    Chezza’s not exactly thrilled about apparently being drawn in “Coffin Box” Trap 4 with Hughesey on his outside and certain to cut across Chezza at the first bend!

    Regarding the voting rules, are the poets allowed to vote for their own poems or is it prohibited?

    Poets can use the “Chezza system” of voting, yes

    “Poets can use the “Chezza system” of voting, yes”

    What sort of narcissist votes for someone other than themself?

    Chezza wasn’t sure what to do with his spare vote, but Chezza likes Ben, so Ben it was.

    Why thankyou Ian! I just so happened to vote for yourself, but I hate to say it I also voted for your arch nemesis Nathan, I really wanted to see another duel between the two of you!

    Understandable, tbf, “Chezza hates Hughesey!” is big box office.

    It’s like “The Rumble In The Jungle” or “The Thriller in Manila.”

    I just hope it doesn’t end with one of you biting the others ear off!

    Pleased with my tally of one so far. On a hiding to nothing being drawn outside the gamble man so I’ll take any vote I can get, especially given that even I didn’t vote for me.

    “Chezza’s not exactly thrilled about apparently being drawn in “Coffin Box” Trap 4”.

    I’m in the black jacket as well. I can see it now. Slowly away, trouble at first bend, no chance.

    Not the best tactic
    to acquire votes :wacko:

    I think we should stop the voting and present the award
    to Davies. We’ll have a much quieter time if he wins something.

    Since poetic ability seems to be so highly correlated with sound judgement, physical appearance and charm (Ref: Wikipedia), I would vote:

    1. Triptych. Always take note of whatever she says; it is important and good.

    2. Steeplechasing. The new hairstyle especially complements the sharp brain beneath.

    3. Nathan. Much appreciated work ethic has not diminished his desire to help absolutely everybody all the time.

    One or two entrants seem to have been over-trained to allow them to give of their best on the days that matter.

    That’s an interesting finding MV I wish I was as wise as that makes me sound but thank you. :rose:
    Have to agree on Nathan 100% he’s been there for me ever since I joined the Forum and even more enthusiastic about competitions than I am.
    Steeplechasing …well he’s just a Legend and his blog about ‘The Day Red Rum Died’ one of the best I’ve read on here. :rose:

    I know Chezza’s probably busy writing his victory speech 🎊🎈👑 so he won’t be reading this so….. reading back there are at least 7 or 8 in with a chance to be crowned. Great turnout. :good:
    Whatever the result it’s been a fun compy and thanks to Nathan for getting us all together.
    Jac :rose:

    Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...
