This time it just happened to be enormously funny as well.

Reminds me of the time I called him a Roly Poly and he put my wifes visa application to the back of the queue.

Which one?

All of them

I see I've managed to double my amount of votes over the weekend.

I am going to have to resurrect Dr IronJohnson at this rate. Zero votes from 2 rounds.

Im still screwed in this round

I feel your pain Rick, I have also got last choice in the next round, so could well end up having to check if the Twilight author is European by the time the nominations process is done.

When is the next round due? I have not seen anything, but knowing Tino, it could be any time he has to spare between breeding...

Hopefully some time before the clocks go back.

I hope Tino's ok, it's not like him to delay wrapping up an existing round and starting a new one.

Tino is waiting for my nomination to get a vote before proceeding. We could be here a while yet.

By the time the new round starts half the nominations will have left the EU.

Then we're tied for the amount of votes received. This could be quite a thrilling battle.

Unless you nominated Aretha, yours doesn't deserve any votes.

Reminder for those who may have missed it.

Round 3 is books and the question is this:  WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF FICTION WRITTEN BY A EUROPEAN?

If your choice is taken by someone higher up the food chain, then I will PM you.

The random list has generated the following:

  Ziggler
  Hero
  Dog
  Beadle
  Adam
  Trebs
  Jules
  Union
  Harrier
  Shah
  Superfly
  The Boss
  Galted
  Paul
  GrumpyG*lfer
  Nakatomi
  SerialDAVE
  Dagless
  C&R
  Weeman
  Azzy
  Michaels
  Stella
  Jeff

Thanks.

Do we go by birthplace only, or do nationalised Europeans count?
Prose fiction only or plays/screenplays?
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Tino - did you overlook my questions?

Temptation is to go for something that stands a chance, but as I am doing so fecking badly, I am going to stick to my favourites, no New testament....

I would say more 'ignored' than overlooked.

Fair enough. Ignoring reasonable questions is symptomatic of the shoddy organisation of the whole CCV2 experience. If you weren't in my top 20 favourite posters, I'd be out of here right now.

1) UK and Ireland as well
2) Birthplace
3) Plays/screenplays are valid
4) Welsh androids do

can we have the match summary of Grimsby v Bristol Rovers now you're back?

Pink, l*l.

No, too busy today. Didn't even know they were playing. Union will be your best bet for that.

c@nts

Sarah "Duchess of York" Ferguson - Budgie the Helicopter series or Frank "Frank" Lampard's - Frankie's Magic Football range. Plenty of tomes in amongst that lot for selection if anyone's struggling.

If ever there was a blend of culture and shameless vote grabbing...

I'd have neither.

Quite glad I didn't go with my 2nd choice of Respect by Aretha, how that has no votes is beyond me.

Surely you should have voted for it? Unless of course you voted for yourself?

I've sent you mine, Tina

Sounds like Hero just admitted fixing CCV1.

I know. But you f*cked it up as usual so I need another one.

I did PM you back but I am also happy to wash your dirty laundry in public.

Another excellent song which I overlooked (Son of a Preacher Man) got my vote.

Hero wrote:Quite glad I didn't go with my 2nd choice of Respect by Aretha, how that has no votes is beyond me.

You only have to consider the people voting to explain that, Hero.

I nominated Say a Little Prayer, prefer Respect but consider it more of an Otis Redding song so though Say a Little Prayer was more in the spirit of the thing. Not had any huge impact on the voting success.

Well, I've given up in any case. I can virtually guarantee 0 votes in the next round - chose it specifically for that purpose.

The Highway Code?

I have none in this and will have none in the next I expect Jules, we can take moral hight ground mate....

Didnt realise you were such a UKIP about these things.

i've only read about 7 books in my adulthood so fecked again. windows i've changed my first choice.

I would love to do likewise but I am in a life or death struggle with superfly. It matters, far more than it should. He tries to pretend he doesn't care, but we all know the truth.

I have none in this or the first round, I am very hopeful of getting one and maybe even two votes in the next round though.

I haven't read any of my nominations - I just went for high-brow stuff for the hell of it.

Razzle doesn't count as a book.

Sean strikes me as a bravo two zero type of bloke.

Though he'd wonder what happened to Bravo 1-19

Only to wrongfoot the investigators and to avoid giving them a reason to obtain a search warrant for his bumhole

I am in, can I be taken off the naughty list please?

You do have to wonder if Tina has done this round solely to the Boss can nominate Niall Quinn's autobiography again. I dearly hope so.

My first choice is a blatantly obvious one which will do well.

My second choice is one i doubt people have read, but hopefully the popularity of the film will help me out.

What I picked at number 2 will be picked by someone else and probably win, it shouldn't do though as it's ruddy awful.

I picked three of my favourite books, none of which will have a chance I suspect...

Still waiting a few nominations before rd 3 goes up.

Hammersmith Harrier
GrumpyG*lfer
Stella

You two still need to let me know your choices.

There are a few of you that won't get your first picks but I can't let you know until all the nominations are in.

We have also had a couple of withdrawals for different reasons so just need Stella and GrumpyG*lfer to get their acts together.
