Hosted by the one and only Mr. Salty πΆπ€
6π 1. SALTINEST MALE OF THE YEAR

Mr. Salty's verdict:
"Frankly, nobody else was even close." π
π 2. SALTINEST FEMALE OF THE YEAR
Winner: Piers Morgan's Twitter/X mentions
Yes, we're cheating slightly.

Acceptance speech:
"We'd like to thank absolutely nobody."
π 3. SALTINEST FOOTBALLER
Winner: JosΓ© Mourinho
Not technically a current player — but frankly, he belongs in the Salties Hall of Fame.
Managers, referees, journalists, opposition players...
Nobody escapes Mourinho's salt shaker. π§⚽
π 4. SALTINEST POLITICIAN

- Saying something outrageous
- Attempting to explain it
- Making everything considerably worse
The Salties Academy applauds. π
π 5. SALTINEST TV PERSONALITY
Winner: Jeremy Clarkson
A man who has somehow turned cars, farming, restaurants and weather into opportunities for complaining.
Mr. Salty:
"A natural talent."
π 6. SALTINEST DRIVER OF THE YEAR
Winner: The person doing 47 km/h in a 60 zone while you're stuck behind them
No name required.
We've all met them.
We've all followed them.
We've all wondered whether they're actually looking for the brake pedal.

π 7. SALTIE FOR BEST INTERNET WARRIOR
Winner: The Facebook Comment Section
Not one person.
All of them.
Someone posts:
“Lovely weather today.”
Three minutes later:
WAR.

π 8. SALTINEST CUSTOMER
Winner: The person who demands to speak to the manager
Special commendation for those who begin the conversation with:

Even though nobody asked. π

No contest.
Aggressive.
Unpredictable.
Territorial.
Completely unreasonable.
Basically a politician with wings.
πͺΏπ§
ππ 10. THE GOLDEN SALTY
WINNER: MR. SALTY
Because let's be honest...
Who else could possibly win?
After years of complaining about cars, drivers, politicians, technology, coffee shops, electric vehicles, ridiculous prices and people who don't indicate...
Mr. Salty finally receives the Golden Salt Shaker. π§π
π€ His acceptance speech:
“I'd like to thank nobody.”
“I'd also like to thank myself for being consistently annoyed throughout the year.”
“It's been a difficult journey, but frankly, there was plenty to complain about.”
“Thank you… and now get off my lawn.”
THE END.
Or, as Mr. Salty would say:
