The 2009 House Awards!

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen! It's that time of year again, when everyone is finishing University and getting ready to move home, so I feel it's time for the first ever annual House Awards! (And no Wood, they're not worth any Live Achievement Points)

The House Awards are specialised awards designed, by me, for members of the 13 Parker Close household along with one extra special category for outsiders!

House Awards are brought to you in association with Clockwork Musings and, I suppose, JohnWoodUK




A full list of nominations are as follows:
Matthew Common
Shaun Kellett
Kim Lippitt
Laura Perkins
Bronwen Russel-Jones

John 'Woody' Wood
Luke Woods

So without any further adue, lets begin!



*Warning: Some facts

may not be facts*


The 'Are you famous?' award for person most likely to make it big.
Shaun Kellett
Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

Shaun Kellett takes this title for the sheer fact that his website is better then that of John Wood! (see also Best Website)



The 'Do you know how I know you're gay?' award for gayest housemate.
Luke Woods

Honourable Mention(s)
Luke Woods & Luke Woods

Whether it’s liking songs which are just that bit too gay, his collection of white vest tops or his obsession with candles and mood lighting. Luke Woods is the gayest housemate!


The ‘Green Fingers’ award for best gardener

Luke Woods

As Matthew Commons brief foray into gardening ended in a dead plant in the lounge Luke Woods still, and probably always will, hold the title for the best gardener within the house.



The 'Guys, I was so drunk last night' award for best drunk housemate
John Wood
Honourable Mention(s)
Matthew Common, Shaun Kellett, Luke Woods

Though there has been many a moment when a housemate has made himself look silly whilst drunk this year the achievement really goes to the John Wood for his excellent performance on the night of his 23rd Birthday. Though Luke Woods comes close with his recent display over the bathroom sink! Shall we have a bottle of wine now?



The 'How long you going to be in there?' award for longest time spent in the bathroom.
Matthew Common!
Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

Housemates will know a little too well that not a day goes by when Matthew Common doesn't wake up and head straight for the bathroom to begin a 5 hour cleaning ritual in the shower. He has even been known to have two in one day!


The 'How many hits?' award for best website
Shaun Kellett
Not so Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

It's no competition, half the housemates don't have websites, and Shaun Kelletts is obviously better!

The 'I'll do it tommorow' award for sheer bone idleness
Shaun Kellett
Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

Whether its putting off Uni work, poor attendance, or simply not doing what needs to be done, the award goes to Shaun Kellett.

The 'Just one more level' award for housemate who spent the most time playing games.
John Wood
Honourable Mention(s)
Shaun Kellett


Though it could be considered a close one theres one housemate who just takes the lead. Be it for his 5 months straight playing time on WoW, his collection of almost 100 DS games, or simply playing Co-Op with his other housemates. Its John Wood!

The 'Knock before entering' award for housemate most likely to walk in on an embarassing moment.
Matthew Common
Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

Whether you’re getting changed, with a girl, or just plain in an embarrassing position, Matthew Common has to be the winner of this. This presenter alone has had Matthew Common walk in on a few of the worst situations.



The 'Man, I'm tired of singing" Award for most likely to be in a boy band.
Luke Woods!

Honourable Mention(s)
Matthew Common, Shaun Kellett, John Wood


Whether its his expert knowledge of Sound and Live event technology, his excellent recital of any musical, or just because he's Luke Woods, it just has to be Luke Woods to win this award.

The 'Mr Fixit' award for most apt at fixing house problems.
Luke Woods!

This was no competition. Whatever is broken, be it chair, table, cupboard or more Luke Woods is always there with a handy selection of tools to help make these problems go away. He even works after midnight!



The 'No Strings Attached' award for best single housemate.

Matthew Common
Honourable Mention(s)
Shaun Kellett & Luke Woods


It’s a hard one to judge. Three single housemates but only one title but in the end the award goes to Matthew Common for his many sneaks away on nights out and even sneakier MSN conversations. Single, and looking, get him while you can Ladies!



The “Oh Happy Days!” Award for happiest housemate.

Matthew Common

Honourable Mention(s)

Shaun Kellett, John Wood, & Luke Woods

Though each housemate has their happy days, and in turn also their off days the happiest housemate has got to be Matthew Common. Not known for throwing strops or starting arguments, whether its dancing in your door, singing in a high pitched manor, or just generally brandishing a smile, Matthew Common is named the Happiest Housemate.



The “Pass the map” Award for Messiest Housemate

Shaun Kellett

Whether its the state of his room, the fact he almost constantly leaves stuff in John Woods room, Shaun Kellett has to be the messiest housemate. At least in the other peoples rooms you can see the floor!



The ‘Turner What?’ Award for most artistic housemate

John Wood.
Honourable Mention(s)
Matthew Common & Shaun Kellett

A tough decision as 3 out of 4 housemates express creativity regularly; be it through writing, photography or film making. John Wood slipped ahead of the other housemates for his current work and dedication to his film “ImagiNoir”.

The 'Wakey Wakey!' award for person most likely to sleep in all day.
Shaun Kellett
Honourable Mention(s)
John Wood

It may be 3:00pm, but Shaun Kellett might still be asleep! He has been known to spend so much time in bed that his housemates have forgotten what he may have looked like!



The 'When I say X you say Y' award for person with the best catchphrases

Luke Woods


Whether a single phrase or a whole statement it was no competition that Luke Woods has, not only the largest amount, but the most catchy of catchphrases!



The 'Where exactly?' award for most foriegn housemate

John Wood


As all the other housemates are from the Midlands, we just have to ask, Scarborough? Really?


The 'Wrinkly Chef Face' award for best cook.
John Wood!
Honourable Mention(s)
Luke Woods

Though two housemates have proven to be daring and inventive cooks John Wood sneaks ahead with his new found love of trying to cook something new and his bringing of cook books to the house.

And Last but not least:


The 'You might as well live here!" award for best frequent guest.

Bronwen Russel-Jones

Honourable Mention(s)
Laura Perkins, Kim Lippitt

The other two in the running were strong candidates indeed but Bronwen Russel-Jones just snuck in there recently. Though she may not have spent as many nights in the house as the other two, she did craft her own bed and she did bring chicken!


And there you have it folks! This concludes the 2009 House Awards for 13 Parker Close!
