Gentlemen, and ladies, of the forum.
I ask you to cast your vote in this totally unbiased poll, for the prestigious title of 'Oik of the year, 2014."
A difficult choice, I know.....But there has to be a winner.
It could be a very close run thing, so I ask you to consider the options carefully.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers - Phil (If this is in the wrong place....please move it to a more appropriate location, Leon. ;))
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

could someone define an oik?

Look under FSN in the dictionary
According to my "Fraser's Word Derivations" (2011 revision, forward by Stephen Fry) "Oik" is a contraction of "Oooh! I Know". It was originally a public school term for the person in the class whose intelligence put the others to shame; the pupil who constantly hand his hand in the air saying "Oooh! I Know." A swot, if you would.
I think it's quite appropriate. :P
Quote from: Matt of Munslow on 19 December 2014, 05:17:46 PM
could someone define an oik?
from the Oxford English Dictionary: oick, oik (OIk). slang. Etym. obscure. Depreciatory schoolboy word for a member of another school; an unpopular or disliked fellow-pupil. Also gen., an obnoxious or unpleasant person; in weakened senses, a 'nit-wit', a 'clot'. Hence 'oikish a., unpleasant, crude; 'oickman (see quot. 1925).
... and you'd accept a definition from the OED! Pah!
Well according to Fenton you're sitting on the dictionary fsn. At least that's what I presume he means by "look under fsn."

Well we all know Wee Nobby is too small to reach the chair
Have to report there's been a bit of a c**k up regarding the postal votes for this poll, as the ballot papers won't be back from the printers in time to send out.
Not to worry...I'll fill them all in for you, and then sneak them into the ballot box when no-one's looking.
Cheers - Honest Phil.
No you wont, I've called in UN monitors.
IanS
I've given them the wrong address, Ian......So THEY won't be turning up.
I'll use one of the 'labs' as an independent and unbiased monitor.....That should be fair. ;)
Cheers - Phil
This is going to end up as 1513 members of the forum 2,890,674 votes cast
Weeeeeelll.....Something like that Steve. ;)
Cheers - Phil
You're going to have to explain the term "oik" to me. I take it it doesn't stand for Our Innocent Kid?

That's pretty much how it works with political elections so I don't see a problem with extending that to monitors :d

Oh.....That'll mean I get to

Cheers - Phil (Who has one more slightly devious plan.......Who me ??) ;)
Dont tell me - it's as cunning as a fox with a degree in cunning.....

What kind of monitor are we talking about, this:

or this

Both are obsolete by the look of it
THIS:

is NOT a monitor, it's an ironclad. CSS Virginia I think.
Now that's what you call a monitor!

Thought i had commented, my dementia must be getting worse.
FSN have you got any friends/relatives in Asia because the vote has a North Korean flavour.
FSN for Oik of the year
Any comments on the conduct of this poll should be addressed to my manager the impartial organiser, Techno.
Thank you for your support.
I will think of you every time I wear it.

How can you say such a thing ? This is a completely fair and democratic vote................Sort of ;)

It's in the bag, Nobby. Ooops..... better edit that, before anyone spots it.)

Wash it before you put it on, Nobby. I fear some naughty, underhand tricks from some secret agency, opposed to this ballot.
It's probably impregnated with hallucinogenic drugs.
Cheers - The Campaign Manager........(You Oik !......You've
already put it on without washing it, haven't you ?......I've just read 'part 5'.... ;D ;D ;D ;D)

The UNITED does not recognise backwaters like Wales. So your out of luck there !
I would like to know why we have such a low turnout of voters for such an obvious candidate? :-\
It's to do with eligible voters:
Are you a man?
Do you own property?
Are you a criminal?
Are you insane?
Point 4 instantly debarred 90% of the forum population.
Just remember to vote early and vote often

think I can change it so that everyone gets more than one vote, Steve.....
No....I can't.....Just checked.....Pants ! >:(

You may think that - I could not possibly comment. ;)
IanS
Can I vote again please?
Not unless I reset all the votes to zero.....I think, Will.
(Unless anyone who's done a poll before knows different ??)
Just e'mail me, and I'll fill in a load of the postal votes on your behalf. ;) ;D
Cheers - Phil.
You mean the post gets past the Lab's ?
IanS
Yeah....No sweat, Ian.
They haven't learned how to use the key to the postbox yet.
Mind you.....Give them time. :-< X_X
Cheers - Phil
Poll closed.....Just got to fill in count all the postal votes before FSN is declared the winner.
Pleased to see that no-one else got a vote apart from 'Nobby'.
In the interest of complete impartiality, I left the poll open for a split second after I'd added some other names.....Then locked it ! :D
Cheers - Honest Phil (The official, completely unbiased, returning officer.)
So ... Ahem ... what do I win?
I'm on the edge of my seat... :-SS :-SS :-SS :-SS :-SS
"I'm on the edge of my seat..."
Is that what you need to do to win ? . . . Hence Nobby. . .Ahhhh or is that Ughhhhh ;)
Quote from: fsn on 01 January 2015, 04:34:20 PM

That's for me to know.......Wait and see. ;) ;D

Damn I couldnt make up my mind and now the vote is closed....poop
I'm sure Phil can fit your vote on somewhere! :P

OOOOOOH !.......As if. :o
(I'm shocked at the suggestion that I'd do such a thing........I'm on the third recount at the moment, due to Nobby constantly querying the result.)
Cheers - Phil.

Because I didn't give anyone time to actually vote after I added the extras.How strange.....Obviously one of those computer thingy glitches.
