  21. Dear Mr Gray,
    My admin team have just informed me that you are invited to appear on the Graham Norton Show simply to brag about your coveted Laughing Horse blog award. The BBC will send a chauffeur some time during the next week. Listen out for the horn.
    Clearly your regular readers, in a veritable cascade of admiration, are in no doubt about your star credentials.
    Best Wishes,
    Lord Pudding B.A.(Hons), Cycling Proficiency (First Class)

  27. Congratulations John...your post 'In Memoriam - a Review of the Year' deserves that award alone!

  28. "I will make sure that I wear something non bleech stained with a functional zip in readiness"

    John, have you SEEN the Graham Norton show??? I think you better wear the tattered and torn garb just in case... There is often some "Graham-Foolery" that may be better suited to your tried and true wear.

  29. Congrats on this most prestigious award! Your blog is certainly worthy of many accolades so this is the best place to begin. Is this something like the Hasty Pudding Award that Harvard gives out?? Best wishes to you and your family for the new year dear friend!

  31. I add my hearty congratulations, sir, although I am not laughing my frock off, mainly because I do not wear a frock (except on special occasions in the privacy of my own home...NOT! lol!) but if I did, I'm sure I would be laughing it off with the others, thereby baring my nakedness for all to see, admire, and envy.
