    I won tickets to see British Sea Power at the Czech Embassy, tonight, with an after show party at the Gate Cinema in a private room.

    It was a great prize, but my partner couldn't go.

    I tried at least 9 friends and they couldn't make it. I didn't want to go on my own, called them up to see if they could pass the tickets on, but it was getting late for them at that point I think.

    So, the prize was wasted.

    This is the fifth time since last September that I have had a call on the day of the event.

    Luckily, I have been flexible enough to be able to get to the others.

    At the last one, which I was able to go to, I found out from the PR employee that they only get passed the names on the day, hence the last minute phone calls. One of the winners of that one didn't turn up.

    It is such a shame that the comp organisers can't finish the comps, or inform the PR peops, a day or two earlier. They'd get a better take-up rate that way.

    Ah well, it added to my £2008 target!:T

    HTH someone.

    I'd be really grateful if peops have other ones to add to / comment on these three lists, as I am keeping them for my own use. I have added to them from previous compers' suggestions, and will re-post them if I get more info.

    Thanks in advance.[/FONT]

  • Hi

    I dont know whether I am the only one but part of the fun of entering competitions is the taking part. So I get fustrated by finding posts notifying you of a new competition and include the answer/s.

    Could the webmaster add the addon for vbulletin to include a hide text bbcode button so if answers were posted its upto the reader to decide if they want to know the answer?

    If posters forget to use this facility then the board admins could hide it.

    I thought that was the point here - to include the answers to help everyone?

    I do admit to sometimes, with Radio Times and Top Gear comps etc..., not looking at the answers unless I really don't know them but otherwise I'm grateful for the answers and if I post comps myself always include the answers (where possible!).
    OK I need to work on my wording - to many 'answers' in this post! LOL!
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T
