The MSE Comper - Wiki :)

You will never see an MSE comper...although far from extinct, there are more and more of the species appearing everyday.....all waiting for that elusive itv cash comp win...
The MSE Comper seldom sees daylight, instead choosing to stay at home for hours and hours, sometimes days and days, infront of their CRT monitor, or if they are lucky, having a laptop burn their leg for the best part of 20 hours a day. Any form of socialising brings on a panic attack, 'how will i catch up' 'what if I miss something' they think to themselves. Some MSE Compers however, will interact socially with other MSE Compers..in the form of 'code swapping' or 'thanking'...they are definately a very polite bunch it has to be said....That is of course until the MSE Comper makes a fatal flaw....known in comping lingo as 'THE DUPE'. A swift wrist slap, an eyebrow raise and a few fatherly comments and the MSE Comper will be swiftly directed back to the Comping Guide for retraining. Almost as bad as THE DUPE is the BUMP. The BUMP will result in a MSE Comper potentially entering a comp twice, possible disqualification and will earn the bumper a jolly good telling off on the board, enough to make them never comment ever again. Job done.
The potential comping offspring and partners of the MSE Comper crave love and attention from the comper...until presented with a new XBox which keeps them happy for a while. MSE Compers have as many offsping as they can, and are provided with their own personal email accounts moments after birth. The child will usually get a mobile pay as you go phone for it's 1st birthday
The MSE Comper will have no food in the cupboard, but lives on McVities biscuits and pop, the wrappers of which are strewn all around them on the sofa. There are countless money off vouchers just crying out to be printed and spent, but the the MSE Comper will not venture to the shops until the 'heads up' comes for another round of Eat as Many Magnums as you can And See if You Win £50 or Gain 50lb
You will spot an MSE compers easily by their attire if you are fortunate to meet one...(I would definately recommend befriending an MSE Comper in the hope of being plied with unwanted DVD's and numerous tickets for crap events) The MSE Comper will be kitted out in the latest Primal Adidas trainers, fashionable clothes bought with ASOS vouchers, a Chloe or Mulberry handbag, and will be sporting a bright yellow Sandtex umbrella when the heavens open. They will look extra super gorgeous if you catch them just after their Luxury Spa Break or their £2000 makeover, but if not, they'll still look great in their Max Factor and Rimmel makeup, having thoroughly cleansed with their Simple Wipes.
Some of the more 'serious' of the species will have their own shiny silver 'clicker', or even a 'spreadsheet' to ensure no comps are missed and prize totals can be totted up and displayed in the compers very own 'look what I won Im a flashy git na na na na na 'Signature'. The clever MSE Comper will have masterminded a fake Facebook account and can Tweet better than a canary...
Well, this MSE Comper better back to work....and that's about 30 comps ive missed doing this argghhhhh :rotfl:

Mmm, sums it up for many of us I think - not quite as extreme as 20 hours a day mind, I barely fit in an hour with a one year old but the cupboards full of biscuits *sigh* guilty!
