No Ed? No Volts? No 16 tins?

Anyway, HDS, Phlegm & NZT for my money. Scaly would've been good value in the boards meetings tho; always gives the kiwis a fair go IMHO.

Bit surprised that Voltman and Ed aren't on the list TBH. Voted for Flem, NZTailender and Heath from the list though would've given consideration to the two absentees I noted.

I might have been nominated, but no one seconded me. I think it's because most people can't handle the truth...

I wouldn't want to be on a board with Voltman. God knows what would happen

A disappointing lack of Pub Time, I'd suggest.

Note to Self: Always hold any meeting for any purpose at the pub.

The only nomination I remember for me was my own vote.

I'll take it though. Won't be sad enough to vote for myself in here...is the poll private?

Personally, it doesn't seem quite right to be having a poll that doesn't feature Voltago, Perm, 16 Tins and Mr. Ed at the very least. There's plenty of other Kiwis who could be in this poll as well - Retox, Bahns, Blakey, 99*, Somerset. Should all be in there. I would have nominated them myself, but I used up all my nominations trying to get bond21 appointed as an England and/or West Indies selector.
