I've enjoyed reading some brilliant comments this year on various threads and have been kindly pointed to some works of genius which have rightly received many accolades as well as receiving pages and pages of posts.
But what do people think is the best thread of the year?
I would humbly suggest the following, which had me in stitches of laughter on many occasions.

As is the case with the best threads, it starts off innocently enough...

Nice to see I'm in the thread of the year.
The guy who made looters has never even opened the message I sent him on here. If he gets in touch I have got him an arrow signed by Geraint Thomas.
It was properly funny when I logged in and saw the pic for the first time. I now have Looters on my office wall. Genius.

Some great threads there, but for sheer entertainment value, it has to be the Polocini signage thread for me.

I think 'Reacher' has to be creaping in there with his 'Police and Bikes' thread. Especially as, after it had been dead for two months, he resurrected it, only to make an idiot of himself again (in the view of the other posters )

It seems that we best like the threads that are hijacked.. i.e. "get back in your box".
Steelem was good and whilst I am still enjoying the organic and slightly disturbing longevity of "Please delete..." I am not convinced if secteur meant it that way, honorable mentions for Giantmikes cocktail party, very seasonal. But for laugh out loudness Polocini's failure to remove some event signage from the moon, Obama's lapel and the looters amongst other was thread jacking at its best. Chapeau.0 -
