Nowhere

Are you aware that we are neither here nor there? In fact we aren't anywhere!

[NancyL]

Time to ad some excitement to this poll, Bring back Patsycat!!!

No. Thank you. Too tired and knackered and - honestly, JT should win this.

If Mrs. Bitey does or even if she doesn't - she should come out of her shell and look at the other threads and places on here.

Listen to some Music in the Pub, and, obviously, visit For Patsy in Bedders which shall be five years old in January - for all your cat pleasures.

Patsy, what is this "Bedders" forum you're referencing?

I am active in Thai Visa -- just not in the forums where you hang out.

I'm active in the Chiang Mai forum and, from time-to-time in the Visa, General and Health forums.

But mostly, I'm active in Chiang Mai in "real life", which could be either a good or bad thing, depending on your perspective.

Oh you'll be in the Bedlam before long!

[NancyL]

So exactly how is the "Bedlam" forum different from the "Farang Pub" forum?

I can see I need to get busy campaigning on the other forums -- the ones utilized by Very Serious People who also never venture into those forums.

I wonder if UbonJoe would mind if I sneak into the Visa forum with a little appeal? Whatcha think, Jingy? We could hold hands and go in together.

Bedlam not much different than the Farang Pub Nancy. The sub-forum is the last one on the forum index page, down at the bottom:

OH, Nancy please ... Bedlam is just the place for you.

They will love and embrace you there.

Good place to start a thread also.

opps ... I should have said that ...

lannarebirth has shown you the way ...

[Patsycat]

Nancy, you can go through five years of cat vids and photos in Bedlam, on the For Patsy thread.

I can't believe she doesn't know about Bedlam. That is not a person to be POTY. As someone else said, next year they cannot vote unless they are in Bedlam.

A bit like those "posters" that put themselves on for the Thai Visa Booze up and Free Food thingys and only have one post. To never return. I can imagine them hoovering up the food and booze.

[Ulysses G.]

Bedlam is controlled by the Neverdie cult. If you have enjoyed their contributions to this thread, search it out. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague.

Oh, so THAT'S the place to go to watch and post cat videos. I'll have to tell Hubby. He loves 'em.

But you just said you voted for David.

Yes i did, right from the beginning.

But now it seems he is losing a bit. So to choose betwen the two top runners i go for JT.

But my vote was never changed. So i am not going to take my vote for David away and put it elsewhere.

[HooHaa]

harrry, I liked your post a lot.

When I saw a Mod in the Pattaya thread endorsing the Campaigning style, in this case, Jingthing, I reposted your quality words there.

Sadly, this was the reply.

This is a Post from the POTY Thread worth, I believe, reading ...

I am disapointed this year in the way this contest has developed.

In the past it was a way for regular posters to have a little dig at each other and give recognition to the enjoyment some of the posts have given.

The end award was never taken seriously by anyone.

This year it has changed.

It has in the end become a contest by someone who must have the award to add to the collection on the mantlepiece.

It is sad, the award is worth nothing and never has been.

What is priceless it the rapport between people who may never see each other but have become friends in some way through this forum.

The end of an era I guess.

So, referring to an above post (endorsing campaigning ... my addition for relevance) ... IMHO, begging and campaigning is unbecoming.

.

For goodness sake, David why don't you just leave Jingthing alone? You've gone out of your way to bait and antagonize him during the entire campaign -- about his sexual and religious orientation. Yet, when anyone says anything about your personal life you cry foul. You're the good little family man, above reproach. What a hypocrite! If that isn't dirty campaigning, what is it?

Why don't you do what Jingthing and I have done -- go onto your local forum and campaign, remind your friends that you're in a contest and you'd like to win. What's the matter with that? It's not begging, it's not groveling. It's just making them aware there's something going on elsewhere on ThaiVisa in a forum they may not otherwise visit.

Or is it that you don't have a home forum, no place where people appreciate your posts? No place where people think "gee, that David48, really shared some valuable information" I guess not.

Is this the NancyL we have become to know?

It seems the Spirit of the POTY has not touched everyone ...

