I have been in the finals for the last three years, and guess who has been there every year "putting the boot in" Trans for some unknown reason....?

 

Yep, JT........

Don't worry Trans, JT is getting his come-uppence. We still have plan B (yes a small sacrifice must be made.) But in the meantime get out the old family album photo's like one of your rivals has, here is one I found of you.

That's pretty good and it gets my respect. But I think we're looking for something a tad different.

How about we ask each of the contestants to describe their three most significant contributions to the Forum, with some it's obvious, with others less so, perhaps their own accounts of their accomplishments will help sway the undecided voters?

1. Got in the finals for the last three years..

 

2. Cut my daily beer intake in half....

Not yet Trans, you're number three, after Craig, you've got some time to work on that which is a good start.

It sounds like number three may be your lucky number!

Will there be a rerun of the second first poll where most nominees did not get a chance with the removal of Dave2 and the loss of a potential 38 votes?

OK, then, I was in the music room in the Grand People's Study House in Pyongyang. The guide was saying that they had any music we could wish to name. "Got any Black Sabbath?" I asked. 'Yes we do', comes the reply. "Got any Motorhead?" 'Yes, we have that too', comes the boast.

 

I look her in the eye and say "....You don't, do you."

 

Well, the look she gave me, ladies and gentlemen... Let's say it was something beyond hate. However I got away with that too...

You are looking for achievements?

Well 4 years ago i was in hospital on a ventilator unable to move, breath, now i am able to get about in a wheelchair/mobility scooter, feed my birds, grow veg etc.

If that is not a MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT, THEN WHAT IS?

 

 

OK sneaky i know, but going for the sympathy votes.

And that's a great one also, except, it doesn't have a lot to do with accomplishments and achievements on TVF, despite the similarities between Pyongyang and parts of TVF admin.

Your many plays for the sympathy vote have not gone unnoticed so well done for that! It's just that we're looking for accomplishments.....well, you know.

It isn't an achievement to go to the DPRK, take the piss and get away with it? Alright, here's another one: Somebody was asking one of the guides about the police. 'We don't have many because there is so little crime' brags the guide. "Aye, but then you've got shag all worth stealing", I come back with, to which she punched me on the arm (and not for the first time).

How many of you lot can say you have been thumped by North Korean women? Eh? Eh?

Indeed that is an achievement and one that would almost certainly win you the top spot in the NK Visa Forum POTY, sadly, however, this is not that. 

 

Perhaps a gentle steer towards the instructions might aid you, we were kinda hoping you might be able to come up with an (three actually) achievement,  accomplishment or significant meaningful contribution (that benefited the forum or its members) you've made to the TVF forum rather than things you've done elsewhere. For example, Naam has helped members with aircon. and financial issues, Nancy with a range of Immigration and retirement-related issues, you know, stuff like that.

Based on how many negative posts have been made here, I'm very reluctant to participate.

Sod all, alas. All that was missing then was a kebab, a frustrated walk home and a puddle of vomit on an icy pavement. And Colin thinks HE deserves the sympathy vote...

How can you deserve a sympathy vote when life has improved so much in the last four years?

 

Mrs Trans deserves the sympathy vote, having to suffer all that singing.

Not to mention him going on and on about his cars, she must know every bit of his old Transam by heart now "... and the manifolds were as shiny as a baby's bum, I know dear"

 

Let's face it; the only way we'll stop him standing again next year is to elect him this year; then we can all get some peace

Per request and with approval from on high, Craig's name has been withdrawn.   I have the names of the 38 people who voted for him, they should try and cast their vote for another candidate and if that does not work, send me a PM and I will manually add it to the count.  

 

Best of luck to the remaining candidates!
