It wasn't possible to prevent an individual dropping a lighted match when one had 5000 acres to watch 24/7.
Simple to throw a lighted match and then disappear. Anyone scratching around in the ashes later would obviously deny having started the fire.
I take it you were being facetious?
A lighted match you NOW say
Yes I agree it is simple to discard a lighted match and then do one, I suppose they came back for the bag of field mice later

I lived in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and Malawi for 20 years. The first time I came to Thailand it immediately struck me how hard working and enterprising Thai people are compared to Zimbabweans or Zambians or Malawians. I had never seen a little kitchen built onto the side of a small motorbike before. There are many other examples of ingenuity and industriousness here compared to Africa. There I saw far more laziness than here. Africans are very quick to ask for aid but slow to address their fundamental problems. There are plenty of lazy people in my home country - UK. They simply rely on benefits generated from the remuneration of others that do work.
I don't think Thais are lazy.
On the issue of burning, Africans would set fire to fallow land in the dry season so that after it had burnt clean, they could find the nests of field mice and dig them out to cook and eat. I wouldn't mind but this used to happen on the farmland I managed and invariably got out of control. Hundress of acres sometimes got burnt so someone could get a bag of mice.
Glad to see you kept on top of things while you were the manager

Glad someone said it. Also gets rid of the snakes scorpions and other critters hiding in the cane makes it safer for the cutters. Been done for generations cant see the method changing anytime soon burning plastic rubber and all that other nasty shit I have a problem with but when you live in the jungle with zero waste management services I guess you have no choice.
You always have a choice, but just make sure its your turn to have use of the family brain cell

The doctor told me I am far too happy and my work rate is too high, so I'm working on being a little more gloomy and lightening up with the work. I am told that will get me my 2 dots back.
Not if I have got anything to do with it it wont, far too easy nose to the grindstone is the only way forward

I have had one consultation and opinion, but I am going for a second as I did not like the first

I assure you I am very happy not to be caught up in what happens to the final two. I am far enough behind to have dropped from view and don't have to deal with the insults and accusations. I keep track of who likes my posts and makes positive comments throughout the year and I feel confident my 58 votes are real. That is good enough for me.
In the midst of all this mayhem and madness a sound philosophy

I don't think Transam has enough friends to form duplicate accounts, and he isn't bright enough to make a heap of accounts himself.

Naam and T.A. have common Ground. "AIR..". One Bangs on about Air in Tires and the other about Air Con. Getting stupid is this time delay , leave it much longer and Mr Bitey will win.
You might be better off substituting AIR for WIND

Looking at the final results for last year. I have received more than twice as many votes, which I am very happy with. I think we will see this year's winner get more votes than last year's winner. The results show that you don't have to go negative or manipulate the system to get participation and bring out the vote. I think this has been a good competition and there shouldn't be any hard feelings regardless of who wins.
No change there then, nowhere last year, same same this year, consistent if nothing else, nothing personal just an observation
As always the devil is in the details
An excellent increase in your voter base a percentage of the popular vote there I think, just reward for the photos
Maybe its the poll itself that brings out the worst in us , well some of us, some will always stand tall ready to be counted
You might FINK this has been a good competition / a bit of not so light relief but not everyone seems to agree with you, for whatever reason / reasons
I still have high hopes for my man though not very musical myself so wont be joining in the sing - song at the end whoever wins
To end on a more serious note, I am fully expecting my black dot collection to show a marked improvement as in amount, over the coming months

Trans, our motor enthusiast.
I have a 1936 body with a few fluid leaks and a blocked exhaust.
Does it need resleeving, a new big-end, a head job, polished valves?
At that age and condition, I think you will be a prime subject to be cannibalized
Trans will no doubt know for sure after giving you the once over
Just to reassure you this remedial work does not include a large pot full of boiling water and a bag of onions

Ron - I like the idea that the results cannot be viewed before voting, that's a really good idea.
What not even a leader board this vote ? maybe a tad too early on reflection

If any of you have itchy fingers, I would seriously advise you to wait before you vote, as the true nature of the remaining 5 has yet to be revealed. Sorry Nancy! I didn't realise you were the reigning holder. Obviously, you will have to hand over the crown to the new winner, and I am sure VF will post a map to make the journey a liitle easier (he is such a thoughtful guy)
Winner collects

Kudos to the management of POTY 2016.
Is that because it looks possible that they just might be able to organize a piss up in a brewery, if there is enough of them present at the committee stage

....I haven't been back home since 2009.
Yeh I am old but not sad, the locals know well as the farang that always smiles, Mrs.Trans told me that..
As for my singing farang songs, I practice at home for stuff I can get away with, so I can do songs from different artists doing my own thing...Which include James Taylor, Elvis, Richie, Cat Stevens, The Who, Pink Floyd, Sinatra, and many more, great fun though I have never heard myself sing. I have done my stuff at weddings, birthday bashes and was asked to sing at a farangs grave side, which l did and actually remembered the words, so suppose I can't be all that bad a non professional singer. Oh, I did sing once at Her Majesties "Tower of London", no not from the dungeon....
Can I take it was by appointment, as in royal warrant
Not to be confused with the other type of warrant

I don't wish to labour the point, but I have seen a 4 dot poster, no 5s, lots of sixes, including me, and no 7s, but a whole load of 8s What gives?
The reason I have only amassed 4 Dots, and not 27 is because for a while there I was confusing a Black dot with the Black Spot in Treasure Island, thats why I rejected the award of most of my Dots

I think you get 1 dot for every STD you pick up in Thailand.
Glad I don't have any.
No problem as long as the Dots respond to the medication

I just noticed the dots. What do the dots mean?
I can only speak for myself, and this of course could be nothing more than a coincidence, but it corresponds with the amount of teeth I have

Vote AGAINST dirty tricks. Vote Baboon and the Sensational NongKhaiKid for cleanliness and transparency.
This transparency thing, does that mean we will be able to see right through you

BREAKING NEWS .....
The White House has just announced they are backing smokie, citing no other reason than weed support.
Trump (President Elect) has just announced that he also never inhaled, but would support someone who did!
Bill also claimed Monica never swallowed, so that would have put her on a par with the rest of us, who just would not swallow that
....I haven't been back home since 2009.
