In my perfect world

… there would be an agreement on here that, when I see I a prize I really, really want, I could ask you nicely and no-one else would enter for it

… there would be a way to stop my Google alert for "Win MyHomeTown from returning endless football related pages

    Might work (very much doubt it) but in many/most cases the majority of entries don't come from MSE anyway.

    You can exclude certain words by putting a minus in front of a word, so -football or something might cut it down.
    TOP MONEYSAVING TIP

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

    Does anyone else long for any amendments to their comping world?

    I would stop anybody new from joining the comping world. That way we would be free from all those endless new compers questions.

    It would also mean more chance of long term compers winning and as people stopped comping the odds would get better and better. Eventually it would be me and my newt winning everything.
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

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