    Me either! Imagine my surprise when I learnt South Tyrol is in Italy....I always thought it was in Yorkshire :o

    Bit O/T - but when the Argentinians took the Falklands, I thought they had invaded Scotland for a moment (seriously...):o

    As dreams are made on; and our little life

    Why?

    Do you hate me that much?

    my wee bugbear is those people who say they never win anything when it turns out they don't actually really enter anything anyway x
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    My pet hate is Rafflecopter competitions where you have been entering for 3 months or so, coming back every day and then they dont even let you know the winner, just the first name and surname initial would do, but nothing! I really think the Rafflecopter should be set to announce the winner.

    This is a twofold one...
    1) Putting your name / phone no / email on a thread, thinking that's how you enter a competition (despite the links in the OP)...
    Bad enough.... So I always send a friendly PM explaining how to enter the comps...
    2) Not getting a 'thanks' for my PM that alerts them to the fact that they've not entered the competition by responding to the thread / have just put their personal details on a public forum.

    So, yes, 1 annoys me but is understandable, 2 is just plain rude.
