Best joke of the season: Improbable Duncan Smith's Christmas message claiming that "over the past year our Party has taken the first steps on the long road back to electoral victory." (I guess they're planning to go the long way round)
Biggest unfulfilled promise in a headline: Archer killed in freak accident
Proudest achievement of a short headline: For a story about how an Austrian court is making a businessman's mistress pay for the cost of the private detective hired by his wife - Chargez la femme
Best headline suggestion in a letter to a paper: Given the recent weather, and the electoral defeat of Kenya's president - Après Moi, le déluge
Customer service award: The attempt to smuggle cannabis hidden in a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken past umpteen highly suspicious armed policemen besieging the Hackney gunman
Best example of Nativity Rage: Man bursts into Waltham Abbey and takes hatchet to faces of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
