I would like to call upon all those level headed chaps that are viewing this. Take a moment and consider who has consistently brightened up our days in general by starting thought provoking threads that are like a breath of fresh air. David is your man.

JT:

Would you prefer to go by the title 'Poll Lord' or 'Lord Pole'?

And will this position be management or staff or missionary?

What a cluster F&^% this turned out to be.....

If this were a country election, and no one had more than 50% there would be a runoff with the top 2

AND

all voting starts from zero

What now if the " chosen one " comes in 2nd, do we reduce it to the top vote getter and revote with that candidate starting with all the previous vote cast because he beat all others... ??????

I have given JT quite some stick in the past

I don't know Nancy

David, I believe to be a good guy, but I don't think he can win from here

Costas has shown himself to be a statesman of late

JT, because of the stick I have given you in the past, and I really believe you want it so bad, I will bring the remanant's of my Normandy command to your support.

But please stop whinging, it is yours to take

I should have run myself...I know it now but High Noon is already approaching.....

Poll Lords shouldn't be eligible.

Maybe next year when you are no longer Poll Lord.

Haha we'll see.

Didn't you hear? The management wants to take this over.

Don't argue with me Jingthing...I am posting from ThaiVisa's command centre.

Now I better hit the red button for more beer....

JT:

Do you prefer to go by the name 'Poll Lord' or 'Lord Pole'?

And will your position be management or staff?

Poll Lord.

If the management ends up not taking this over, I want to become new Poll Lord and after that of course, I will no longer be eligible to be in the contest.

If not me, others who REALLY want to do it (and are COMPETENT) would be welcome to challenge for the honor.

Anyone? I didn't think so.

But see no logical reason that Smokie gets it for life.

He does have a point you know.

He does indeed.

Something to consider by the NEW Poll Lord for NEXT YEAR, when the precise rules and schedule of elections can be set from the START.

I have a feeling this will be the last year.

Hey ... breaking news.

These past 48 hours, I've collected 1 more vote.

Sir, or Lassie, you truly are a wise and discerning member, and I warmly appreciate your Vote.

Gentlemen ... I have momentum again.

Jingthing, current Poll Leader ... I now have you in my sights ... I'll be coming from behind you.

! ! ! ! ! Ooooohh the party has already started....! ! ! ! !

<sigh> I only run it as its obvious I would tank it every year.

That would be a shame. I really am confident I can do the best job ever in the role as Poll Lord. If management doesn't take over, you should give me a chance to PROVE IT.

Don't you have some soiled nappies to change?

Where this all falls down JT (as was found out here in local politics last year), is you can't publish the ongoing results of an election until the election is over.

In other words, even if you win on e-paper, you stand a snowballs chance in mexico of ever wearing your crown as it will be tied up in the courts and annulled. Sorry to bust your lil bubble tea.

Ooooo the bitch is back!

Hey ... just a passing thought ... in the Spirit of Fun.

Who ever takes the cake ... there will be a Winner, and a First Lady, or, in NancyL's case a First Man.

I've seen Mrs Costas and apart from the fact she needs glasses ... what a lovely Lassie she seems.

We've seen Mr Nancy, and a fine Laddie he seems.

Many have seen, some have met, MissFarmGirl.

I suppose, by default, that just leaves a few other candidates to reveal his/her Partner.

If he does then his experience here will stand him in good stead.

Watch out for the forum advertising rates to skyrocket...... what with all the posting frenzy and the amount of posts just made in the past couple hours..... No way will the follow up thread for next year be cancelled...... this has got to be an all time high post count in the shortest time.....

More posts have probably been made in the past hour than the other forum had in the last month.

That would be fine if only COMPETENT members are allowed. You don't want a joke candidate to run in that kind of thing ... the type that doesn't even understand the basic mechanics of polls and elections.

Nope he can nick a baht bus to Bangkok and I will serve him his three pork carnitas tacos and a paper crown.

I might even throw in a jug of sangria.

If he wins that is.....

It's the way of the world JT, joke candidates often get elected to run much more important things.

JT the two of us shall discuss this matter by PM next week.

You have my word on that.

Your personal baiting doesn't interest me. Just give it up.

You won last year based on the baby pictures.

Sorry the show has gone stale.

Smokie

I really think you missed your calling.

Have you considered submitting your application to the AEC ? You know the AEC travel abroad to organise elections all around the world.

The best of the best.

Anyone want to see some more media of the boys?

A few likes will indicate that.

Naysayers ... you have your dark corner ... just stay silent and your wish shall be fulfilled.

That's fine. I have no problem with the management taking over if they want. Not that they would care what I think about that ... they trump all ... I know my place even if I become Poll Lord.

I'm already fielding calls from the Angolan electoral commission....apparently I might see zebras!

Maybe like NancyL implied, you might want to ask their ADULT SELVES if they would have liked to be EXPLOITED in this fashion?

Nah ... changed my mind.

Enough damage done.

I've seen the needle and the damage done.

A little part of it in everyone.
