POSTER OF THE YEAR: The Final Round, 2017

[watcharacters]

 

 

Sincerely, does anyone actually care about this?

 

Winning an Academy Award in Hollywood matters in that it means offers of roles that  will  likely be forthcoming.

 

Thai Visa  Poster of the year?    Who cares?   No award and after the fact and  it's all immediately forgotten.    Not even an ambassadorship to promote the site.

 

What gives? 

 

It smacks of post count mania   to me.  Silly stuff, IMHO.

Obviously but who's behind this propaganda intended to meddle with an otherwise wholesome election? 

 

Where's Bob Mueller when we really need him.

But I came out of it and got my fun attitude back....

Sorry, I forgot your freedom to get silly in your advanced years.

How can 256 members vote when TVF only has 253 registered and active members?

I can't believe that the powers-that-be at ThaiVisa managed to turn w---r into <deleted>.

 

I feel your pain Nancy.

"Worker" isn't offensive. 

I was once suspended for calling someone a "chestnut", common foodfare in London.

Shortened to "<deleted>".

Thanks for the post. Every little counts.  You can be proud that, in your own small way, you contributed to the drama and excitement

Trans wants nothing to do with Hollywood. He's not getting on his knees for Weinstein, or anybody else!!

Just wait until you have over 50,000 posts and have come in second place in the POTY contest for ten years in a row.  Someone in this position will utter "POTY" as their dying word just as Orson Welles' character uttered "Rosebud" in Citizen Kane.

I see you are a fellow 6 dotter, and if I were you, I'd stay out of the grass, at least until the voting is over .....

Oh, Jingthing just reacted to a post.  JT, are you OK?  You've been so quiet, I thought maybe Trans was holding you captive or something.  Are you still in shock about your candidate leaving?

This can't be right.  Surely Colinneil's own home province would be voting for him.  

[geronimo]

I often like to let my imagination have a little wander, and visualise posters and their lifestyles.

 

I see JLC as a man of action, and his study would house a fine collection of books. There'd be tickertapes and screens of financial data, whirring away in the background, and he would have at least 7 phone lines, to traders and lawyers mainly, but there are scriptwriters and political lobby partners.

 

I see the furniture as being mahogany or perhaps teak, and it is very rare anyone is allowed into the room, aside from the cleaning staff and IT support. JLC has a fine selection of Havana cigars, that are occasionally lit, when a new venture is acquired, or unloading stock before it falls through the roof.

Remember to cancel everything for next November, as you have to attend the 3 week acclimatisation course in Pitsanulok.

Oh, so much better than my year when the indoctrination course was in Yala.  But, then again, that toughen us up for the battle ahead. This year, it's been rather tame, unless there's a story as to why JT hasn't been posting.

Yes, I recall now, you all had to survive in a rubber plantation for a week with nothing but a loin cloth and a blunt knife.
