    Well done. If people don't let them know how it makes us feel, then they're going to keep on doing it. :rotfl:

    they will keep on doing it anyway.

    apparently sue logged in today.
    just saying
    looks weird

    Lets do everyone a favour and not start any of that rubbish again.
    Starting afresh - comping as much as poss!

    Hoping for: some beauty goods, clothes, amazon vouchers, anime, manga, wardrobe, fridge freezer, laptop, an ipad, vouchers for next, exercise goods, a uk break and a wee hol somewhere nice!
    Wishing all a little luck:beer:

    All my family would have to do was open my computer, as I stay logged into MSE all the time.

    Perhaps best not to talk about this, as suggesting anything 'weird' about someone who has passed away is rather inappropriate.

    maybe it does, if you misunderstand my meaning.
    people say 'weird' in relation to people who have passed away all the time. sorry if the word offends you. it is just a word

    LOL, sorry no I didn't mean what you were saying was weird or that it was inappropriate to use it in relation to a deceased person: sorry I worded my reply wrongly. :o

    I just didn't think it entirely appropriate you made a comment at all about someone who has recently passed away in the first place, whether there was a weird occurrence or not.

    I know you made the comment out of curiosity, but the forum can get quite tetchy about things like this, and you did ask why you got the response you did from kzmicallef. :o

    Me too... Almost as good as the Mammoth Mattresses 'runners up'...

    Are companies legally allowed to call a discount that requires a minimum spend a prize? I'm surprised Trading Standards don't pull them up on that.

    They can only do that if people report it. Many won't.
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    ave an A1 day!

    Yes, as long as it is not misrepresented (although usually offered as a "runner-up" prize rather than the main one and sometimes simply awarded to everyone who enters)

    Not a pet hate as such, just extra effort required.
    I'm just entering some of the Candis comps and the security question is like asking me to do sums :eek:

    They want me to answer " ? + 9 = 14" I mean I'm good at arithmetic but I've had a hard day at work & few bottles of lovely cider (from a win i might add). I should win purely for attempting to answer it... I'm actually using my fingers to count:rotfl::rotfl:
    Wine is made to be drunk, I am drunk, therefore am I wine?
