Dober dan, Michael,

Forsooth, I've only just looked in here, and i'm busy kicking now, I promise.

As one who might well in future be grateful for a meal of any size or type (it looks as if the price for my old charger has taken a knock after the recent scandals, I fear) I can assure you no slight was meant nor intended.

As to this thread and the quality of fizzy's pen - well, I liked her posts on OurSlo, but I must say I don't like the whole idea of voting for things like this. I mean, congratulations and all that on winning, Fizz - but did you win because you did really great, gripping fair and accurate reviews - or did you win because you had the best lobbying skills and a great bunch of unquestioning friends?

Perhaps for you it doesn't matter, but if i were ever to be up for such an honour (highly unlikely, methinks) I'd like to think it was on merit alone for work done, not on my ability to round up votes on the net.

Of course, each to his or her own - I am probably showing my age - the spirit of the Round Table is strong for some and less for others, I suppose.

Well, this is my first post on this BritishExpats' forum - I have read in the rules one must not ....... golly gosh, what was it - yes, there is it - Post Karma messages - what on earth are they, pray??????

Does "you reap what you sow" count as a karma message?

I suppose one should not sign up and say one has read the rules without ...... well, done now ........

I see a few faces in here from OurSlo - jolly good. lep pozdrav and all that,

Look at the bottom left of peoples posts and there is a Karma button, usually given for helpful posts ....... or for people who have given credit where credit is due

hi Sir H - I agree with you about the method of choosing the award winners. However, as the other entrants all campaigned as hard, if not harder, I could only join them. (Actually I joined them late as I was in MB when the nominations were announced and missed a week of campaigning.

I wonder whether the posts I made on OurSlo have been interpreted as reviews. I didn't ever post a whole review on that site, only quick recommendations which is perhaps why they've been described as lacking substance. My full length reviews are always packed with detail and opinion, on the other hand.

Sir Harry le Fise Lake

Greetings, Fizz,

re reviews; yes, if you can't beat em (and you can't, of course), then ...... it jsut all seems such a ..... sham ..

On ourSLO I remember your recommendation to visit Velenje museum, the museum in Dravograd, the pub in Maribor ........ things like that. I didn't actually evaluate them as reviews per se.

Hail Mitzyboy - I am most perplexed.

This sounds like putting whisky in an alcoholic's fridge and telling him not to drink.

Verily, now I see it, but I thought we were to be banished from the Islands if we posted Karma, or worse still, become enserfed to a Norman Baron - most confusing.

But never mind, I promise never to post anything like a karma post as I understand the meaning of the word. Promise.

Harry Old Chap , if things get really bad at least you can eat Dobbin ( Dobbin may give a good indication of our ages). Chez Bruce probably might cook horse occasionally although somewhat British in menu but perhaps next time in the UK we can write a duet on the food.
At risk of fuelling another round of non Karma I did think all this lobbying was a bit much, even though I am glad I did not say so after having my ears boxed but I have read a Fizzy review and would now endorse that Fizz can write, set a scene and give good info.. So perhaps the best man won !!
Hope the Ambassadors balls are still what they used to be.

Heh heh ... there's no need to be perplexed Karma is not public, no one sees it but the recipient. On the actual forum you can post how you want, within the parameters of the rules
