    Good luck with winning it! :)
    I did the same a few weeks back to win a dream kitchen so you're not alone! ;) I'm still hoping and preying they make that winning call to me!
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!
  • Thank you wingo.

    I don't think I will win, but I would have kicked myself if I didn't try.

    I really hope you get a lovely WTC for the kitchen :)

    I wish I'd had the time to write a coherent essay because that was one of the most interesting comps I'd seen. Gender issues are increasingly relevant, like with the recent Twitter/Austen debacle, and I'm glad the UN is making a concerted effort to be more inclusive. I could have written a whole bunch of stuff, but ack, my essay skills are a bit rusty these days! What is it you wrote about, if you don't mind me asking?

    Hope you win, custardcream (my favourite biccies!) :D
  • I bought something in a supermarket in Morocco just because it had a competition on the packaging. My husband just rolled his eyes :o

    I am also terrible at the supermarket. I have three full tubs of utterly butterly in my fridge and I am sure I will buy another :)

    Razza - I am sure your essay would not have been any worse than mine.

    Seriously interesting stuff - especially as written by a custard cream :D I would love to read a similar 'elevator pitch' on what you would've wanted to say about religious oppression - though not wanting to start any religious rows here.

    Fingers crossed for you re the comp.

    I think the closest I get to this is that sometimes I enter caption comps for prizes that I can't use, sell or give away. And before the flame gun is pointed at me, If I won I would ask them to give the prize to another entrant. I just really enjoy doing caption comps.

    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.
  • Blu you trouble maker..don't tempt me. I need to spend time entering comps, not defending my ideological position ;)

    I think you may be as barmy as me. You are more than welcome to enter caption competitions on my behalf as my efforts are pretty dire!

    I am afraid to saythat for August it will be sucking up to the Daily Star in an attempt to win one of the iphones they are giving away. Can only hope I win early on as it will kill me being sickly sweet to that pile of tat for a month :rotfl:
