[FONT=&quot]Congratulations! We are delighted to inform you that you are one of our 15 golden key winners of the King’s Ransom treasure hunt, and would like to invite you to attend our grand final on 14 September


Well life is really giving me a kick today :(, I won a golden key...was over the moon,...spoke to them and all was good.

Bad news is...i suffer from a brain problem..( lots of dif acronyms !!) but the bottom line is, I cant go into public, cant be around unfamiliar places..or I have massive seisures, I rung my neurologist ( I knew the answer, but had to try) and he said nope, there is no way in hell you can even try it :( anyway I hope they give it to someone from here, as I have declined the offer.

Sad day for me :(

But thank you for posting [/FONT]fnc63.

    Why did you enter it then? It clearly said winners will be invited to a secret location... even the runner up prizes were meals out and weekends away.

    jmilli2 - have you not heard of the saying 'If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all'?

    Sourge - I hope you win something else soon.

    I have. It's a stupid saying. If I were to follow it's suggestion I would never be able to ask any questions without prefacing it with something like 'I imagine your hair looks nice today' or 'Your use of punctuation is especially nice on the eyes today'. As it is I think I'll continue asking perfectly reasonable questions.
