Ok, so who forgot to vote for Brazil? Only showing as 3 votes yet Maccy, Cf, Fudgie and I declared for them. Meanwhile, only Sandy declares for bananas yet that has 2 votes. Not guilty, Sir! On viewing the voters to date, it looks as if Fudgie has yet to put his 'X' somewhere...

I honestly don't see the appeal Maccy. Why are you so keen on a slightly bent fruit? Ohhhhhhhhhh. Which one of 'em is it I'm meant to be... Bert or Ernie? I never can remember!

What about baptismal names? Why do people give their children first names that are actually surnames? Mason, Bailey, Tyler, and so on. In my day children were called Matthew, Mark, Luke or John. Now they have these positively 'evil' surnames. Why don't these parents go the whole way and call their offsprings Nebuchadnezzar?

collinge, an individual heavener has already been allocated each letter, then the others vote which is the most evil.
bananas have to be yellow, even yellow tinged with green. they're for puddings only once they start aging and fermenting.
never been into the cult of brazil (country, not terry gilliam film) that many seem to, but i'm not ready to consign a country to room 101.
by process of elimination, goodbye beer. i drink a little, but not much really. i'd miss shandies for their summer refreshment. i wouldn't miss their vessels being thrown, smashed over heads, or in the case of my student years, bottles of newcastle brown being held by chunky goth girls with their thumb in the top to prevent a spillage as they pinwheel round a sticky indie-night dancefloor to the cure's 'friday i'm in love'.
did have some nice beer steeped ham yesterday though. i think if we can retain it as a cooking ingredient (i'm unwilling to sacrifice the steak and ale pie) then we can lose it as a drink.

Yep. t'was me your various honours.
Cant seem to cast my vote via mobile I will do so when I get on my desktop!
As per Brazil. Im not saying it means nothing to them matey. I appreciate for some people it is their only.espcape daily struggles you or I could only.comprehend...howver in my opinion that doesn't make them any more passionate than you or me.
For example I dont think any Sao Paolo fan enjoys their club winning more than we love County wimning. I cant see that they enjoy scoring a goal or making a goal saving block more than I do.
There are African nations that will have even less than Brazil in.some cases and football will be as big of an escape to them as it will to a Brazillian. In my head it is the World's game and you either love it or you dont regardless of nationality. Ive probably worded it terribly though but I know what I mean at least!

I'm guessing it's the curse of posting on the mobile (the randomness of predictive/no predictive text), fudge, but it reads like it's beer you should be consigning to chive

Tough choice you given us this week, duds. Just list all three and I wouldn't want to put any of them in. Reading your reasons, I coud put all of them in.
I do like a cold beer and I do love my real ales (although not in an extremeist way!) so I can't out that in. I'm not sure I could consign a whole country to the vault, so bananas it is.
I do quite like bananas, but they are not the only fruit - or is that oranges? My main reason, though, is that they do ruin a good fruit salad.

Finally cast my vote for Brazil!
@eppy...my phone is a fiddly nightmare, it's pretty old now as phones go as well so it's only getting worse...I'm at a point of frustration with it now where I don't even bother trying to correct my mistakes! As long as the basic gist of what I'm trying to say is clear I just think it's simply not worth the hassle!

Hope you are all enjoying my choices! I deliberately chose things that we could all love and presented them in their worst possible light.
If I had given you Birmingham and Burnley you would have found the choice equally difficult...

I do indeed understand the choice, just wanted to get a pet hate off my chest. Here goes:
-beer? No way, Pedro, as a CAMRA life member and Birmingham CAMRA's Press Officer, Membership Secretary and Mild Officer I'm not a turkey voting for Christmas.
-bananas? Love 'em.
-Brazil? Now I feel sorry for the country in the way Deutschland annihilated them in the World Cup (they should have declared, but even then Brazil would have lost by an innings). But as I like the other two 2 Bs so much I regretfully have to say Brazil. Desculpe!

Bananas got my vote, I just don't get them, in the fruit bowl they bully the other fruit and make them go off and then the bananas themselves just go soft and mushy make me heave all of the time, don't get why people like them so much.
