No problem, just letting everyone know the decision will be without fear or favour to anyone. The decision is subjective so opinions may well vary as to who is most deserving.

Congrats to all the winners.

I must admit that I was a little horrified to see a Rolex dipped in Ramen. I hoped you didn't eat the noodels afterwards.
