The 2nd Annual 2006 IAR Readers Poll: Results

First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all 1,329 of you for voting in this years Readers Poll.

That is pretty much 1,000 more votes than the poll got in last time, so to say I'm a little bit chuffed is an understatement.

I'd also like to thank everyone who's emailed me over the past year telling me what a good job I've been doing. I like those kind of emails, they not only brighten the mood in the office but they also make me want to add more wondrous (!!!!!!) things for you all to read.

Anyways, enough of all THAT CRAP, you'll be pleased to know I've been working for 2 days straight on tallying up the votes, and have come up with Top 5's for everything. The Rogue Traders, Girls Aloud, Madonna and Desperate Housewives all did very well. You also all seem to have fairly good taste in most things, although I am a little bit worried about the couple of Foo Fighters entries that landed on my desk, but never mind. You all have brilliant taste in websites too, with Ausculture winning the poll as your fave site.

I'd also like to applaud those of you who, in the TV Actor Of The Year category, sent forth "Boyd from Neighbours, but only with his top off". There were three of you.

Congratulations must go out to Nazreen Hamid in Victoria, Australia, for winning the mega-prize pack as well. Everyone's name went into a rather large cooking pot, and I got my dear Mother to pick a name out of the pot. Runners Up announced when we can find their prizes.

PS: The McFly/Harry Potter comp has been won, more on that tomorrow!

    Hey, you made a mistake! The no.1 website is supposed to say "Dirrrty Pop!"

    Otherwise, very agreeable results!

    It's also weird to see a post that effectively hasn't happened yet, since it's still Monday here.
