[SoiBiker]

I voted already, thanks.

so you wont answer? not very important then?

I don't understand why you're asking the question. There isn't anyone I was hoping to vote for who's not on the list.

[David48]

Jingthing ... you must be missing all this.

Come back and comment ... we need your insightful input ...

.

[SoiBiker]

No more talking about kids or pictures of the same ilk please on this thread.

Yes yhey are adorable but let's get to grips with the Rotary Club and David's inability to grow carrots.

Where is the late run going to come from?

I say vote Todd Weston

....he will still be able to give a speech inebriated!

Well, I was planning a late run, but then you left me out of the list despite being nominated...

You have my sympathies SoiBiker.

An oversight on my pwan...did the list while I was in the lounge at Amman....the free bar may have played its part.....

A booze-related incident. Oh well. It's hardly the first time that's happened to me.

I could have been a contender, if it wasn't for the drink...

[smokie36]

Who is authorized to name the nominees.

Seems like it just one of the little cliques on this forum nominating each other, mostly being on the general forum.

What about :-...

I could name many more.

Neeranam ... there was a thread running ... thaivisa-poster-of-the-year-2014-nominations ... went for 23 pages.

The names were taken from them ... nothing nefarious.

As for being Cliques on the General Forum ... not really.

Most of my time is split between the Farming Forum and the Australian side of the Visa Forum, plus some time down at the Pub and the Pet Forum ... maybe our paths don't cross often.

Don't give smokie36 a hard time ... he does his best under difficult circumstances.

.

Nah give me the hard time.

I have broad shoulders and beer tokens aplenty.

I can take it.

I don't understand why you're asking the question. There isn't anyone I was hoping to vote for who's not on the list.

so why complain? your candidate was included.

[neverdie]

THANKYOU Sir, kind words. I would of commented a bit earlier but I took at tumble today and ended up in the hospital again.

On the upside, my vote tally doubled today!

Neverdie:

I was worried about you.

You very funny man, very funny man. Keep posting every 10 minutes so I know you're OK, all right?)

All my love,

Gecko

Geks,

Ur a good man, don't worry about me. I'm as old as the hills and getting sillier by each day.

[krisb]

Yeah I read that the airst time. It doesn't really address my point.

SB ... I understand your point ... just don't know how to explain it any differently ... apologies.

I get that poll numbers are limited. What i don't get is arbitrarily ignoring some people's nominations without explanation or apology.

Streuth!

I didn't until just now, realise someones actually taking this seriously!

I vote Soibiker!

[smokie36]

20 is the maximum number of choices....oh and I just remembered the golden rule of my regime.

My decision is final.

[neverdie]

Nobody seems to be takin any notice of wot I'm saying. Makes it hard be is there's no one to remind me of what I was in about.

Cripes 55555

You've misunderstood. But don't worry. It's been dealt with now.

You must be related to mrs neverdie. She says exactly the same thing.

[Gecko123]

I don't know Nancy L from Nancy Sinatra, but am wondering if her comments would be turned into a character issue if she was a man? Is a double-standard being applied here?

I also don't think labelling Costas "a frivolous poster" is fair either. He has contributed enormously to the spirit and sense of comraderie and community on TVF, the value of which should not be discounted at all.

He's contributed enormously to the sense of there being a closed clique with their own shared in jokes and references, treating the forum like their little clubhouse whilst making anyone they don't like feel unwelcome. I wouldn't call that community.

SoiBiker:

I understand the perception of a TVF clique, but I think Costas has a very inclusive disposition, and I've never gotten an, 'I'm in the in crowd, and you're not' vibe from him.

In fact, quite the opposite.

[AYJAYDEE]

You've misunderstood. But don't worry. It's been dealt with now.

nice dodge

[Neeranam]

Who is frollywolly?

NancyL?

Ah nevermind - best of luck to all nominees, I voted for a woman whose name I can't be bothered spelling.

Merry xmas to all too, don't get too drunk.

Seriously I couldn't give a rats arse.

Sanook wise. Vote for neverdie.

I promise nothing and will give an unlimited supply of it !

Edit: (thought gorilla biscuits was the name of an actual biscuit; come to find out its the name of a punk-rock band. whoops!)

[AYJAYDEE]

He constantly participates in the in jokes the clique spread across the forum, then refuse to explain even when directly asked. That's exclusive behaviour.

[mrtoad]

Amazing that people are getting so upset about it, does it in the grand scheme of things really matter?

This has in the past been a bit of a laugh, last night it turned nasty and now the usual whingers are out moaning, about the nominations not being fair. Really couldn't make it up

Agreed, there are a few posters that I would have considered voting for like RGS or Soutpeel, but they weren't nominated. I'm sure they don't give a toss either.

Your mates got nominated, so everything's fine. This is your forum, after all...

Firstly, it's certainly not my forum.

Secondly, my mates?

There are lots and lots of people on this forum who are good posters, that haven't been nominated - I'm sure they are deeply hurt that they haven't receive a nomination.

If you think that several people that have been nominated because of me, then you're sadly mistaken. A fe of my "mates" certainly haven't been nominated. You seem to be really upset about this for some reason.

I am sure smokie will let you play, as he's a nice guy and wouldn't want to see you sat alone crying on a food court table.

He'll be happy now, was getting worried that Soi Bikey was going to attack you with his umbrella

I woke this morning with 4 votes, now I have 16.

I've nearly got a woody ! Nearly !

Reminds me of a song I once knew, it was played to the tune 'thankgod I'm a country boy'.

Starts off ;

"Woke up this mornin with a roaring great phat,

Head on my dik big enuf to wear a hat"

Then there were other words and the chorus went,

"Cows are fun to phuck because you don't have to kiss em,

Thankgod I'm a cuntry boy "

I can't remember the rest but I'm fairly sure I couldn't post em ere if I did !

Gotta keep the mod & modettes happy

[ATF]

SB you haven't been included because no one nominated you.
