To heck with Liverpool and Gerry and the Pacemakers. Rodgers & Hammerstein were just a couple of New Yorkers -- Original Broadway show of Carousel 1945 -- movie version in 1956 

 

I notice JLC has only got seven dots under his name, wonder how he lost one?

It's the accolade they all want. The T-shirt is merely a token.

If you've never tasted fame, you would have no idea how it feels when people approach you and ask if you are the POTY guy! Of course, one can just shrug one's shoulders and carry on, but most of the winners kind of wallow in the gratification process until there is nothing left to milk!

You seem to be the only one having a good time during this poll.  You should be a candidate.  Why don't you take over VF's spot?  You'd have a better chance of winning.

And some, like JT and Nancy, see it as a stepping stone to greater things!

I am merely a reporter and besides, who is going to vote for someone with only 6 dots?

While I don't deny the obvious enjoyment, I am far too under qualified to even consider such responsibility. 

Can I start a 2017 POTY thread?

This one is dragging on.

I think you'd have to clash swords with Ron, the dot remover!!!!

Is there any way of finding out what happened to the missing dots? Or why they were taken away?

Applying influence gets you nowhere in Thailand, you should know that Trans!

Round two will see a new level of deceit campaigning, and expect serious lobbying in the minor forums like gardening and farming.

Traditionally, this is the time of year for hundreds of newbie enrollments, and the strange thing is, they are never heard of again after they voted.

Yep, I have pics of me in Wellies singing.......

 

 

For me, VF stands out because his posts are never focused on the good he does, more on the positive aspects of life. That, to me, is a winning philosophy.

Have you considered singing your acceptance speech? I think it might pay dividends.

If Trans wins this year and gets knocked out of future contests it will make next years interesting.

Whether T wins, very much depends on how he conducts himself in the second section. It gets a little more sophisticated from there on in, and that might lose our man!

Besides, I doubt if Trans would have the time to attend the many functions that the winner would be required to be seen at.
