If people are not interested and only criticise those that are, why bother commenting on the topic at all ?

It's not like you don't have other choices is it.

I think this is a good suggestion, the moderators should give the official award to the winner's logo.

 

Do we have a list of past winners? Maybe someone can create a new thread for this too.

Why not just let it rest. The number of members that didn't participate in this silly game far out number the members that did. Let it fade into the insignificance it deserves!

How about something modest and discreet, to reflect the character of our POTY heroes ...

I never met a French person at a lost for words. I think if you are clumsy in vocabulary the French government takes you french papers away, and they deport you. Perhaps to  Thailand? LOL

French is a nuanced language that  affects expression in a positive fashion.. 

If interested in how language affects thought , below is an interesting paper on the subject.

I think the management wish we would move on. As has Yinn if you get my drift. This is Thailand not everything is as it seems. 

Huh? 

This isn't really about Yinn. It's about the classic tradition of POTY as a thaivisa.com INSTITUTION. 

 

Yes call it a mental institution if you like. 

 

If the topic doesn't interest you then ignore it. 

 

Any decision on the suggestion in the OP is of course up to the benevolent management of these premises.

Can we have a Stewards Enquiry by an outside standards body ?

Only donkey posters would want that.....????

I remember watching the 2012 Olympics from London with some Thai friends in the pub when Thailand fought China in the boxing final for the gold medal. It was Thailand all the way and the commentary reflected that. At the end the medal went to China- the groans in the pub were unbelievable. I was shocked and dumbfounded in London to boot .....not that any such thing could ever happen here. If I disappear it was nice knowing you....

Are you calling POTY winners horses? 

No not at all it is a turn of phrase. My point is that the lovely Yinn who joined May 26, 2019 was very active for this time - won the POTY and hasn't been seen since. I have no doubt as to the fact that she is Thai and female and very charming. What I have my doubts about is her purpose here and whether she was a real 'punter' as such. However I am a suspicious old fool so no doubt given the absolute integrity of all folk here  in the lovely Land of Smiles these 'suspicions' are unfounded and without any substance. If I had come a close second I would have wanted to think this was a fair and straight race given the prestigious nature of the award and it's long and noble heritage. Just saying.....

 

A steward's enquiry is called for when there is a point of dispute. In horse racing, for example, when two horses appear to be joint winners, the steward has to make the final decision as to which one actually won the race. In your context it would seem that there was a bit of rule breaking going on so the steward was called to give his opinion.
