blonde poker forum

We need as many votes on here http://www.lyndsey-james.co.uk/2012/12/christmas-giveaway-vote-for-your-winner/ (http://www.lyndsey-james.co.uk/2012/12/christmas-giveaway-vote-for-your-winner/) as possible so that boshi can have a trip up to Loch Ness to sample the fine ales and hunt for the monster.

It's the Benleva Hotel / Loch Ness Brewery one you want to vote for. The Deli Cafe is running away with it at the moment.  ;madasahatstand;

All help most gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Done, I take it he'll be bringing some samples back for us to say thank you :D

Are you suggesting that Kinboshi believes in the existence of the Loch Ness Monster?

You may be hearing from his solicitors

Done. You've got some catching up to do though.

Prove to me that the Loch Ness Monster does not exist!!!
Loads of people have seen it and believe in the Loch Ness monster.

Where is your proof and evidence of your claim that the Loch Ness Monster does not exist

lol

Done

Well that's one way of promoting it Steve :D

If Steve does win, I'll be assisting Lyndsey with the shoot and I know it's difficult to get good shots of beer as it's no good if it goes flat. Then we'll have to pour another and we wouldn't want any to go to waste... :cheers:

Looks like the cafe have been lobbying people to vote for them as well.  Could be close.

The gap is narrowing!

Thanks for all the votes so far folks.

im in!

gopgogoogogo blonde lets get there

In.... Cafe 49% brewery 39% so needs some love

40% to 38% now

Looking at how the results swing from just one vote there aren't many voters in total.

Unfortunately this outside interference appears to have ruined Lyndsey's poll.

Sorry to be a grouch.

Hadn't read this post.

Game on!!!!

Well over 100 votes now.  The voting isn't meant to be fair - it's about getting the most people to vote for you, and in turn spreads the word of the competition and the site.

Looks like blonde's done good so far though :D

Oioiiiiiiiiiiiii 52% vs 31% in our favour. gogogogo Nessie

Lol that was a quick turn around. Let us know if it swings back the other way then I can post it on Facebook and win it for Nessie

Done, make sure you stop by on the way up I know someone who could help disposing of the props....

Steph?

He will be okay for the half pints.

Full pints make him look like a borrower.

LOL It comes in Pints? That will be the Baileys then!

'Comes in pints' always makes me giggle :)

sigh I thought my vote would cause kinboshi to be punished in some way.


meh 26/52/22 atm

 done  :cheers:

I voted for the furniture workshop.

His whole life is one big holiday, why should he have another!?

Yeh well said Dan....

done from laptop iphone and ipad

done , 52% vs 25% vs 23%

btw do we get free beer if we come to one of your poker tourneys  ;dewi;

;)

It's Steve who's up for the free photoshoot not me!

Done. Not exactly sure what I've done, or who for, but done ;)

:D tyty

Done

Thanks for all your help - still in the lead but now the Furniture Workshop is making a late run.  ;grr;

Still time left for those who haven't voted yet....  :cheers:

The furniture company have been lobbying pretty hard on facebook and twitter, so it might be a close finish.

Done, gl

Bad news guys, slipped back into second place now...

Need herbie to get it on facebook.

Got less than an hour before voting closes, and the furniture place has a lead of 5%.

It's pretty much neck and neck now!  Someone posted something on facebook?

Gained a few votes overnight from the Vegas Craft Beer scene, and the Visit Loch Ness folks have come on board. All about timing for that final push...  ;)

Only half an hour ago you were 20 votes or so down.  Now it's tied! Looks like a big push from both of you before 11 o'clock.  It's like a sprint finish at the end of a marathon!

Re posted on Facebook. Gonna be close. Come on blonde we should be able to do this

This is more exciting than deadlock on x-factor....

In the lead after my vote

:D

That could be the one that makes all the difference! Thanks.  ;D

Don't know what its all about but if it means we can feed boshi to nessie all is good ,-)

Thank you all for your help. Awaiting the judge's verdict now...

 ;yippee;

Congratulations!

Wiiiii. Late surge in last hour

 ;applause;

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, we won by a nose! Go on Nessie.

wpwp Congrats

So what was the prize? Was not actually a holiday for Dan was it?

Prize is a free photo-shoot for Steve's business, at which I will be 'assisting'...

:cheers:

sounds cool. Pleased he won

Sounds like a bit of chip dumping to me
;)

No chip-dumping, but definitely some messages sent at the table to influence decisions ;)

So, Boshi is on his way today, could be arriving any time.

I've got all my Maggie Thatcher posters on the wall, plenty of Bibles in his room, stocked up on the alcohol-free beer, is there anything I've forgotten to make him feel right at home?

 rotflmfao  He's currently a mahooooosive fan of Texas Republican Joe Barton.  Honest.

Couple of Man U posters, maybe some of his heros like Giggs or Rooney would help :D

A few saltaires hanging around just incase he forgets where he is,

and a crucifix over the bed

You could get him his favourite DVD.

Well, he's arrived, but headed off to bed early doors. Southern Softies can't hack the pace.
Or perhaps he just had to get upstairs early to get his evening prayers in on time.  ;whistle;

Can confirm that Loch Ness beer is top notch and contains alcohol. Steve runs a great pub and hotel, really friendly place set in beautiful surroundings.

Haggis pizza, a selection of real ales brewed on site, Loch Ness a stone's throw away.

Unfortunately, no posters of BaronNESS Thatcher on the walls, and no bedside bible. But you can't have everything...

If only there was a rate my pizza thread...

Pizza looks deece tbf.

Well, he came up specially for the anniversary, yet he claims to be a non-believer. Hmmmm.

Yoy are aware what is in haggis, right?

He DEFINITELY doesn't know what was in his haggis....  ;)

Haggis is the same as eating sausage ldo.

ffs if you said you was having haggis i would of popped over

Full report of the weekend to follow, but for now all I can say is that we had a great time, the beer is fantastic as is the hotel, and Steve is a great host.  We'll definitely be going back later in the year.

Just cracking open a bottle of curry-flavoured beer to start my Friday evening:

Keep the gloating to a minimum please Kin. I'm suffering enough as it is.

Haha, will do!
