You'd have to be seriously naive to think that he didn't steal it. And there's no reason to think that Stevenson wasn't engaged in shit in other counties. That's just the way the corrupt game has been played as long as there have been elections.
I don't know why we're suddenly bringing up Flex in this conversation.
Any discussion about contemptible behaviour must, like iron filings to a magnet, draw to Flex.

This poll endeth here on the 27th February, in the year of our lord 2019.

May historians note that the score ended up KISS 12 - Bosstones 11.
I've just interviewed the guy who oversaw the vote count. He claims everything appeared to be in order.

Trying smells like ambition, fanboy.

I find the sudden swing very suspicious and transfer my pity vote to the non-Heston option.
I didn't include the "change your vote" option. :lol:
People know that you cheated, so I can change my vote.
Hang on Gerussi, where is the evidence I cheated? I already admitted I was holding off from voting until the end (within the laws of the board), and unlike a few on here, I have no alt account. Don't listen to the slanderous words of Wolt.
Heston is right, you know. Paying your mum to log on and vote for you is completely within the laws of the board.

See! It was a genuine IMCT member who voted. Not my Mother, Daughter or window cleaner. Or an alt account.

Victory at last.

Collaborator.

To be honest I don't much care for either version. I will take Ska punk over Rock most days but that MMB version is just lazy the lead vocal is crap and it's only saving grace is the horns. If they had released an instrumental version it would've sounded so much better. I mean as a Ska punk band is that the best cover they could come up with? Trying to be too clever rarely works. I like some of their other stuff but that track sucks. So I thought it only fair to give credit to the original version.

This might just be the best rock version of the song. Dee Snider at least sounds like he's having fun.
