Au contraire!  Only those who voted for Craig in the Finals got to recast their votes.  Those who voted for Dave in the semi-finals (i.e. the under-appreciated Chiang Mai members) were thrown under the bus and left unable to vote when the powers-that-be decided to award Dave2 an "Honorary POTY".  It's a statue that looks like a dog bone, because that's what they threw at him.

 

The winner of this contest are, at best No. 2, as far as Chiang Mai is concerned.

I take it JT has been banned, so you’re taking over the baton as self-appointed “I’ll-natured pointless grizzler”. For you, unlike JT, it is not a step up

Dec 30th, assuming midnight but Scott needs to clarify. Voting twice was only permitted for those who voted initially for dead Dave.

When an exploding ape is a baboom I very much doubt it.

Monkey.  Baboons are monkeys, they are not like us.  They have tails and shiney earses and bad breath.  OK - in some ways they are not like us

He may just be out looking for that special zirconian and plastic polish for the tiara!   It's hard to find a good quality polish in Pattaya.

He should come to London. It’s full of Polish

Probably more alike than most of us think.   Apes have tails, Thaivisa members have tales.   I am not checking for shiny backsides, but I am sure there are enough and bad breath is kind endemic, although it's been a while since I kissed a real ape!

Perhaps they would be happier in ChiangMaivisa.com.  Chexit could be on the cards.

I hope this clears things up.

 

"Catarrhines are further split into the Old World monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) and theapes (Hominoidea). Of the primates listed, only the baboons are Cercopithecoids; all the others are in the family Hominoidea. Cercopithecoids like baboons have tails that are not prehensile."

I went there once. I was invited into the home of one of the locals who introduced me to his wife and daughter. There was only one woman in the room...

I hear it’s the only province in LOS where you can legally marry your daughter !

So it’s all good [emoji848]

In the Catholic Church, anything is possible.

edit:  No it’s not; a Father can’t marry his daughter as he is legally celibate.  My apologies to anyone that converted on the basis of the above.

One thing worth remembering is that baboons are like in-laws; you rarely get just one.  So we’d have POTY and BoPOTY and MoPTOY and FoPTOY and 1stCoPTOY and ... well, I’m sure you get my drift.  It would be like the temple scene out of Jungle Book, except they’ve probably already got cigarette lighters.  Is that what you want? TV over-run by shiney-earsed baboons setting on yag anything dry enough to burn?

I thought maybe the shiney-earsed baboons setting on yag anything dry enough to burn was worth voting for; but maybe anyone with burning issues to discuss should join pyromaniacs anonymous...

You're confusing hip-hop 'scratching' and pork scratchings.

 

Probably.

 

I could fair go a bag of pork scratchings right now, bytheway

Well we're all entitled to our opinion, but Tom Jones would not have to resort to violence, except in the most extreme of circumstances

Hmmm Motorhead yes for no better reason than a 3 piece had no right to be as loud as they were and Lemmy ( rip ) was one of dying breed of rocksters .. My first liasons with the fairer sex was to the soothing riff that is SQ's" Break the rules " but as it ended badly Quo tunes tend to give me PTSD flashbacks now .. Judas Priest hmmm not sure about that one geez' that Rob Halford is 'erm how do I say a bit camp .. Is he not .? But all is not lost Baboon I'm sure you're library has more to offer .. And though the flock haven't ploughed thru' all of the pages on this gripping POTY thread we understand you are one of the front runners so every 4 toe'd vote counts as they might say ..

Rob Halford camp??? Next you will be arguing that Manowar and the Village People are not the pinnacle of heterosexuality....

Hahaha indeed .. And with a cap like that R H could be a seamless slot in ( sorry sorry unintended ) with the Village People ..

Now I am certainly not wanting to pick fights with the gay readership, but I think the evidence speaks for itself:

Poofters are real men too; that;s the whole point, isn't it?

(I can say 'point' in that context, can't I ?)
