nicecupofteaandasitdown’s glory
I’m breaking (again) my self-imposed prohibition against posting about things from boingboing.net. Sort of. The boingboing crew had a link to this lovely website about having a cup of tea and a biscuit: www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com. What they didn’t report on tho, was that NCOTAASD (as they call themselves) just won an eMap Fanzine award for “best webzine”. The report of the event on the NCOTAASD is so delectable I am forced to reproduce it here.
NCOTAASD wins a proper award
Well it was off the glamourous east end of London for the Wife and I last night to the first eMap Fanzine awards. eMap are the people behind tons of different magazines, like ‘The Face’, ‘FHM’, ‘Heat’, ‘Empire’ and ‘Steam Railway’. We had a nice cup of tea on the 17:45 to Kings Cross and a HobNob flapjack, so we hit the event all guns blazing. We were thrilled to come top in the Webzine category, and also thrilled to find out that we are a ‘Webzine’, something which we were largely ignorant of till now.
At one point we were offered a lovely bottle of Champagne to celebrate with, and I think we were meant to open it up in a triumphant Formula 1 sort of way. However, I said that we would take it home with us and probably have it Friday evening whilst watching telly.
