Winning a Rory

I seem to recall you & and Ginny satirising the award process by doing a Norman Gunston on the Ditmars and stuffing the award down your trousers at the ceremony. I read an essay by Harlan Ellison from about 30 years or so ago, in which he said awards often had more to do with personal popularity & politics that the intrinsic merit of the work. This is often true of the most famous awards in the world, the Oscars, whole books have been written about classic films, great performances et al which were overlooked at the time.
