Well this has taken a remarkable turn.

Out of the remaining candidates, we have one who's taking it all far too seriously, one who's exploiting his own kids as a political tool, and one who's simply a tedious buffoon.

I thing Nancy is the obvious choice now. If only because it's funny how uncomfortable she clearly makes some posters.

I would be happy to see NancyL win.

But happier if I win.

Really, it's been so many years, I really want it just the ONE time.

Not greedy ... consider all the years of the tease and letdown.

I understand your criticism but I still think I deserve to win this year.

If that sounds crazy or pathetic, so be it ... irrationality isn't exactly something I have a monopoly on.

After that if I finally win the ONE TIME after SO MANY YEARS ... you won't hear a peep from me again in my favor in any future campaign.

Wouldn't that be lovely?

Do I detect a hint of utter desperation there?

You can detect any tone you like.

I really want to win.

I really think I deserve to win.

ONE TIME.

Not interested in a DYNASTY like ... (deleted).

I should be ashamed of wanting to win?

Why?

I should not be confident that I deserve to win?

Why?

In a real election would you want a candidate that puts on a play act of not wanting to win?

That lacks the SELF CONFIDENCE that they DESERVE to win?

Would you believe him?

Mrs doubtfire hasn't fronted up this evening. She's either:

A) Still trying to finish her evening beverages

Passed out after consuming her evening beverages

C) sharpening her insults after both a & b were completed.

She's knitting for the poor of Chiang Rai!

Thank you Soibiker. That's it exactly, isn't? They came to Thailand to get away from women like me, right?

Only I think some of them have discovered that Thai women have their own techniques for getting their own way. Not the same techniques as women like me and the wives they left behind, but just as effective in the end. Maybe even more devastating.

At least Hubby's still on his first wife and has a pretty good retirement fund remaining.

(well, this should break up the cat fight between David and Jingthing)

Better keep smearing. Can't have a girl in the clubhouse.

When you and your cronies give something a 'funny' nickname, it's a dead giveaway you feel threatened by it.

Who said that winning ThaiVisa Forum poster of the year was like putting lipstick on a pig?

I am not running against NancyL.

She is worthy.

I am worthy.

The voters will decide.

JT ... I applaud your naked honesty ...

Few would be as strong as you.

If the crowning glory of your life, thus far, is to be crowned the POTY of 2014, I say ... man realise your dreams.

Me? I'm just dirty the fridge has no beer left in it.

Priorities, I suppose.

.

Pack it in you two.

Theres a line there to use.......but I might leave it..... Just didn't want you to think I missed it.

You can't say it, you just can't, I forbid it

If you feel so strongly you COULD withdraw and send your votes my way.

Holding my breath now!

I think I deserve to be rich.

Who's going to send me their money?

Funny that you say that, but when I've demanded pay raises in the past, I go in there with confidence that I DESERVE the raise. If you're not, you shouldn't be asking.

My votes for sale, Costa never sent the cheque.

Nancy's back from her tour of lower Sukhumvit and rumour has it she's on the gin. This could get nasty!

Dear Mr JT ... that concept of withdrawal before finishing is a concept that you have fought against tooth and nail since it's been first mentioned.

As a man of principle, you know that would not be the done thing.

We have 4 ... and 4 is determined it shall be.

As for sending votes your way ... I control only one ... but MissFarmGirl maybe persuaded ...

She got a big boost in votes the last time that she allegedly insulted David 48 in a drunken tirade. It might be time to chug down a new bottle and get down and dirty.

Well, I am still on my first wife Nancy, and boy has she got a fine retirement fund to come........

Anyway, thanks to all who have voted for me so far.

I ask you now for your continued support during the PUSH to the FINISH LINE.

No actually, Hubby and I have been in Bangkok the last couple days. I mentioned that. I guess none of you are, or else you would have noticed the all-day Rotary fair in Lumpini Park. Gads, hundreds of 'em and the place was swarmed with people enjoying everything from free food, haircuts, dental work, eye check-ups and glasses plus getting screenings for blood pressure, diabetes, cataracts, glaucoma, etc. Meanwhile, local Rotary clubs from all over the country had displays of their service projects, so it was a great opportunity to go around and network.

(and no ,didn't see anyone getting scammed!)

Anyway, we're back in our hotel room now, wiped and tired, in need of a recommendation for a quick and easy dinner. We just couldn't take another Thai Rotary dinner, which always seems to involve much Karaoke and speeches.

So, where's a good place to go for dinner? We're in lower Sukhimvit?

Well done, JT

Holding my breath now!

Have I died and gone to Heaven?

The observer just published their early poll results. 3% know what they want, 64% are too drunk to vote and the rest are undecided.

Miss Saranair on Soi 17.....don't miss the chu chee prawns.

The curries are good too as is the wingbean salad.

My votes for sale, Costa never sent the cheque.

He's Greek.

What did you expect?

Looks like a 2 pony race now between Mrs Doubtfire and the lovable Rainbowdash

vs

The Big Fight.

Thai Visa

Don't miss it.

Now until 30th December 2014... and no doubt some afters

Cheers

Fletch

The numbers are not adding up...just over 300 votes so far, George, what percentage does that equal in terms of the overall TV membership? Less than 1%?

Either way it's incredibly low.

I think they should add in a 5th option : NONE of the above. Overwhelming favourite with the bookies.

The Kiwi Bar.

The teleprinter whirls away ..... Nancy and Mr. Bitey are off on a walkabout in Nana. More than enough cats there to turn Bitey into suckey!

Nancy for sure

Vote jing thing. I did.

It did nt hurt........much.

concept of withdrawal before finishing

.

If withdrawal before finishing had occurred before conception a number of years ago this thread would not be half as fast moving as the 'Rain' or 'What time is it in Australia' threads of yesteryear.........
