In response to the comments on my previous post, I've added a poll for you to decide whether or not Ray is a sneaky sandbagger. You'll find it at the top of the left hand sidebar.
This is just for fun, and I know Ray will be hoping to get his revenge when he and Fran get round to doing their "Introductions" to the Honorary Rejects.
Edit to Add:
It may not be obvious, but you can select more than one option in this poll.
Well I've voted!
ReplyDeleteSo have I, he could outfit a WW1 trench system!
ReplyDeleteThe answer is obvious isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRay who?
ReplyDeleteless sandbag more Maxi bag of building sand
but always done with a smile.
not enough to stop the Kiwi's this year though
Peace James
I normally stay out of these squabbles... but 40% of the points in the final sprint? Ray, where were you when there was all that flooding?
ReplyDelete@ Ray - you either don't know who you are, agree you're a a sandbagger or admit to being the High Imperial King of Sandbagging ;)
ReplyDelete@ Fran - on both sides of no mans land? ;)
@ Seb - I believe it to be so, but poll participants will have the final say :)
@ James - I think it was actually 2 maxi-bags this year! :)
@ Jim - not so much a squabble as some friendly rib-poking ;)
I think he was probably filling his sandbags in preparation for the Challenge when there was all the flooding
I voted... then changed my vote and I appear to have broken democracy again. if ever I vote and the end result seems to be impossible, like 500 votes to one when only 300 people voted then its my fault.
ReplyDeleteanyway I don't think that its to much of a problem... this is a dictatorship anyway what you say counts on this blog.
I don't care! He's decent enough in Real life and that's good enough for me :)
ReplyDeleteOf course he is... two years in a row!
ReplyDeleteYou really need the option "The Sandbagging Gentleman" given his honourable pointing out of the mistake with his points.
ReplyDeleteHe may be a Sandbagger but he is our Sandbagger ;-)
Ian
@ Gowan - ahhh, so that was you making it go crazy! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a benevolent dictator, and I think ti's clear which way the vote is going! ;)
@ Clint - he is a decent chap, and we love him to bits even though he's a sneaky sandbagger (according to poll results so far)
@ Lee - well, we saw what he did last year, so expected it again this year :)
@ Ian - indeed he is. Unfortunately I can't edit the poll now that people have voted, but that would an excellent category to add if I could. He is most definitely our sandbagger and we know that and love him for it! :)
Sandbagger extraordinaire I say!
ReplyDeleteI voted! Bet you can't guess my vote:)
ReplyDeleteErm...
ReplyDelete...can I just say....
... 950 pts, baby :D
Mais ouis! But he is le sandbaggaire par excellence!
ReplyDeleteMy word! 4 "No" votes? One must presume that they picked that answer because they couldn't conceive of Ray sneaking *lol*
ReplyDelete@ Andrew - indeed, he is Ray
@ Donogh - my translator says that "extraordinaire" isn't French for "sneaky"? ;)
@ Anne - bet I can! ;p
@ MikeW - yes, but your 950 points was submitted long before the end, so wasn't a sandbag. Not to mention the fact that you had posted on your blog that you were painting them up, so people knew they were coming, ergo, they weren't a sandbag.
@ Rosbif - does "par excellence" mean "sneaky"? ;)
While I think he is the king of sandbagging I don't think he is particularly sneaky about it. Everyone knows he is going to come out with damn near a whole 15mm army for the last submission. I think he has learned this from bidding on ebay, you know the person that outbids you by $1 immediately after your bid with 5 seconds left. (I know it's automated but it still pisses me off.)
ReplyDeleteI voted no. There's nothing sneaky about his sandbagging at all...
ReplyDeleteI've altered the end time for the poll as I think it's best it ends quickly.
ReplyDeleteAs for the "no" responses, my fault for how I worded the question - there was nothing sneaky after all as we all expected it.
The much maligned and misunderstood Raymondo – poor lamb! Great idea though Tamsin. :D
ReplyDeleteVoted :-) :-) :-)