.

the thing is i had always regarded david 48 with derision, now i regard the lot of you as twunts. how very petty you lot can be and how very unworthy of future attention

Patsy, I know what you mean about the "posters" showing up at the TV piss-ups who had one post count. I remember one in CM at the Olde Bell. The sponsor Pedr was in a real tizzy about all the non-native English speakers who showed up. He said there was no way they could be "genuine" TV posters. Of course his attitude could be explained by the fact that the Olde Bell was suppose to be an English pub and he probably figured all those non-English freeloaders would never come back.

[canuckamuck]

Jingthing has broached the 40% barrier. Exciting times indeed for JT and his camp.

[fletchsmile]

None of the nominates are helping is the VISA section.... for a website called ThaiVISA, where users primary come for VISA, during the biggest VISA crackdown ever known in the country...

If nonsensical was a poll that would be it.

Actually Jingthing and NancyL do post from time-to-time in the VISA section. The heavy lifting in that forum is from the moderators, who are not able to participate in this contest.

I'm not talking of heavy lifting and you know it.

How about empathy? sympathy? emotional support? in this holiday sharing time of the year when dozens of us are being humiliated, treated like criminals and generally refused fair treatment just because rules have changed.

When they do their job to share their experience all they get here is contempt or "I told you treatment" .

Kitsume, have any of the four candidates personally made posts that indicate a less than compassionate attitude to those who have fallen victim to the changes in the the visa rules? I really don't think I have. What about the other three candidates?

My name is KitsuNe with an N

None of you are there, that's all.

It's easier to joke around here and look the other way I guess...

These 2 threads for example, right bang in Christmas time, could not find any of your "compassionate" messages...

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/787392-blocked-at-poi-pet-because-spent-94-days-totally-in-2014/page-2

Dear KisuNe with an N,

As the right honourable Mr.Toad alluded to, I'm not quite sure what moaning about "ED extensions" has to do with this thread. Then again we could say the same about the other 3000+ other posts on here.

Anyway allegedly it's nothing to be ashamed of, but if Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is so important to you, having read one or two posts on here, my money (metaphorically speaking of course) would be on Nancy or JingThing as I think Costa specialises more on goats. I'm sure one of them would be able to give you a helping hand though.

Best wishes

I wonder what happened to The Blether?

Amazon.com

[harrry]

I wonder if UbonJoe would mind if I sneak into the Visa forum with a little appeal? Whatcha think, Jingy? We could hold hands and go in together.

Isn't it strange that someone running for poster of the year doesn't even know her way around the forum. A bit like the chief Mufti running for Archbishop of Cantebery or the Pope.

[Patsycat]

I usually start at the top and make my way down.

With Bedlam at the bottom. Sometimes it takes me a few hours, having to listen to all the good music and get get good tips on movies to watch.

Not really. Bedlam doesn't even appear on the webpage until the BM has 500 posts. If you'd not heard about it there'd be no reason to know it even existed down there.

[Patsycat]

It's bloody easy to find - just roll down... I was taken there through a PM. But otherwise after 500 posts.

Perhaps they should make it a thousand posts, to get rid of the riff raff. That can't roll a bloody mouse, And being a cat person i have rolled lots into paper towels....

Where is it written that the POTY has to have a working knowledge of every forum on Thai Visa? There's something like 98 forums.

I'll be meeting theblether next month.

He is doing fine and sends all this years candidates his festive greetings.

Exactly,...a newbie/';

[Patsycat]

I am an avid reader of everything and nothing everywhere. On lots of fora and newspapers and books etc. I find the internet amazing, I have a sore toe - i have terminal toe cancer etc.

On here, i read about visas, divorces, funny things, kiddy thing, where to stay, medical things, divorces, music, films, cats, dogs, kiddies etc.

Most of those things do not involve my life or where i live.

There was one time i wrote a thread about my cat, Saturna, who died in my arms - the sympathy and well wishes were out of this world from complete strangers.

But a lot of them involve the people that i have got to know over the years on here. I know i probably will never meet them in person. But they have, in a strange way, become a part of my life. And, i think, there is a strange affiliation to these people which i enjoy. And i think that most are in that same think.

We have fun with the music - Jeez, all the music on here could do a ho-down in the Thai Visa Bar. Obviously starting with a wee bit of Wham.
