    Hi there, when I post competitions, I usually just post what is in the tweet itself to avoid duping and because I don't usually have enough time to find out (usually comping in a rush.) But you're welcome to post what kind of alcohol it is :)

    how rude :/



    I appreciate your comments, but I find people's comments on this thread rude and unnecessary, i've taken the time to post these and if people don't want to enter don't have to, but no need to post derogatory comments.

    If I have offended anyone, I apologize.

    Sorry to bump, but I think you are the rude one mrbumfart.
    Charcharcharchar had the decency to post a comp as it was listed, and even had time to answer questions, just to get called rude for replying to a post.
    Charcharcharchar you have nothing to apologise for.
    Thanks for the post, and hopefully mrbumfart will apologise to you for their post.......
    Rant over.

    From a completely neutral position in this, can I just say that this is definitely the funniest line I've ever read on this whole forum:
    Sorry to bump, but I think you are the rude one mrbumfart.

    Honestly, whatever is going on, you HAVE to stop and see how hilarious that is.

    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Excuse me catswiththumbs but that's your opinion and mine was that compers on here give each other advice about whether to enter or not and I thought it was useful to know that they were being vague so that other would not want to click hence saving time.
    I didn't agree with Charcharcharchar's reply but she apologized and very nicely so, there is no need to bump the post and I certainly won't be apologizing

    Good day
    Breaking this rule but:-
    FYI- This is a board to post competitions, not a board to offer advice on whether or not one should enter.
    FYI- Charcharcharchar was not vague (if you bothered to actually visit the competition), she included as much information as was given out by the Competition sponsor.
    FYI- You wish to save time yet you are quite happy for someone else to spend time finding and posting competitions- HOW RUDE!!!

    I suggest you re- read the posts.
    Charcharchachar posted the comp.
    She was then asked what type of alcohol etc.
    She answered that post politely.
    The next post agreed that it wasn't Charcharcharchars post but the competition prize and that they wouldn't be bothered tweeting.
    Now here is where you have suggested that Charcharcharchar is rude- "alright, well thanks for letting me know..."
    How in your head do you turn that into being rude, and why can you not apologise for calling Charcharcharchar rude?

    You quoted that it was your opinion and that you would not apologise.
    Stubborn, but you' re forgetting that you have denied Charcharcharchar her right to post her opinion of the previous posters post without getting called rude for it. She apologised, why can't you????

    Here's a quote for Blulu:
    Man up mrbumfart. Say Sorry.

    Hi. Thank you for your post. I will enter anything that has the word 'alcohol' in the title, no matter what it is! :)
  • Hi Lisa, thanks for the positive comment around all these negative ones.

    Apologies if I didn't make the tweet clear or whatever. I'm sure you will have gotten over it by now.
    :)

    Thanks to CatwithThumbs for the defence :)
