Back in July, gransnetters nominated their favourite character in film, television or radio drama for The Roses, media awards for the portrayal of older people.

After much cogitating wine here at GNHQ, we've drawn up a shortlist and you have until Friday 5 October to vote for the winner.

Michael, Judi, Judy, Maggie or Tom?

Check out the shortlist here and cast your vote. www.gransnet.com/life-and-style/activities/the-roses

Me too. No-one can hold a candle to Michael Caine!

JO4 Thu 04-Oct-12 09:40:30

I've voted for Michael.

We need to show 'em there's life in us old gals yet.

We've got memories. smile [sigh]

JO4 Thu 04-Oct-12 09:39:06

I'll bet Geraldine pops up now and says "Judi Dench is a very special friend of mine and she is a very nice person". wink

JO4 Thu 04-Oct-12 09:37:30

Just vote for Michael Caine - cos he's he's gorgeous. smile

The rest of 'em can't hold a candle!

Looked at the list, heard of all of them, haven't seen any of the programmes/films involved so shan't vote

JO4 Wed 03-Oct-12 10:29:37

Phew! grin

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 03-Oct-12 10:09:11

It happened long since. And don't worry - you are not entirely to blame grin

JO4 Wed 03-Oct-12 10:07:59

shock I just meant it must have been coming for some time - with the likes of us to deal with!!!

grin

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 03-Oct-12 10:05:21

J04 - at last???????

JosieGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 03-Oct-12 09:39:15

Toenail! That's what it reminded me of Ana!

Ana Tue 02-Oct-12 22:24:42

Could be a toenail....hmm

JO4 Tue 02-Oct-12 22:16:39

She's lost it.

At last.

hmm grin

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 02-Oct-12 21:17:03

oops - clearly that should be TOO much. I am a pedant of the highest order. Just can't type

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 02-Oct-12 21:15:53

But if I have to much wine wine wine I will definitely be confused and the only option will be moon (which in this case could either be bed or a foil wrapped sausage...I don't suppose I would mind which if I'd had that much. Hic

jeni Tue 02-Oct-12 20:25:12

grin

POGS Tue 02-Oct-12 20:19:01

Cari, not confused but blush which could lead on to a wink which might make someone grin or ofcourse another hmm, hopefully nobody will be shock and all will smile

wine

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 02-Oct-12 20:10:45

It's a very versatile moon. Indeed it could be a sausage wrapped in silver foil? confused

POGS Tue 02-Oct-12 20:04:56

Cari

I thought you had given JO 4 her sausage emotican on Site Stuff, then I realised it was a moon. Sorry. blush

Barrow Tue 02-Oct-12 15:44:41

Balanced your laptop on your knee whilst driving around shock. I think I am going to have an attack of the vapours!

CariGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 02-Oct-12 14:17:12

<curses fact we don't have a sausage emoticon>

JO4 Tue 02-Oct-12 13:28:48

" I balanced my laptop on my knee so I could listen to radio programmes as I drove around at the weekend."

He he he.

Poor old sausage! grin

GeraldineGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 02-Oct-12 13:26:05

I did not use a pin, much as I was tempted as I balanced my laptoop on my knee so I could listen to radio programmes as I drove around at the weekend.

I have very assiduously watched all the programmes and read all the articles. I am getting a judging lunch tomorrow smile but it's scheduled to take four hours shock hmm

Sorry, some of the less usual suspects only had one vote on the thread or sometimes they hadn't done anything in the last year.

We spent ages debating the shortlist, honestly.

I am tempted to say the judges' decision is final. But that means you, really.

Barrow Tue 02-Oct-12 13:13:35

I love Judi Dench but have to agree with JO4 there are other actors - perhaps we could have a second list not comprising of the usual suspects.

JO4 Mon 01-Oct-12 16:50:18

Yes. I'm sure it was easy. You used a pin didn't you? hmm

jeni Mon 01-Oct-12 16:37:29

Geraldine! Was it enough to send you demented?
