Congratulations

But perhaps the most telling sign, albeit a light-hearted one, that the economic gloom has become almost too much to bare, ‘Forum Personality’ of 2009 went to the aptly-named ‘Eternal Optimist.’

The vote marks a slight departure from previous years where the posters of witty, sometimes cutting, comments on CUK's Bulletin Board were the only nominees and winners of the title.

Congrats to Eternal Optimist, though not all his posts are quite so optimistic!

Interesting article too - though the point about newcomers undercutting on the rate due to their lesser experience - I don't agree with that I'm sure a lot of redundant employees had more than adequate experience too, it it probably more so that the agencies have told them not to expect too much in rates due to a) the economic climate b) the opportunity to make more margin out of a newbie!

The post was marginally edged by ‘test: please delete’, a now censored thread of the Web’s barely dressed ladies, which has been viewed more than one million times.

Since when was TPD about barely dressed ladies?

Also celebrating consecutive yearly wins is SJD Accountancy, which scooped ‘Best Accountant’, having won more than half the vote, trumping Nixon Williams and Plan IT in joint second.

Not bad for NW seeing as CUK didn't bother to list them as a choice.

In the beginning it was, till FG posted his specialist One-a-Day thread.

Not enough, but maybe imminent SKA success will make me win it in 2009
