    I don't care if this post makes me unpopular and gets peoples' backs up - I'm only saying what a hell of a lot of people are thinking.

    There are people moaning about a lack of wins here when they have won hundreds of pounds of stuff in January and February and are STILL complaining.

    Personally, I find this insulting and greedy. What the hell am I going to do with artichoke tablets? I can't eat the mustard or chocs - but I've still won something so what right do I have to be bitter?

    So when you are all whinging about not having a win for a whole 5 days - think about the folk who have entered just as many comps as you and won sweet FA.

    Count your blessings and your glass will always be half full

    Hear hear! :beer:

  • I think this post is just a little bit of fun, I mean after all, the reason that we all enter these comps is to win them.. so although I thank my lucky stars for what I win, I think it is human behaviour to strive for more.. I dont think it is about being greedy, it is the buzz you get when you win, no matter how big or small.. (and it gives a bit of hope, calling on the comping fairy.. hoping that she visits).. Personally I do love these whinge posts, because a lot of people spend hours and hours a day entering these and at times it can get you down when there are no wins .... Sorry if my opinion offends anyone, but that is my view...

    Thanks for listening :)

    I've been reading up on healthy foods lately and artichokes are excellent for good liver function, I was so impressed with what they said about them that I went out and bought a jar of picked ones :rotfl:

    Seriously, they reckon that just 30 minutes after eating artichokes and your liver function is greatly improved. So, no need to feel guilty after having a glass/bottle of wine anymore :p;)
