    I had no idea it even existed until someone at my school years ago started talking about going to a rave where "happy hardcore" was playing (unless that was some sort or euphemism...!)

    I'm more into rock and metal myself. :A

    Oh PLEASE let it be some dodgy euphemism! LOL

    No 6. I only enter the comps that I really want to win.

    I've never actually won any of them yet and probably never will (I'm not lucky that way) but I keep plugging away.

    I don't actually scan the comps board but I sometimes see a comp that might interest me as I am doing a general search of 'Todays Posts'

    No! You're not that lucky that way - yet! To be honest I too only enter comps I really want to win too, just seems I want an awful lot! :o

    I'm just a casual comper.

    I pop in & post the odd comp & enter a few.I don't win that many though.

    Note to self : Stop kidding oneself :-) The above is all lies :-)

    I'm a bit busy with the comping actually :-)

    LOL!!! Outrageous lies Weeowens!!! You are a star poster! Now get back to your comping!!!! ;)

    I am a 5 yes, I often return home from a 12 hour shift and start comping (as I am now in fact!)....and I think my colleagues are confused about why I keep winning tickets to events. I don't think they realise it is from hours sat at the laptop.


    This has tickled me lots, when I won tickets to see Primal Scream my brother seemed to think I had been dabbling in some kind of unspeakable magic - lol - when in fact it was actually endless hours staring at a tiny screen!

    But I kind of like the idea he thinks it was some kind of hocus pocus!

    Non-compers often think it is a dark art.One colleague commented that no one ever won these comps but my five days in NY & a week in Vancouver soon cleared that mist from his eyes :-)
    Plus the fishing gear that I gave to him & the other wins that I just had to mention to him.:rotfl:
