I think you would have to vote for yourself to be anywhere near for that to happen.

Given the establishment's conspiracy against me, I am doing rather well...

Gotta say, I am leaning towards Baboon here. The rest of you better pick up the rhetoric or we will be under the NK flag all of next year.

I voted for you, if only because I want to get on the bandwagon now and have an invite to the lavish somtam and pepsi victory party you will be throwing when you win.

An excellent choice. Let's stop those other Thaivisa round earthers in their tracks...

 

Wow.  Just found out about this.  Thanks!

 

If selected I promise a free beer for all who voted for me.  Tomorrow, or the next day, or....LOL

Oddly enough, and absolutely true, my beloved cat has gone missing, 5 days now, l fear the worse....

Oh dear, Tranny, you don't suppose another contestant has taken a page from VillageFarang's old POTY playbook and stolen your beloved cat (what is his name), just as VF stole Mr. Bitey during the 2015 POTY contest, holding him prisoner under the control of his drooling golden retriever.  Fortunately, Hubby was able to use the top-notch orienteering and woodsman skills he learned as a member of the top secret BSA organization to save Mr. Bitey from VF's Chiang Rai house, in a field, in a valley with a view.  

 

Can you post a photo of your cat?  Time to get some cat photos into this contest.

So, where is Dr. Naam?

 

@Naam is probably doing something productive.  Like researching his next investment. LOL

A personal attack on a member has been removed. A repeat will result in formal warning.

Everybody has problems, ok mine are worse than most peoples.

Yet i let nothing get in my way, i try doing as much as ii possibly can whenever i can.

 

I grow vegetables/fish/quail/rabbits/bantams/ turkeys, i go shopping,io mill rice for home use and family.

So even though i am paraplegic, i do a hell of a lot more than most able- bodied people.

Some good candidates on that list and one great one. But ladies and gentlemen, ask yourselves who YOU would trust when that phone rings at 2AM with a global emergency...?

If the global emergency was sitting outside with a flat battery and blocking my driveway, you KNOW who I'm gonna call!

I'll admit I haven't read everything Colin has posted, but I don't know anything about personal problems.  He seems like he has a wonderful wife and a strong marriage.  Yes, he has some health problems, but otherwise has his life very much in order.  Everyone should be so lucky.

Question for the mods -- are we able to change our vote the way we could in previous years?

Nancy you are 100% correct about my wife, no man could wish for a better lady to be his partner.

I am truly blessed to have her as my wife, honest/ loyal/ caring lady.

Yes i have a disability but onwards and upwards that is my motto.

Aww, Gold is of the same clan as Mr. Bitey, but he's "pure gold", while Mr. Bitey has white mittens and a mask.  I see that Gold has his very own golden retriever protector, making it a little more difficult for another POTY contestant to steal him.  Hope you can figure out soon which ape stole him. 

Roll tide roll.

No, you can't change it.   The newer version of the software doesn't permit it.
