Hot women? Cars? Your favourite Windows OS? ;)

With all due respect, I don't think any of those will be super long.

:lol:

That'll be a very short poll.

What about "favourite toy or game of all time".
That has the potential to le long.

Could get messy. Do you include electronic toys, computer games (always partisan), or should the poll just be about games that don't need batteries?

Board games? Though that still leaves you with the battery question I guess if that's a concern :)

I'd say board games, but maybe the list would be too short. Maybe we could include toys like frizbee etc. The issue would be how to define what's allowed, for example some board games come with a battery powered gizmo. As long at the battery powered item isn't the main part of the game I wouldn't have an issue with it.

Well I'm giving it a try and we'll see how messy it gets.

Appreciate your thanks guys and I do apologise for some of the delay in putting out some of the heats.

Most of those are all the same kind of chocolate, but just squirted through different nozzles to change the shape, so really the choice is between Cadbury’s, Nestlé and Mars, which shouldn’t qualify as chocolate according to manufacturers from across the Channel. Different delivery systems means that the choice has ballooned into an incredibly long list.

The poll was really about chocolate you'd buy in a supermarket, petrol station or corner shop. It was also more about what you would buy when you wanted some chocolate and went to a corner shop. Given that mostly it'd be some kind of chocolate bar or similar, this is what I aimed my poll at. Not every type of chocolatrle available.

What happened to Green and Blacks? I’m sure they were there somewhere, as were other more distinct, and proper, European chocolates?

There were some entry criteria to meet (as stated above) but basically I made a list of whatever chocolates were nominated. I went through as much as I could myself but relied on what others nominated (albeit flawed, it did represent this forums preferences). Only two G&B chocs were nominated. Unfortunately the full list was on the old forum and was culled during the Great Exodus.

I was thinking about one dedicated to 80s cartoon intros using youtube so people could watch them and give their votes based on actual videos rather than memories. You could do food again eg crisps or beer but it needs to be something that everyone can enjoy. For games, I would limit them to traditional ones like boardgames and construction. I had around 84 nominations so your list would need to be of a similar size.

Didn't we have a cartoon one or a theme one in the old Dennis forums?
