  • I'm getting a headache with how many times I've already rolled my eyes today. I did, however, get a good laugh at someone's 'joke beg' post involving a cat slipping on a mouldy banana peel. :rotfl:


    Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

    It won't be long till the real fun starts though.
    We should have a bit of a competition on here to find the best sob story, photo, begging post over the Christmas Advent period. We are going to be spoilt for choice
    Although I don't think you can't beat the sob story that was on the FB winners page a few years ago, when someone moaned that none of the regulars were winning, but people who never did comps were. Hilarious, but maddening at the same time. I think some of those regulars do very well throughout the year.
    Be Lucky
    BEST EVER WINS WON IN ORDER (so far) = Sony Camcorder, 32" lcd telly, micro ipod hifi, Ipod Nano, Playstation 3, Andrex Jackpup, Holiday to USA, nintendo wii, Liverpool vs Everton tickets, £250 Reward Your thirst, £500 Pepsi, p&o rotterdam trip, perfume hamper, Dr Who stamp set, steam cleaner.

    comping = nowt more thrillin' than winnin':T :j
  • Message from the MSE Forum Team:

    Hi all, we have closed this thread as we have had some reports from people who consider the posts unfriendly.

    Please can we ask one of the regulars amongst you to start a "Part 2" - but bearing in mind that MSE should be a friendly place for everyone to seek support and join in.

    Posting about users from other sites is a little unfair so please do avoid discussing users who are not here to join in the conversation.

    Thanks!
