<description>&lt;p&gt;Wow... what a time for my computer to have a fit... sorry for the amount of incomplete blog posts - and the delay in deleting them - what can i say, i blame Mr Gates!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyway where was i?&amp;nbsp; oh yes...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I dont think i was wrong with my list of all time greats... and i think this mornings results backed me up... Rolf Harris truely is a musical genius, and shall forever be held in the hall of fame along side Queen, the Beatles and Timmy Mallett...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think i prefer Rolf&amp;#39;s version of I Touch Myself i have to be honest&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;... I say Badge... there is no badge - but oh well...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../Layla2/&quot; title=&quot;Layla2&quot;&gt;Layla2&lt;/a&gt; may not have been around much - infact she was last seen over a year ago, after coming on, registering, and disappearing without a trace... but the thing is, we are not here to judge peole based on their activity... no... we judge people purely on their Avatar... or at least i do!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is why Layla2 joins the hall of fame (ok i havent made the hall of fame yet - but it&amp;#39;s coming i promise!) as a worthy winner of the Bakeri Avatar Award for Absolute Avatar Brilliance! Her choice of Fraggle Rock picture not only fills your heart with the warm fuzzy feeling of memory lane, but also shows you can be original with your screen shots. So go visit her, and maybe we can entice her back into the fold...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bakeri Avatar Awards, filling peoples Inboxes with notifications of cheap tacky awards with no badges&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I have done it... i have found the good thing about having children!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have just had a lovely week off work because i jumped on the excuse that it was my Girlfriends child&amp;#39;s half-term holiday... and it was the smartest move i&amp;#39;ve ever made!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was a good length, long enough to chill, and enjoy not having to get up, or shave... but not so long that i resented going to work this morning... Maybe the future of employment is to alternate, one week working, one week at home - now i just need to find a boss that will let me do it on full pay!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;ok, so maybe its not as dramatic as the end of the world... but its certainly more enjoyable!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is Friday, the weekend starts here... but before we all run away theres just time for one last Bakeri Avatar Award! Todays winner has an Avatar that has often put a smile on my face because its a bit of a memory poker, and is certainly a lot of fun... it is my great pleasure to award the final Bakeri Avatar Award of the week to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../Gruffalo/&quot; title=&quot;Gruffalo&quot;&gt;Gruffalo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to admire his new awards logo... tough - i dont get to give them out... but he has got a profile shout - so pay him a visit, add your own shout, wish him well and then figure out how you are going to steal his title next week, as the Bakeri Avatar Awards on Absolute Radio continue...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bakeri Avatar Awards... Exclusively on Absolute Radio - forcing VIP&amp;#39;s to recognise each others existance!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I should really have a hall of fame... but for now - see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../94869/announcing_todays_winner___.html&quot; title=&quot;yesterdays winner&quot;&gt;Yesterdays Winner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Because of the humourous and original nature of his Avatar, and his ongoing ability to avoid &amp;#39;Cute Bunnies&amp;#39; the winner of the Bakeri Avatar Award for today is&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Drum Roll)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../_bunny378/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;_BUNNY378&quot;&gt;_BUNNY378&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you want to be awarded the prestigious Bakeri Avatar Award (even though you dont get a pretty picture for your profile) and get a shout on your wall and a mention blog mention... or if you just want to meet random new people, why don&amp;#39;t you pay him a visit... say hello, maybe even congratulate him on his achievemnt - and then figure out a way to take the title!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bakeri Avatar Awards, making new connections thanks to competetive streaks&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../94724/Awards_Are_Us.html&quot; title=&quot;Yesterdays Winner&quot;&gt;Yesterdays Winner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;it&amp;#39;s that time again, where i reward one of the Absolute VIP&amp;#39;s for their efforts in the realms of Avatar Art.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since the VIP are is what we make it, I think it&amp;#39;s only fair that those members of our community that make the place brighter and more entertaining with their pictures get recognised... But since the powers that be still wont let me hand out Award Badges to display on the profile, we will have to be happy with a shout and a blog mention.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Todays winner is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../00_blonde#shout&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;00 Blonde&quot;&gt;00 Blonde&lt;/a&gt;, who has shown incredible talent at Avatar choosing... so pay her a visit, say hi, and then plot her downfall!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bakeri Avatar Awards, Bringing VIP&amp;#39;s together via the medium of competition&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../94594/Absolutely_All_About_Awards.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Yesterdays Winner&quot;&gt;Yesterdays Winner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;its a mad crazy idea i know, but with Dave AKA&amp;nbsp;Nastyman&amp;#39;s blog ( &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../nastyman/blog/94619/Outstanding_Contributor.html&quot;&gt;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/nastyman/blog/94619/Outstanding_Contributor.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;) about a lack of Outstanding Contributor Awards being handed out, and with my re introduction of my Avatar Awards (see last blog &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../94594/Absolutely_All_About_Awards.html&quot;&gt;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/bakeri666/blog/94594/Absolutely_All_About_Awards.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;) i was thinking... maybe we should be able to hand out real awards, with a badge to go on the VIP Profile Page and everything... obviously the powers that be would have the right to veto badges and award schemes to ensure it kept safe, clean and legal... but it would be down to the Awarding VIP to pick winners for their Award...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;What do you think? and if you could hand out your own Award to Absolute VIP&amp;#39;s (including staff members of course, we dont want to stop Llia getting Awarded) what would your Award be for??&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Cast your mind back... there was a time when a VIP known to a select few as iain, wandered the hallowed halls of the Virgin Radio Website (yes it was THAT long ago) and selected fellow VIP&amp;#39;s for a &amp;#39;special shout&amp;#39; rewarding them for their efforts in the relm of Avatarship...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well today is an important day in the world of Absolute Radio... because the Avatar Awards have Returned...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hoorah!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The first winner of the Bakeri Avatar Award for Absolute VIP&amp;#39;s is RobHughes... visit him here &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/../../../robhughes/&quot;&gt;http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/vip/profile/robhughes/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and either congratulate him, berate him, or just say hi...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bakeri Avatar Awards...

<description>&lt;p&gt;Even though the website has jumped the gun by a week, i have to say, i&amp;#39;m a little excited by the absolute branding...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;the website is a lot cleaner, and seems a little classier now... and i have to say i like the purple!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still not 100% convinced by the name, but it&amp;#39;s slowly growing on me... but well done to the web team for a very pretty re-design&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;I am at the stage in my career where i get to create a CV, but with the benefit this time of it being years since i&amp;#39;ve had to, and no longer having teachers telling me how... and i&amp;#39;ll be honest - im stuck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You see in my mind a cv should sell you, should make potential employers go &amp;quot;wow, i want to know more about this guy&amp;quot; - so i want to get it right...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went on a CV writing website, and the resultant CV was very bland, had no depth, and i dont think quite cut it... but i dont know what im supposed to do to make it right...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;oh well... i will learn! its an adventure!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
