    It’s really strange Gnats
    (where are the fookin poems
    Oh – I have found the MAZE)
    but you may UNCANNILY have picked the winning order
    with the list directly above.
    I hope to win but not much dishonour with being placed
    third in such a strong field
    and the big, powerful, legendary filly winning it .

    if the playoff is tied a sudden death will take place

    Will the sudden death look anything like this

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.
    Don't mess with mister in between.

    You’re taking advantage Ben.

    I think everyone should post up their poems in here – everyone but Tippi to give us a chance – then keep it virginal with no blurb !

    I see the playoff for sudden death looking more like this Rummy…

    Good idea to post up our poems Gamble but Chezza’s will take up the entire Thread.. :wacko:

    I have voted :good: Not for myself.

    “Chezza’s will take up the entire Thread..”

    This is what Chezza’s up against, being “hated on” (is that the right contemporary expression?) by the other finalists, one of who has already surged into what could prove an unassailable lead!

    Thank goodness there’s no weight-for-gender allowance in this contest – it would be “game over” already if there was!

    But Chezza’s notes she’s got the coveted Trap 7 Chezza was after because Chezza had been up all night doctoring the circuit to ensure the fastest ground was on the outside!

    Vote Chezza for a better world (err, for Chezza)!

    Chezza your certainly not ‘hated’ you’ve brought the Lounge to life and you are funny and self critical and love playing the victim and along with that you’re ultra competitive with a strong will to win just like myself so bring it on.. :yahoo: Jac

    Chezza reckons Triptych is too clever – and perceptive! – by half!

    Chezza’s got a job on here!

    “love playing the victim”

    The lady’s got Chezza bang to rights!

    Chezza’s now off to consult “Chezza’s Bumper Book Of Increasingly-Desperate Tactics When Staring Defeat In The Face” (available in hardback, paperback and on Kindle for just £666) before making Chezza’s next move!

    My Son did the draw fair and square…
    I may have accidently forgot to add Triptych to the cap meaning she automatically got the Trap 7 slot but that’s your fault Ian for being unforgettable … :rose:

    Ouch!

    How rude!

    How hurtful!

    Typical Hughesey behaviour!

    Chezza’s been really poorly lately too!

    And Chezza has had scant sympathy from Chezza’s GP, who attributes Chezza’s upset tummy to a surfeit of Fox’s Ginger Creams.

    Every vote Chezza gets in this Final will make Chezza feel better – Chezza thanks everyone in advance for their support!

    Made me laugh, Jac.

    But this scene is how a real sudden death would look.

    The Crocodile is Chezza, Tarzan is Nathan and you’re Jane (obviously)

    You've got to accentuate the positive.
    Eliminate the negative.
    Latch on to the affirmative.

    “I think everyone should post up their poems in here”

    As opposed to you, gamble, simply looking for them yourself, you mean?

    A process which doesn’t actually require any physical movement whatsoever – just a bit of forum navigation.

    Would gamble like Chezza to pop round, recite Chezza’s poems to gamble and then logon at TRF for gamble and cast gamble’s vote for Chezza on gamble’s behalf?

    Because Chezza’s so desperate for votes Chezza is now considering home visits!

    Vote Chezza – because Chezza knows where you live!

    “Chezza’s poetry’s so great you won’t want to miss it.

    So vote for Chezza or you’re getting a visit!”

    I’d also like to give a mention to the Ghost of Rob with
    “Journey of a Hobnob named Gobjob”. I thought it was worthy
    of a place in the final. It was a little gem. Nice one Rob :good:
