Hi Anne,
Just So You Know, Conrad actually has two other children Myself Ben and my sister Emily. I am 16 and she is 13, but by reading the comment you left, you arent aware of this. My dad has no contact with us other than a single christmas and birthday card that is written by his wife and posted to us. We have not spoken to him in 6 years, because we used to see him every weekend, but eventually he just stopped seeing us. I was a little concerned you didnt have the “full picture” when I read you comment about being committed to his family – I just thought you would like to know the situation.

Yours,
Ben Newbold

Johnny Doom – a living legend and a man with whom I have spent some of my finest moments. I’ve never laughed so much as when he asked a hippy at Castle Morton festival to ‘Didgeri – DON’T!’ Can’t believe he’s gonna win this! The scouse posse’s backing him. He’s also got the Indonesian Massive behind him! Go, lad, go!

Haha – forgot about Gavin from Auto Windscreens-fame, he’s a legend too! Gotta be up there as well.

I agree with Sam. If you want someone who is controversial and not afraid to appear non-pc, then Roshan Doug is your man. As a columnist he is something else and has certainly made me take notice. And… I read his poetry collection about 9/11. I was impressed how lyrical and moving it was… nothing like his columns!

Sorry Jon, I know you’re looking for other nominations but I’m afraid I’m going to have to throw all of my support behind the fabulous, inspirational and unique Helga Henry. An hilarious, supportive, all-knowing, intuitive, supremely generous and kind ambassador of the creative sector (and everyone in it), the city of Birmingham and life itself!

Helga is a living legend and although I have only been in Birmingham for 3 years, she has, without doubt, been the main cause of making it feel like my home. She’s my own super-hero and surrogate mum and I will right behind Dean if she doesn’t win. As far as I’m concerned, she’s been my Brummie of the Year for three years and if I can help in making that official, all the better. Bring on the voting!!
