    Not connected to the site in any way are you?

    It all looks a bit strange to me, with no real information on the site what it is all about at all.

    I just spent ages trying to upload a photo, then realised I had done it 5 times! According to the T&Cs, this competition ended on 27 November 2011, but it still let me enter. Probably wasted my time.

    I assume this means flights are not included?
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
