    can't wait for the 'show us your tree' requests :rotfl:

    After the 'show us your tree' it will be 'Tell us your new year's resolution!' :eek:

    surely though the hope its okay to add bit is just being polite?

    maybe OP was going to go back and post up extras but someone beat them to it,, so they are saying hope its okay. some people may get offended that someone is stepping in...

    I particularly dislike 'it is what it is' and 'we are where we are'.

    Could go with:-

    "Here are the important bits like the T&C, the link to the actual competition, prize details which you clearly can't be bothered to post. No it's fine I'll do it because otherwise how am I going to get my post count up with you posting all the competitions?"

    That could help cut down the number of competitions posted and make it much easier to get through the board.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
