  • Q: Tell us why you deserve to win.

    A: Cos I'm a greedy git and want to sell the prize on ebay

    I reckon that answer wouldn't win but is more likely to be the truth in alot of cases ;-)

    I'm not sure companies would act on 'information received' even if they wrote back and implied they would. It's just hearsay after all. If someone wrote to me and tried to tell my who shouldn't win my competition I think I'd just click delete.

  • When asked to comment on such things, i don't even bother reading others comments. Just comment myself, leave and forget about it. It's easier that way.

    Another thing that annoys me is bloggers who refer to 'make up hauls' as if they dug it up somewhere rather than compulsively buying it even though they already have plenty.

    I agree toni, and as both you and i know some folk havent been as lucky as me and you, but cheating is still cheating,
    im sorry but i believe in honesty and cheating i akin to doing something criminal, the law says ---
    ''obtaining pecuniary advantage by deception, contrary to section 16 of the Theft Act 1968''

    Might be comping but its still technically a criminal offence if you are knowingly trying to do that..

    Anyway i havent come to argue, just saying i would have no hesistation outing a cheat again,
    whether im enetering that particular comp or not, thats all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


    Sounds to me you are just bitter at others winning. How are you to know if people are cheating? Some people may have kids just not announce it on MSE or have photos of them on their fb cos you never know who might see them.

    Either way you clearly have too much time on your hands.

    yep, that irritates me too - that and putting big prizes into the MSE email. There's already enough compers and not enough prizes, so don't encourage more!!!! :rotfl:
