Of course. Apologies, Sir. Then

Nice facial hair too, sir.

vote jingthing, the real thing

[Anthony5]

Yes, it is sad to be on a local forum begging for votes, be it in Chiang Mai or in Pattaya or wherever.

Yet most of the front runners did it. Apparently it works. It is like using negative ads in politics.

UG ... you nailed it with that comment.

In the end ... I just couldn't bring myself to do that.

This 'Campaigning Style' of vote for me, just isn't me.

Yet, it's worked for them ... that's undeniable.

.

I hear rumors that the TVEC will disqualify all candidates that campaigned after the voting started.

Yes it works.

Will we see JT kissing puppy dogs and some social worker wannabe kissing a bottle of wine to generate more votes?

Like politicians kissing babies?

[David48]

The trouble is now, if I don't win ... and that prospect is highly unlikely, anything I pen will be seen as 'Sour Grapes'.

The only time something actually angered me was the nasty comments about my Family and kids from the two current front runners.

I'm immensely proud of MissFarmGirl and the Twin Boys and, when the moment is right, I like to share their photos.

Some Member like the photos ... some Members think ...

Each to their own ... same as I get tired of the Trolls I guess.

Whatever lead I have now which I may or may not maintain, I reckon probably wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been inspired by NancyL to go on my local forum and make a personal appeal for votes.

I was wondering how you gained so many votes so quickly. Now I know. You are a living legend in Pattaya.

Yes a lot of people were wondering....amazing day of voting, this Christmas day.

Fancy two miracles occurring, same day 2014 years apart.

Watch your words, babies is a very sensitive word in this thread.

I had never had the cajones to try a move like that before, but NancyL led the way ... the 'Fine Lady of Substance from the Lanna Land ... now with cajones!'

I thought about trying that on the Visa forum for about two seconds. That would really be too much ... if there is such a thing here.

Agreed, JT. Respects to Nancy. She's the man.

Shame people have to ask for votes.... .

Like monks out on a morning begging for freebies.

Some people have more dignity.

You are a very knowledgeable Member ...

Maybe you could rustle up some support in the farming forum

You've got to remember David. A lot of the old farts here fire blanks....if they fire at all. They couldn't create such wonderful life if they tried.

You post pictures of your children whenever you like. Don't let some old hag put you off.

Some of these people have women partners who's faces were used as molds in the gorilla biscuit factory.

Sad for them.

Keep doing what you do mate. Xxck em

Not so much babies as those who call people who happily share the joy of their babies to the world and are called pervs by 2 candidates can make it a sensitive issue..

SC ... your knowledge of non-mainstream music is second to none. Top Song.

Actually, I was cleaning up the House today and came across my stash of vinyls.

Then remember your story and your clean out ... I couldn't toss them.

Maybe, in the next 5 years, I may have the time to hear that crackle again.

Merry Christmas 'ole Son.

IMO this poster of the year contest is taking too long, it was fun for a while but now it is getting a bit long on the tooth.

and is distracting posters and preventing them from posting such important to all of as questions such as

" why dont they keep sheep in Thailand"

I think it should had ended the first couple of days preferably right after Costas was leading but now since thing are taking so long and the damage is done, I propose we extend it's duration to until Costas is leading again or there is more sheep farming in Thailand . which ever comes first.

Vote Costas more sheep, more goats Opa

I am not a supporter of either of the two front runners (although I do generally believe that both have been valuable posters on ThaiVisa); regardless, I think your repeated claims about how some minimal comments were either nasty or crossed any line have simply been pathetic.

[Mossfinn]

You probably have only one account.

I'm not sure what you mean. What did I do wrong?

Can you really vote more than one time? That not rite, surely.

Look at his post again, but I doubt its intent

Actually, I think Jingthing's appeal for votes on the Pattaya forum is quite well done. Not begging -- just letting people know there's a contest, that he's in the running and introducing himself and reminding them of the posts he's done in the past. Asking for their vote. In marketing they call that "asking for the sale" Nothing the matter with that at all. You can't make a sale if you don't ask for it.

And yes, I had the idea to approach my "hometown" forum to let them know I was in the running and also wanted their vote, or if they didn't want to vote for me, to ask them to vote for Jingthing.

I don't think there is anything negative about doing this -- it's called "appealing to your base". What is negative is dragging down the opposition and Jingthing and I didn't do that with the appeals to our hometown forums.

The other candidates could think about where their "hometowns" are on ThaiVisa -- perhaps it's just the Farang Pub where the contest originated. Fine. I guess their options are limited. But, don't fault Jingy and me for playing our networks.

Neither of us have the cazonies to venture into the Very Important Visa forum to ask for votes. We're both pretty well known there, but we're afraid UbonJoe would unleash the kwai from his avatar to gore us to death.

Nothing David does can be termed as pathetic, he is a gentleman and it shows in all his posts. Always positive, and good nature,

his only downfall is that he is not Greek, but then again, as much as we all might want to, we all cant be Greeks

Vote Costas he is no David

but if you cant vote for Costas, then vote David48

as far as classifying negative comments about ones family or children as minimal, I guess is a function of how much one love his family or Children, You can say what you want about a man, but family and children is a different matter , one that only one who has both can only understand.
