Culture Cup rd 3 (Books)

First topic message reminder :

Round 2 of the Culture Cup 2.0 finally comes to an end, and what a controversial round it turned out to be. There were accusations of vote rigging (by me, about Adam. I still think he has cheated), arguments, swearing and threats of physical violence. But, that’s what great art does. It inspires opinions, it creates extremes of emotion, it forces people to look into their souls. Round 2 was great art. Great art happening in front of our eyes, people. There were one or two questions about the validity of some picks and, as usual, some invective spewed my way. But I can handle it. That’s what great leaders do, provide inspiration in the face of adversity. It’s water of a ducks back to me. Or jizz off Sean’s chin if you need a better metaphor.

So who were the movers and shakers in round 2? Well, the biggest winners were Hero and Harrier who both scored 10 points with Madge and Dusty. I voted for Madge so I can’t say I’m too disappointed with those choices. Son Of A Preacher Man is a great song as well so no complaints from me. Hero and Hammer are at the top of the table with Paul, Treb “Tik Tok” Trebs and 'fathead' Adam breathing down their necks. That f*cking lunatic Ziggler somehow managed to lobby enough people to vote for his choon and finds himself in second place for round 2 with 8 points. Adam with Hit Me Baby One More Time somehow claims the last podium position in round 2 with a truly awful song. I’d like to hit all the people that voted for it one more time with a massive claw hammer. Although that would just involve hitting Adam over his stupid, fat head numerous times as he clearly cheated and rigged the votes. Jeff and superfly continue their titanic “who is the least sh*t out of two sh*t posters” battle with Jeff’s solitary vote this round enabling him to snuggle up to his great rival on 2 points each in the table.

A few posters continue to languish with no points, with Sean “I lie more than Jay from the Inbetweeners” Michaels, Galted “Massively Gay Way” Mears and Julius “I’m old so I moan. Deal with it” Marx all yet to break their 2.0 virginity. Stella has become a bit of an enigma. He joined late, and now won’t answer my PM’s. This has forced me to choose for him in round 3. Hopefully my choice will lift him from the foot of the table.

So the updated table looks like this:

1) Hero 16 pts
2) Harrier 14 pts
3) Paul 12 pts
4) Trebs 10 pts
5) Adam 10 pts
6) Ziggler 9 pts
7) SerialDAVE 7 pts
8) C&R 6 pts
9) Azzy 6 pts
10) weeman 5 pts
11) Nakatomi 4 pts
12) Beadle 4 pts
13) Union Cane 3 pts
14) Shah-abu bakr 3 pts
15) The Boss 3 pts
16) superfly 2 pts
17) Jeff 2 pts
18) Grumpy G*lfer 2 pts
19) Dagless 1 pt
20) Michaels 0 pts
21) Jules 0 pts
22) Ray Mears 0 pts
23) Stella 0 pts

Round 3 takes us to books and question was this: WHAT IS THE BEST PIECE OF FICTION WRITTEN BY A EUROPEAN?

Please remember, THIS IS OPEN FOR ANYONE ON 606v2 TO VOTE

Thanks.

REM didn't sing about a Koi did they?

They're, apparently, mentioned in Imitation Of Life along with goldfish. The song wasn't about them, I think REM just like to mention as many things as they can in their songs, especially animals.

A good name for a koi would be "Roy". Or "Joy".
Chris Hoy would be a good koi, ditto Del Boy. And Claire Foy.

Kenny Noye?
