As a daft commoner, I'm so elated that others find me funny rather than unhinged - it's a fine line and it's good to know I'm just about on the right side of it.

"Last year it was a genuine honour to win this ridiculous award.

Believe it or not, I took it on tour with me and developed quite a bond with this magnificent beast.

Good luck to all the entrants and whoever wins - prepare yourself for a new inflatable friend"
