Last Wednesday I was one of ten guys from work, who went to Coventry and the Ricoh Stadium, for The Manufacturer (magazine) Awards Ceremony.
Basically, Im one of two guys in the IT Dept and got the nod to go, as Id done the whole submission to the awards. Basically, I did it a bit differently, and made an interactive CD with a webpage style entry for the 7 categories we entered.
On the night, it turned out we got entered for 5, which itself isnt bad going at all. Sadly, we didnt bag any of them, and we were a bit down.
However, the award for which you couldnt put yourself forward/vote etc.. (i.e. the biggy) we won. So it wasnt all bad.
The event pretty much died on its arse after the final award was given out. So we ended up going to the Skydome to celebrate.
Well, I have to say, what a dive Coventry is... Especially the chavalicious (theyre everywhere) Lava & Ignite Nightclub. I have to admit, it was a good feeling walking into a nightclub in a Tux, however, kind of put a damper on things with it being such a dive.
After that, we ended up in Heat, another dive, but a dive with naked women. Even the women were munters.
Anyhow, pic of us. Spot the odd one out. Red hair at the back.
Well, thats us, the Manufacture of the Year 2006 (http://www.themanufacturer.com/awards/)...

Well done though mate, always good for the old CV.
Anyway as far as coventry is concerned ... I think you said it all.

I am. :twisted:
The bloody red hair glows like a bitch under flash.
I must just point out that the guy holding the award doesnt work for us. Christ knows who he is, and the guy on the right of the photo is Mr Mastermind, John Humphries.
congrats m8!
did you know that Munters is the name of a disaster recovery company? I arrived on site one day to be told by my boss that I would be working with Munters. I thought "thats a bit blunt, but nothing new", but it turned out to be their company. Quite a good description of them too as I recall.

:lol: we used to have a shop in Rotherham called Munters which sold practically all sorts, was like your modern day Wilkinsons. Proper cheap stuff. Used to buy our game gear games for about Ã,£5 a pop in there.
Great word though.
Munters, Munters, MUNTERS!!
Club the moustachioed one under your hand and steal his pot o gold. :lol:
