    Well done on the win Busybee

    I think the 'Not sure what I am going to do with it but its still a good win!!' has irritated a few people, because it is a one off prize and a lot of Harrington fans would covet something like this, and by saying 'its still a good win' looks as though you would have been as happy with a bottle of suncream!

    maybe next time just say 'thanks' and no one will care what you do with it! ;)

    I totally agree. ok, so it's now going to go to charity.
    Surly it would have been better going to a real fan who would never be able to afford something like this.

    Nope, it is much better going to charity - even if that means that a real fan who can afford it ends up with it!:D

    See, this is why it's a good idea to only enter for things you know you could use :) Well done though!

    Well done, stick it on ebay if you don't know what to do with it :) it's your win, don't feel pressured into anything. I bet most people win stuff they don't need, don't say anything and stick it on ebay. ;) Big congrats!
