Of course the problem with entrants voting on the competition is that they'll vote for their own entry and the weakest in all the other matches - not me, of course, who am a veritable paragon of impartiality, but the rest of you unprincipled blackguards - which is the only possible reason why my entry went out in the last round. Now, if you don't mind I'll have to go and collect my toys, which somehow seem to have got scattered around, and put them back in my perambulator where I keep them. The I'm going to go and have a long sulk, I mean soak. :eusa-snooty:

I voted for the ones I thought were the best and have done so throughout. Your taste simply doesn't match up with that of the majority of voters.

Never mind, Mongo. One of my efforts is being trounced in this round! You still did well to have gotten through to the last round, and not everybody has a devious mind like yours, or even thought to vote for the weaker posts ...
I would positively hate the idea of my effort being voted for because it was weaker! :naughty:

 

[MongoGutman]

I'm going to give up on irony... I mean, I've learnt to make allowances for Americans but when it sails over the head of a Brit you know you're flagellating a deceased equine.

 

[Batty]

Mongo! What is irony? I haven't got anything that is even remotely iron like about me ... :whistle:



edited - because I wanted to!

So Slayer, Modern Romance and Pip's Having a Baby all qualify for the semi-finals. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Bedtime and Hard Decisions will now go into a sudden-death PK shoot-out in the Broken Drum. :dance: :dance:

PK? what's PK?

 

[poohcarrot]

PK is penalty kick, ie; sudden death end to a game of foot-the-ball if the scores are level.

But I couldn't be bothered to write penalty kick, because PK is shorter than penalty kick, and I would have thought that everybody knew that PK meant penalty kick.

So next time I won't write PK, but penalty kick, so as to save me from writing penalty kick 6 times.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Only if you're a footy fan, which I'm definitely not.
