It's a reflection of the society we live in - seems everyone is voting these days. They even vote about voting for people. Kids stuff??? Yes indeed and this is Never-land....

I never thought about it that way...point.
So many pixels about though.
It's maybe like a tradition though..you know like the Managing Director that feels the need to sit sans pantalons on a photocopier every Christmas party.
We all survived last year..this year actually
Yeh, he's very premature with it-sure it was New Year's last year and not Xmas/Eid

Actually this year has, from where I'm sitting, been a good one for The Bored.

Fewer trolls, less wandering off-topic, and some serious topics covered with the appropriate amounts of gravitas and respect. Plus some very welcome newcomers.

And - dare I say it - slightly less friction between a certain male member and a certain female member....?? :o

So some 'serious' categories would not go amiss...........

'Best Thread'? 'Best Post'?

And of course - a new twist on an old theme might not be a bad idea......

'I Wouldn't - Female'? 'I Wouldn't - Male'?
