geronimo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 May the best man win and I would like to say how refreshing it is to see that no candidates fell into the baiting trap that was cunningly set. The next round is far more serious, as it involves personal security and asset protection, and I hope that there are no casualties this year.

NancyL Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 OK, I'll start off with the first qualifying question. OK, Hubby has taken me to Borneo to do Rotary projects with the local indigenous population for Christmas. (after I stepped of the airplane and realized what he'd organized for a holiday, I said I'd really rather have just had a vacuum cleaner) Anyway, as we go to these little villages, I've noticed that the dogs and cats are really, really in bad shape. There's something to be said about the Thai culture of allowing stray animals to live at the wats where the monks take care of them. So, here's my question for the lucky 5 -- tell us about the animals in your household and your efforts to improve the lot of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If any of you have itchy fingers, I would seriously advise you to wait before you vote, as the true nature of the remaining 5 has yet to be revealed. Sorry Nancy! I didn't realise you were the reigning holder. Obviously, you will have to hand over the crown to the new winner, and I am sure VF will post a map to make the journey a liitle easier (he is such a thoughtful guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guesthouse is so happy he has announced free lodgings for a whole year (this year only) Naam is happy, but then he's always happy, and who wouldn't be if they needed a map to find the bathroom Nongkhai kid is so confident of success that he has invited baboon to share the spoils Village Farang has not changed his program, he still tirelessly tries to improve the lives of all around him Transam is not bothered either way, as he has everything he needs, and more besides.

chiang mai Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Ron - I like the idea that the results cannot be viewed before voting, that's a really good idea. Maybe consider not posting status of the votes so that many people will be voting somewhat blind. Edited December 21, 2016 by chiang mai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
