  • Writewords Walters and Wallies - 2006
    by Zettel at 19:55 on 26 January 2006
    Last year we had a bit of fun with the alternatives to the Oscars – The Writewords Walters and Wallies. So with the real thing on the 5th March any entries to this prize-free game will be accepted up to 4th March (So you can wait for Munich, Capote and New Country if you want to play safe). I’ll then collate entries and publish Writewords members’ choices and indicate who got closest to predicting the actual results. No need for rules as results will be totally statistical and objective but if we have any disputes I will be sole arbitrator and I promise to be absolutely partial and totally prejudiced. (To kick things off - if you want to put in a first crack at it now that's OK. Then if you want change your choice - up to 4th March - that's ok too, just indicate 'update 1,2,3,' etc and/or 'final'.

    I’d like to thank my Maltese dentist, my Polish bin man and my pet hampster ‘Ludwig’ (stateless) for the successful completion of this message). And sexy Susan - only you can know what I owe you - (there's a cheque in the post)
