course refering to that to that oft repeated classic "The Road to Wembley" ( featuring C.P.F.C) Barry Norman ( no relation )
113.3	66.45	MDRLEG::AREVALILLO	Nosce te ipsum	`Wed Nov 06 1991 14:30`	6
	I think that 66.45 (Cunno) must be one of the favourites to the "Note of the Year" title. Saludos JUANJO
113.4	ADDITION	MDRLEG::AREVALILLO	Nosce te ipsum	`Wed Nov 06 1991 17:30`	7
	APPENDIX TO PREVIOUS NOTE BY MYSELF When I wrote the previous note, at no moment did I pretend to be joking (no *-) sign), just the other way round. So, that note must be favourite for the "Unconscious Note of the Year" title. JUANJO
113.5	But then I'm biased....	ASKFOR::HAIGH	A vision of guerrilla goodness.	`Fri Jan 17 1992 15:35`	12
	At this early stage of 1992, I'd like to nominate <<< Note 57.60 by VARESE::SKELCHER >>> -< Don Howe, master of the absurd >- An absolute cracker! Steve Haigh
113.6	in the true spirit of the conference	KERNEL::HAWLEYI	Ian Hawley, South UK VMS support	`Thu Feb 27 1992 13:34`	6
	31.220... well, it made me laugh... :-) Ian.
113.7	Game for a laugh	ULYSSE::BREADIE		`Fri Feb 28 1992 13:52`	3
	32.1082 Brief but brilliant ! Read 32.1081 first to appreciate the piss take
113.8		ECCGY4::HAIGH	If voting ever solved anything, they'd ban it.	`Mon Oct 11 1993 12:47`	2
	32.3036 get's my vote for this year.
113.9		IOSG::jonpc1.reo.dec.com::alffa::button	Jon Button@REO	`Thu Feb 13 1997 14:49`	2
	Note 591.73 must be a strong contender for this year!
