hiya Khrisb, you got me on that one :eek::o

think our lovely ImmortalBeloved is the expert on them, most times i've come across them is in text/phone entries in mags & they just put ROI

i've had a quick look through IB's
'view threads by ImmortalBeloved' & see IB does put (Norn Iron/Ireland) (Norn/ROI) on the titles,
maybe as long as it's on the title it should be ok either way,
but think it best to try to find out
i'll pm glad to ask/help as it's something i'd like to know as well,
&/or maybe another member might be able to help as well

big thanks for asking :A& i'll update 1st page as soon as glad/anyone
helps us out x

Hi thanks for that just wanted to get it right 1st time I thought I had seen (Norn Iron/Ireland) but was not sure I hope i can put in a few :j

Hi thanks for all the above,
if a comp is for Ireland ROI or Northern Ireland only do I put (ROI & NI only) in the heading or is there another way?

I think if a comp states ROI or NI in the T&Cs then it should be in the title and the OP

That way most people will notice in the title and won't need to even open it if they are not eligible to enter

In fact it's a good idea to include any restrictions in the title of a thread if possible

Thanks for that, I personally do like it if the OP puts the T&C as most comps are UK only, is there any point, or would it be allowed if I posted ROI entry only (small numbers but it’s out there to be won) comps ?Using the above advice in the title.

Haha, I think we should create an alternative abreviation list on the lines of Roger's Profanisaurus. Could be fun

What about UPD? It's not been used but it could be used for an Unexpected Parcel Delivery. A parcel you weren't expecting?
