    The Gadget Show - Channel 5

    In this week’s amazing competition we’re giving 4 of you the chance to win 50 gadgets each! Yes, that’s four winners, each getting 50 gadgets.

    Altogether it’s a prize fund worth nearly 30 thousand pounds and to be in with a chance of winning it all, you’ll need to know the answer to this question:

    In which movie did Tom Cruise's character memorably use the phrase 'Show Me The Money!'

    a) Jerry Maguire :D
    b) Days Of Thunder
    c) Rain Man

    To enter, call 0904 16 16 555, or text A, B or C to 63555.

    Calls cost £1.50 from a BT landline. Calls from other networks may vary and from mobiles will cost considerably more. Texts cost £1.50 + 1 message at standard network rate. For rules go to five.tv/win. Lines close at midday on Monday 30th March.

    Good luck!

    Hi, never really done the postal comps before but thought I would give it a go. Can I ask how safe is it to put your phone number on a postcard? Just makes me a little uneasy!

    I always put my mobile no or phone no underneath postcode too, that way I never get any return postcards!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    I had a postcard returned last week and I had written my address lengthways on the back of the card with my mobile number under the postcode. I also had one returned a few weeks ago , but that time I will take the blame as I had put the stamp on the wrong side of the postcard :o

    Weightwatchers
    Good food (sometimes have postal ones, not often though)
    Top sante (not often they have comps)

    I can take over Good Food, if that's ok? I've got a yearly subscription to it.

    I was gonna ask if anyone still does Asda/Tesco mags as haven't seen the comps for a while and can pick these up easily. Unfortunately I am no longer a regular cinema goer, tho my friend goes to cineworld every week so could probably pick up the mag for me :D

    I'm going to Showcase Cinema's on Thursday.
    No idea if they do a mag, but shall grab one if I see one! :)

    hi, i've never had any bother from putting phone number on the postcards, i generally put my spare moby number on as only use that for the comps..
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png




  • Hi, i hope this doesn't sound silly but whenever i do postal comps i use a blank postcard and write my details and answer on one side and the address it's going to on the other side, is this wrong/will it affect my chances as it seems most people on this thread write all of it on the same side :confused:
