A plea for help, well internet votes really!

First topic message reminder :

Wondrous folks of the 606v2 forum, I com asking an internet based favour again. You all very kindly went on to a website for me previously to win the wife a photo competition, the prize for which was a hair treatment at a swanky London salon.

I come to ask you to do the same for me again if you can, although this time not for the wife, for a friend, and the prize is a different, and more worthy one to shiny hair.

Here is the link…

http://www.starcentralmagazine.com/voting/2012/07/30/sexiest-women-august-2012/

… and listed are 7 pretty ladies. Olley Edwards is a friend and the prize for her if she wins this competition is a feature, including an interview in the magazine. What Olley would like to do is to use the feature to talk about female autism and raise awreness of it, as it is a topic close to her heart, but, she can only do this if she wins.

As with all of these types of comp you can only vote once daily from each IP address, although if you have multiple devices (PC, laptop, tablet, mobile) you can vote off each. The competition runs until 12:00 am on the 30th August Australian time as it's an Aussie website, so if you can I would ask if you could vote on as many days as possible and from as many devices, as it is a very close competition. There is no sign up, it is a simply click and go.

As I say, it is for a good cause, and I would be extremely grateful to all who do vote.

Thank you in advance to anyone who does. You are the best internet forum users on the, erm ….. Internet!

Another PC. Another Vote.

44 ahead this morning.

When does the voting close, is it Thursday afternoon? I'm not very good at converting Australian time.

The poll closes on the 30th of August, 2012 at 12am AEST. Not sure what time that is over here, but will try to work it out.

It is very unclear, I am presuming that 12am is midnight, and that it's midnight on the 30th going into the 31st, which makes it 3pm on Thursday afternoon in the UK.

So us Kiwis can vote for a couple of hours into September...

47 ahead.. yeeha..Go Olley..

3pm Thursday - got that.

Looks like we're counting on you to pop an extra couple of votes in then Laurie

Errr, hang on a minute

PJ
You know us Kiwis we never cheat...........much.

Another vote cast. I'm going to miss doing this after Thursday.

Maybe we should enter PJ into a sexiest man comp.........

Maybe not then

What a pleasure it was to vote for Olley this glorious morning.
It feels like the sun shines every day with Olley. Friday is going to be overcast.

Erin is making a late charge. I'll bang a few more in later tonight.

Good work fellas, we a re 44 to the good at the moment, with Erin and Caitlin tied in second. Finishing line is in sight!

Yous feckin rascal.

She's 73 ahead. I hope we have worn the opposition down.

182 ahead!

Magic! Great stuff guys. Now let me make that 183!!!

186! We got 'em on the run boys - no mercy from here.

Just 31 hours to go so lets bring Team Olley home in style... an ting.

No slacking lads. It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Current difference is 181. Caitlin obviously still has her admirers.

That's right Rava.
No slacking or drooping on this one. We must remain alert and erect at all times!

128 ahead

Just made it 92+

err- something wrong with the site- its hanging for me.

It was for me before too. Had to reboot and then it was OK.

Trying to find out where their offices are in Sydney. I have a feeling they are very near me (lots of media/sports/advertising/TV businesses in St Leonards) but I can't find any address whatsoever. Pete, do you know?

I was toying with the idea of spray-painting "Olley" on the footpath outside... but maybe that might offend somebody.

Line do it dude, that would be funny!.. I reakon it was hanging because of to many on the site. I eventually got in to vote!

I've no idea where the office is breaker, but that would be funny if you did that!

Something funny seemed to be going on but glad it's OK now.

mysti, or kidnap Anna... or Nathalie

Olley 3162, Caitlin 2933

I think the poll is now closed and we've won. it would appear that we calculated the finish time wrong.

Good work folks, and thank you all for your dedication to this horrible task ;-)

Think i could probably speak for everyone and say gad we could all help , it was a real chore

We came , we saw, we conquered....

Top stuff people. There's been some great posts on this thread making it a thoroughly enjoyable read.

What a team lads!! we done it- its been fun!! And more than just a vote for a spicy bit of clunge..(dont take offense- just been watching inbetweeners!)

Wow it's been a tough two weeks lads but someone had to do it.

Big-up yerselves Team Olley!!!!

All round, personally it's been a bit of a chore scrolling through those pictures twice a day, but if one can't make sacrifices every now and again...

We believed. And cheated for the Cause. I hope Olley sends us a signed photo.

Just like Leo Cullen

Offside Ref! Every time!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1... OK Use IT!!!!!

So the spray painting worked.

Its the other way Linebreaker. Use It. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Not down here it ain't. Makes more sense to count down otherwise we'll be getting 6s and 7s.

Gibbo - you blew up their server. There still should be another day or more to go. Genius.

We're friends on Twitter, her and I. I'll arrange to send a signed photo of US

You swine.

Freekshow i can get you some photos if you want , as long as you dont mind the strange angles or the odd tree branch or window frame getting in the way

That'll be great Kenny. No bigger than A4 size though buddy, my cell wall is nearly mucked out to the max.

No problem , i shall pack a lunch and get straight on her ...........i mean it

Kenny that reminded me of an old joke about the Chinese Private Detective who was carrying out some surveillance work for a female client. He related his story: -

I see man go in hotel.
I see woman go in hotel.
I see man go upstairs.
I see woman go upstairs.
I climb tree.
I see man come in room.
I see woman come in room.
I see man take off woman's clothes.
I see woman take off man's clothes.
I see them climb in bed.
I see he play with she, she play with he, I play with me, fall down tree, I no see.

You be careful up that tree mate, and you not so well either

Congratulations Olley! Send us a link to the article when it is released.
And well done Team Olley! Great work.

Agreed with Freek above - the banter has made this an immensely enjoyable campaign. I imagine this is how the Conservatives felt after their big post-election victory bumfest. Elated their candidate won, but totally spent.

Olley's piece is now up...

http://www.starcentralmagazine.com/spotlight/2012/09/18/olley-edwards/

She says thanks to all (except Portnoy ) for voting.

Nice girl and a great Mum to her 3 children.
I wish her all the best with her modelling career as well as her fine work raising awareness of autism and Asperger's Syndrome.
She has already done so much at a young age and has a good head on her shoulders.
Inspirational stuff and she truly deserves this award.
