The importance of polls - its all about what the people want

Normally I wouldn't get involved in such pettiness, but I do love the way Shakey keeps rattling the cages of our resident knuckle-draggers.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why only seven people have voted for me so far. Never mind though, it's the first time I've ever become a forum 'thing' so I'm going to enjoy my brief time in the limelight.

nothing nasty about this; its as fair and open as these things can be

I just wanted to a) see what the people wanted and b) see if those affected would respect the democratic will of the people

What - and go against the habit of years? That would be a first!
I note that alongside the expected derisory comments there is the usual "let's drown out debate by submitting reams of pointless posts with photo's to take up even more space" attempt to drown out sensible comments.



Also - I'm highly amused by the way that a resident "knuckle-dragger" describes a majority of posters thus.
Still, life must be difficult without the continued support of [STRIKE]Citizen Smith[/STRIKE] Toastie.

I don't have a problem with either poster.

The thread is quite dreary though. Can't it be sent to discussion time to see if the guys there can breathe new life into it?

I find the Brexit one quite dreary too though. I guess that's what the scroll button is for. People only post on what interests them, Horses for courses. There's been a Scottish thread on this bit of the forum since I joined years ago in one form or another.

I only started the last one since there was a mass boycott of any future Scottish thread threatened. I was massively unpopular even then.. but my Vow to turn it into a thread of unfettered SNP support, cheerleading and Salmond and Saltire pictures didn't work. Since people still posted actual real politics and economics stuff on the new one as well.

Just remembered.. There was a rumoured 10,000 post count automatic lock on threads. People were so keen to shut me up there was actually an eager post countdown to the end going on, like a New Year celebration.

I do like pictures in threads though.
It creates a bit of welcome spacing between Tricky and Jock's self-aggrandizing monologues.

Sometimes I do love the banter :rotfl:

I knew this thread would be good, taking a break from the constant bile.

I'll join in with the picture theme...
