As you may realise, I actually was a choir boy......

OMG Trans......

Where was that? In a place called Bendover or similar?

 

Hard to imagine you as a sweet little choirboy and I'll say nothing about why you might sing a few octaves higher than some do.

 

 

[WhamBam]

You're old enough to kill but not for voting......

 

In this day and age this song seems appropriate.

 

 

[Jingthing]

I love me the smell of some transam in the morning!

As the very unofficial transam campaign "man-a-jerk"TM I'm here to provide the excellent soundtrack leading to the inevitable transam victory tour:

 

 

 

 

[WhamBam]

I cannot shake the feeling that someone is agitating against Trans

I see what you're doing. You're helping pound the nails in his coffin.

 

It's time for Trans to pull out his V8 porn and forget about the crooning.

There is no such thing as bad publicity!

 

Join us on the transam transportation.

It's a car.

Go transam. Down the road. In a car. You won't regret it. Believe me!

Your interference in Craigs campaign worked wonders.

Damned by faint praise, no doubt. Here's a car Transam might be seen in:

 

 

 

True story.  1975 I've got $2,800 in my bank account. Shelby GT 500 428 Cobra etc for sale for $2,800. I passed. Needed some work but I doubt I would have lived to see the finished product.

So while you guys were producing page after page of riveting commentary I guess I was out wasting my time on a hike in the midday sun.

I need no advice from you or your last years side kick.....I am NOT going to post on forums asking for votes as you did, this years organiser will NOT stab me in the back to help another win.....In fact I lost by I think 6 votes.

 

As for my music vids etc, if you spent as much time as I do on TVF you will see I do it all year round, that's what I do. You see I am not a boring ol' fart, l just try and bring a bit of fun to the forum, perhaps that's why l an being recognised again this year.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest you go have a Sherry and relax, smile, anifink...

 

 

Well, what a nice, kind response.  Right up there with VF calling me learning disabled for when I asked when voting for this round of the contest ends.

 

FYI, I am a year round poster on TV, just not in the subforums where you hangout.  There's nothing the matter in campaigning in your hometown forum -- the Chiang Mai forum, where you slip in from time-to-time despite knowing little about Chiang Mai.  If you check out the health and visa forums, you'll see that I'm active year round.  I see Thai Visa as a forum for helping fellow expats, not a place to show off our karaoke skills.  That's what Facebook is for!

 

Incidentally, I was a gracious loser to JT in 2014 (what a nasty contest) and appreciated his support last year.  

 

I find it interesting that this year's two top runners have both insulted me.  What's to be gained in that?

That's probably the funniest thing you have said all year.

 

I know you don't know why so you'll just have to trust me.

 

Irony always leaves me grinning.

 Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the longest farang in Thailand of them all -- except for some decrepit ex-GI in Udon Thai who hasn't left Thailand since the war?

BTW as Noel Coward put it: Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun.

Thanks for keeping me up to date.  Here I was thinking I was in second place.  So how long have you been running this little dog and pony show of yours?  By my count you have been following me around for nearly three years.  Doesn’t it ever get tiring?

Some people are put-down junkies -- unless they get their put-down fix for the day, they have withdrawal symptoms.

He follows lots of people around, it appears a lot like hero worship, either that or tall poppy syndrome.

I don’t think you are learning disabled or mentally deficient Nancy, I think you are just a bit lazy, entitled and feel everyone should kiss your ring and be generally more deferential. I am sorry but that just doesn't work for me.

I will defer to your expertise on put-down junkies.

[chiang mai]

I think the top four or five were somewhat predictable, there's no surprises there and pretty much any of them deserve to win - the following rounds may however prove interesting and I would look for a troll driven upset/attack, pretty much along the Brexit/Trump lines, we don't care who wins sort of thing, as long as the right person doesn't.

 

You heard it here first.

[Jingthing]

Three strikes and you're outta your mind ...

 

with WINNING!

 

 

1 -  Brexit

2 - trump

3 - transam

 

Now for a really "great" song dedicated to all of us on the transam transportation!

Ladies and Gentlemen, your attention please!

 

Pray take this post as fair warning that first-round polling will close at 5PM (Thai) on Wednesday 21st December 2016.

Thank you -- it is my metier especially poking holes in the overly pompous self-satisfied self-congratulatory.

 

From the screenplay for The Sting:

 

Johnny Hooker: I gave him the breakout just like you said.
Henry Gondorff: And?
Johnny Hooker: 'S good. He threatened to kill me.
Henry Gondorff: Hell, kid, they don't do that, you know you're not getting to 'em.

But have you rescued a kitten yet or not?

[geronimo]

This year is shaping up to be similar to the 2014 bloodbath contest, in which a cat was kidnapped and several members were severely mauled!

You confuse sensitivity with bewilderment that anyone might think being number two in a contest of how many, a 50k+ membership, represents loosing - I suppose it's all a matter of perspective (and other things we probably shouldn't discuss in public).
