Rich-UK said on February 22, 2005 23:04:

Hi Folks!

Come on, tell me who thinks that their next vote is not important to this poll? After another 40 votes in the last round, It Will Take A Long Long Time was elimiated by just 1 vote compared with both Anyone and 7twenty7. Yes, just ONE measly vote...

We’re now in the exclusive top half and we have left all 4 singles and 3 special extras :-) But which remaining song is the least special? Or which track really gets on your wick? Tell me now!!

PLEASE VOTE OUT THE SONG YOU LIKE LEAST...

01. Crush On You
02. Wish I Could Fly
xx. Xxx Xxx’x Xxx Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx’x Xxxxxxx Xxxx (13th)
xx. Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxx Xxxx (9th)
05. Ne1
xx. Xx Xxxx Xxxx X Xxxx Xxxx Xxxx (8th)
07. 7twenty7
xx. X Xxx Xx Xxxxx (12th)
09. Stars
10. Salvation
xx. Xxx Xxx Xxxxx (10th)
xx. Xxxxxx (14th)
xx. Xxxxxxx Xx Xxx Xxxxxx (11th)
14. Beautiful Things

You have until 00:59 GMT on Thursday 24th February 2005.

RULES / COMMENTS
Every TDR subscriber is entitled to vote once in each round, but you may not split your vote between different songs nor vote more than once from different TDR accounts. I will state in the first post for each round the time when voting ends: this time will not be changed subsequently. The duration of each round will be about 24 or 48 hours, and 72 hours for the final. If the round is tied then there will be a 24-hour tie-breaker between all the songs with the same number of votes. If a tie-breaker round is tied then all the songs with the same number of votes are eliminated. See if you can spot in each round the deliberate error in a song title ;-) It would be nice if the remaining polls can be kept back until after this one ends, so that we can appreciate this one, and so that the anti-poll lobby has less to complain about... enjoy! :-)

I vote “Anyone”. I like it! But I have to vote one!!! It’s unfair, snif snif :o(

Staffany said on February 22, 2005 23:17:

@Rich-UK: didn’t you see the joke I wrote for you?

Rich-UK said on February 22, 2005 23:21:

Hi Staffany... yes, I did! :-) :-) Sorry, today was busy for me but now I’m free... anyway, yes!! - I also thought of this one... ha ha... it came to me just after “Salutation” was offered for voting... your juicy suggestion may appear in a future round... watch this space ;-)

miguelsocialist said on February 23, 2005 00:43:

Firstly, Rich-uk, thanks for including my vote in the last round and extend the hour for this round. It’s so kind of you :D
Secondly, I vote “Salvation” out. I don’t have anything against that song, it’s ok, but I have to choose and the reasons are known in other rounds.
Have a nice day to everybody :)

Rich-UK said on February 23, 2005 00:48:

Hi Miguel!! Have a nice day also ;-) I didn’t extend the round for you - I was using UK time (GMT)... so in Spain you have one hour extra than the time I state in each round. All the best from Rich ;-) PS - hej, where are you in Spain? I love your country & I will look for work there in the summer...

miguelsocialist said on February 23, 2005 14:06:

Hi Rich-Uk. I’m a bit disappointed cause there was no help to include my vote, my vote entered cause Spain is different time :(. Anyway, I understand, rules are rules.
Thank you for your words about my country. It’s a good country, yes, even more since José María Aznar is not our president. :D
I live in Valencia, a quite big city. It’s not the best city of Spain but it’s quite well. Anyway, in a few weeks we are going to celebrate “Fallas”, the most important public festivity here along year.
Well, I voted “Salvation” and my vote is before this reply.
I’m glad to talk to you, Rich.
Have a nice day to everybody :)

Rich-UK said on February 23, 2005 14:12:

Hi Miguel! But your vote was included in the last round, because you voted before the end of the round, which was 22:59 UK = 23:59 Spain!! :-) At the time I write in the first post for each round, I count the votes and we move onto the next round immediately. You voted before this time, so there was no problem. All the best, Rich ;-)

Edit: this round ends at 00:59 GMT on Thursday 24th February = 01:59 in Spain = lots of different times around the world. All the votes are counted at this time then round 9 begins. I don’t think there was a problem before - just confusion with the time zones.

onlywhenidream said on February 23, 2005 14:22:

@Rich, I never used to live up there (I’m guessing Newcastle right?) But I used to go up there to work at a client’s (Sage) at their new offices...you’re right. Cold!!!! Brrrrr!

Watercolours said on February 23, 2005 14:23:

Salvation

Rich-UK said on February 23, 2005 14:24:

Small world - my brother works for sage... Now I’m living in Northumberland which is even more windy & cold than Newcastle... I want to go to Spain!!!!!!!
PS if you can guess KY, OX & TS I’ll be very impressed :D

miguelsocialist said on February 23, 2005 14:59:

Rich, Spain has a good temperature but, at this moment, is a bit colder than it’s used to... Anyway, it’s Ok, Spain afternoon is like June afternoon in spring... :D

onlywhenidream said on February 23, 2005 15:31:

@ Rich, Fife area, Oxofrdshire and County Durham / Dalington areas??? OKay, I may have cheated a little...

I used to manage the PR for Sage UK and used to go up to their new offices every so often - very impressive!! What does your brother do there?

I have quite postcodes under my belt too: SY, BH, TN, W, UB, ST etc etc...goodenss, I need to settle down! lol

(@ Mathew: yes, 3/3 for you :-) LOL! - not sure exactly what my bro does but I’ll find out sometime, new developments or summat - I’m off out to see Embrace in Newcastle now & won’t be back until after midnight so for SY, BH, TN, W, UB & ST I’ll very quickly guess (without cheating!!) Salisbury, Birmingham, Tunbridge, Wolverhampton, Uxbridge & Southampton - I’ll look forward to finding out when I get back:-)

Can we please stop voting for Crush On You...

...it’s disturbing lol

MrBurns said on February 23, 2005 21:30:

7twenty7 out.

girl7twenty7 said on February 23, 2005 22:30:

Thinking again which one Salvation or Stars I studied closer the list of the rest of the songs. I realized the poll is in its middle now and Stars are still there while Waiting For The Rain, Staring At The Ground are out a time ago. This one is one of Rox songs with the worst production ever with this awful children’s choir. Live Stars is 1000 times better though.

Stars OUT OUT OUT

Rich-UK said on February 23, 2005 23:57:

With approximately 1 hour to vote, 7twenty7 & Anyone are tied!!!!

Please continue to vote. Hopefully we can announce an elimination soon to avoid a tie-breaker...
