I do indeed (someone has to )

Secondly  thats where the wife lives she would take a dim view of me moving elsewhere

 

Lastly and most importantly  i would miss the dogs!

Like most of us, you have chosen to live in your wife's province;
beautiful province in which we were, my wife and I a fortnight ago.

Like you too, I do not like to leave our house too long, my four dogs and my four cats miss me too much.
I wrote "my" because my wife does not really like them.
They are forbidden in the house;
but when she is not there, I open the doors wide so that they come to sleep at my feet.

I'll nominate you this year Sir

I am indeed blessed ......thank you!

 

And with that thunderous endorsement I will seize the day here on my BKK visit (well after my back eventually loosens up from the hardest hotel bed in Asia  ????

Perhaps a linked site with different software could run a poll where votes can shift with the mood. The forums software is not optimized for the kind of fun we had years ago when the votes would shift back and forth, creating quite a lot of suspense and competitive maneuvering. Surely one of the digital nomads could whack something together.

I do, i saw the true side of some posters/ posers on here after i was P.O.T.Y.

The hatred/ bile, disgusting things a handful of jealous members posted were disgusting.

 

What a shame. These jealous people seem to be the ones who've got a problem, not you.

 

 As already mentioned, a couple of times. 

 

The biggest enemies of foreigners in Thailand are often other foreigners. 

 

A lot of them don't realize that they shoot themselves in their feet.

I don't think the return winners should be eligible. Colin is an automatic win for sure. Not that I don't love Colin, but I would like a bit of suspense.

I'm looking forward to a swimsuit round this year, and an obstacle course.  I can see Colinneil doing a Dukes of Hazzard to take that round.

Will there be a karaoke round this year?  Link your best Youtube cover rendition?

 

Perhaps we could invite each of the sub-fora to propose the nominees.

That is an oxymoron if ever I read one.  An intellectual posting on TV!

That bit only gets discussed after you pass the first round of interviews ...... One step at a time!

[geronimo]

Another idea straight off the press ....

A question is posted and all candidates must answer, and points are awarded for the number of likes their replies get!

[geronimo]

and we could have two classes:   APOTY = amusing poster of the year   IPOTY = Informative poster of the year

 

Just an idea!

[canuckamuck]

I really just want to vote for the guy whose content I enjoyed the most over the year. I mean other than myself

Yes, it should be all about consistency ....

[metempsychotic]

Ah, the poster of the year. 

 

Which desperate soul should we honour this time around. 

 

Tough to follow up on such one line heavyweights as trsnsam or colon Neil or match the lack of human dignity of a Jing thing crying for recognition.

Admittedly, there are some huge egos lining up, and some will stop at nothing to win that coveted crown!

History proves that winning is more of an albatross around the neck than a crown on the head.

Poor buggers.

Very true! There's never a day goes by that doesn't see old Transam rue the day he entered, as he has been plagued with bad luck ever since he put on those pink tights! Even affected his singing I heard!

Not a lot of people know this, but TV admin provides free psychiatric counselling for POTY winners!

Well thanks for that Sipi. I can finally hang up this old analogue microphone that keeps giving me a shock. As I gaze down from the commentary tower, I realise that some other poor unfortunate will be in here, looking down upon me and the other contestants as we struggle to cross the finishing line.

[geronimo]

I nominate Owl .....
