I feel I am being punished now for giving it away, and also (this will shock you :eek: ), I stopped tuning into Mastermind with Magnus Magnusson after watching it religiously for 20 years.

See it's all coming out now, all the confessions, so now we know it's you to blame for this whole Icesave fiasco! Why oh why did you do it?:eek::eek:

Is there room for one more here?

After surviving Kaupthing's "vanishing CHAPS" trick, here I am with IceSave's version of stress! Just like Kaupthing, it is reassuring to see messages from other folk in the same boat as me, so thank you nilrem for starting this thread! My situation is that I didn't get the 1st email till I changed to GMail. Then I changed my ISP spam settings, changed the email back to my original one and provoked another 1st email using the 'send blank email'. I feel like I've behaved like a panicking pheasant in the headlights of a car!

Is it my round.....?

I once hit a pheasant...through the rear view mirror I saw only a cloud of feathers.....
Sorry, that wasn't too comforting was it? :eek:

I knitted an Icelandic jumper once (when they were all the rage in the early 1980's), - all done on a circular needle and it was very beautiful. I wore it once, and decided that it was not my colour (dusky pinks!) so I gave it to my sister-in-law. I never saw her wear it:rolleyes:

There! I've said it! That's why I believe I haven't received my 2nd email

Another brilliant contribution for my book of icesave jokes....do I have to pay y'all commission ?

By the way, MM is dead - like icesave....

Lifted from another thread:
Ok, no more jesting, I got my invitation email at 09:24 this morning (yes Saturday) and have done the deed.

Confucious say "I told you not to bother with 3 star cover":D

Contrary to this highly deflammatory post, there is nothing, NOTHING between me and the gas man.....

Maybe there should be a prize fund started for the LAST person on MSE to receive the 2nd email? Could be a good consolation.

I have more confessions! Auntie knitted a his and hers Icelandic jumper for a Christmas present the first year we were married - 26 years ago. I gave them to a Romanian charity a few years ago:o And I had a beautiful Icelandic jacket which I thought was the bees knees and wore it to death even after it was fashionable:cool:

Well That is the one prize I don't want to win, my God can you imagine being the last one here waiting when all others have theirs!:eek::eek:

Got my fingers well crossed! :eek:

It could offset some of the lost interest.
