nor me gl. i read that somewhere

[Nicola]

Ever peeled a yam? They smell exactly like that. Unless mine was off. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten it. I nearly didn't when it reminded me of that.

[Patti (baconater)]

Hehehe! Thanks Nicola!

I thought I'd killed the thread!

i probably shouldn't hit post now."

Wouldn't that depend upon whether the male has fertilised them or not?

[David]

Are votes still coming in?

[Patti (baconater)]

4way tie for first now.

[Philip (sarah)]

Decision made (finally).

[David]

Ooo! Has that put one out in front, or caused a 5 way tie?

[Nicola]

Voted! Still all tied up?

[Marc]

13 votes cast is a tad disappointing. Almost as many votes as entries. I spent all of oooh easily 10 minutes composing mine :-)

Congratulations to the Poet Lolaureate who won

[B J]

Well done whoever won. In fact, well done all entrants. I rather thought that this theme might generate more interest, but the members of this group clearly have such delicate sensibilities that the topic was beneath their consideration.
Thanks for the chuckles, you brave entrants.

[David]

Thanks Marc and BJ. I admit to using the power of Manilow.

And thanks to all those who voted; it is so satisfying to win with such a huge margin. ;~)

[B J]

Well, David, you received 50% more votes than any other - so it was a huge margin!

[David]

Those percentages eh? They can be so misleading.

[David]

My vote went to: The 23rd Annual 'Is Reading Better Than Sex?' Conference.

[Jud]

You get to pick the next theme David, PM it to me for next Wednesday.


You should also supply the lovely Ignite with your email address so she can send you your amazon voucher

[David]

Ok, Jud. That's the hard bit: theme, not sending email.

[Jud]

Well you have just under a week to think on it. PLenty of time for inspiration to strike

[Patti (baconater)]

Congrats David!

[Jonathan]

Well done, David! And thanks for voting for mine - the conference one!

What a shame so few voted. Perhaps we should give a voucher to the voters too to attract more interest ;)

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah, 60 views and so few votes is just pathetic.

Perhaps I should offer cookies.

[David]

Thanks Patti and Jonathan. Still don't know who the Manilow fans are.

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

Congrats David - I voted for you, again :)
Mine was how do I love thee - yay second equal!!
It's a shame we don't get more voters though

[David]

Thanks Rosemary, my writing obviously draws you in ;~)

The last couple did get more voters, but I think Simon PM'd the group.

I'll admit to being a vote for Manilow. Can't resist a cheesy little number.

Was that a bad choice of adjective given the theme?

[David]

*coughs into clenched fist*

Not at all Nicola.

Thanks for the vote; just one closet Manilow fan to find :D

[Philip (sarah)]

Congratulations David!

[David]

Congratulations David.

[David]

Thank you, both :D

[Kath]

Voucher on the way David - congrats! :)

My anti-virus defences would only zap them or are you talking about cookie cookies? :)

[R.M.F.]

And congrats to David as well.

[David]

Thanks. Haven't a clue yet for the next theme :~/

[M.T.]

I didn't vote. Not because I didn't mean to but because it was too hard to do straight away, the quality was very high. Then the last two weeks just disappeared into some kind of black hole and The next thing I know, David has won - nice one David - and I don't know where they've gone.

Cheers
