    cant be a 'jobsworth'.....

    Think you can.

    I was trying to save 2 words, and describe your post in just one.

    Here are lots of words to descrIbe a jobsworth from wikipedia:
    "jobsworth" a minor factotum whose only status comes from enforcing otherwise petty regulations.

    oh.. perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick.....

    all I was meaning is as I had a screen shot of 14.06 and wasnt' on the list I wanted to know what number I managed to get to ie: was I 6120 or 2001 or whatever...

    "hopefully they will tell you what im thinking" - what were you thinking?
  • Jesus, you realise that with all these threads constantly descending into squabbles like schoolkids, it's going to put companies off running these sorts of promotions, and the same for MSE, as well as giving all of us a bad name.

    I was trying constantly, managed to enter ONCE, at 2:12 and I sincerely doubt I'll get one, despite the fact I got a confirmation that I'd been "entered into the draw"...C'est la vie. No need to get all petty and vicious over it.

    I'm on the list twice, which surprises me, because I only managed to get through to the second page once.

    That said, I used exactly the same details each time I tried, so I'll be one of the 'obvious duplicates' and that's at least one more free card to be reallocated. :)

    Congratulations to everyone else who made the list. :beer:
