    Don't panic folks - I got my screwdriver and hammer out and have now fixed everything. Martin may have a few bumps on his head when he wakes up :)

    We got frozen in time a few months ago, do you remember korks, it was hilarious... :rotfl:

    I also posted a new comp at 10:39, and it isn't showing!

    Also I'm not able to quote you or TPD... :confused:
    MD - probably a good thing about not quoting. I talk the most amazing amount of drivel :)

    Just taken delivery of a case of 24 bottles of Singha (Thailand) Beer from a comp which closed on 28/07/2009 :D

    have been chasing the prize up for ages and I can't believe that it's finally arrived!

    think that they must have sent it on a slow boat from Thailand :rotfl:

    hi,

    I am wanting to search for any competitions on twitter. Could you advise how to do this or is it simply a case of signing up to brands that you would like to win and waiting for them to do a competition?

    Thanks

    Lisa

    Hi

    I was wondering if anyone else has been having problems on the Take a Break puzzles website. When I go on the website the login area is shadowed out & I am unable to log in.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the advice. I am registered & have used the site for a year or so but it won't let me put my details in as it is all greyed out & I can't type anything. I also can't contact them for the same reason, when the page loads up it goes grey & freezes.

    I will just try to be patient & keep checking back. I haven't had problems with my computer or any other site so was hoping it wasn't just me but maybe it is!!!

    Thanks again
