I have a few questions

Hopefully it hasn't been asked before.

How far can the comping fairy travel and how long can it take the comping fairy to come back?

I think my comping fairy as traveled to Barcelona or Madrid. If her lucky dust doesn't get stolen then I may have a win tomorrow if she gets back in time.

Why do people say comping fairy? Why not comping wizard?

    because it's a female-dominated environment ...?

    The comping fairy can travel to the post box and back.

    She isn't your comping fairy she belongs to all the good compers who believe in her.

    A comping wizard? Really? No. Luck is a lady and so is the comping fairy.

    Santa sucks...

  • So if I believed in her she would come to me. I am really curious, is she as magical as the tooth fairy and able to travel around the world in one night. I understand she is separate to the tooth fairy because you can get fairies for different things that not everyone will know about. Is she only known to UK Compers or US, Australian and Canadian or other country Compers too?
  • She's been locked in my basement this past week granting my wishes and she has done very well. Just one more on my list to go that ends at 5pm tomorrow. I'll free her after that so she will be available to travel again.

    I vaguely remember a guy called the post man who used to stop by every so often. I think he's bogged off to Madrid with your fairy. No wonder the price of stamps keeps going up.

  • She must be so busy if there is only one comping fairy in the world though or coukd there be more.
  • Ok, she delivered on that iPad win announcement I was waiting on today - so I've let her out. Text her and she might come your way.
  • I've texted COMPFAIRY to 77077 maybe she will come my way.
