    Mentioning a miscarriage to win a bottle of Bourbon. How is that a romantic comment?
    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

    Why even mention things like that on FB? :(

    But haven't seen the bended knee man...... Judging from the above comments not sure how I've missed it. Keeping a look out now tho :eek:

    I take it back, I've just seen half a dozen entries from both 'mum and dad' in quick succession.... bet it'll be like having a new car, suddenly you see them everywhere :rotfl::rotfl:

    This thread's great!
    I noticed the proposing son photo is also used on a Spabreaks FB comp, and his wife has entered too, although she didn't post a pic.
  • It started to miff me the amount of times I saw the same posts pop up so I blocked the person who cuts and pastes the exact same text for every comp in which they state they have 'dreamed' of winning said prize, regardless of what it is. :doh:

    That, plus I know I shouldn't be overly cynical, but often when I see duplicated posts over & over it just makes me think perhaps people don't actually want to win the specific prize, but rather they seem to just enter almost en-masse for absolutely anything going and use the same pre-written, often crawly comment (complete with the same spelling errors :rotfl: ) sometimes to the point they have clearly not read the comp requirements and do not give a relevant answer :undecided Too wrapped up in faux fawning maybe?

    Ahh well, we all have our own quirks that likely irritate others, eh? ;)
  • The woman with the son on bended knee is back today with a new 'official engagement photo' :o Still wanting to win whatever it is for her son's wedding, roll on March and with any luck he'll persuade her to stay there with them! :rotfl:

    Y'know those gushing, emoji-ridden begging posts?
    What really pees the posters of them off is if folk C&P them....
