    Keep seeing a lady mention that she is a mum of 7 in her comp spiel. Can't knock her if she can find the time to comp as well!

    It would seem she cannot stop being "knocked".

    I'd just come on here to post about that :D

    You don't deserve to win just because you've knocked out more kids than the average. Really don't understand how you'd even find the time to comp.

    Heh, i was thinking the same thing the other day. That picture of her 7 kids will be forever burned into my retinas soon. It's EVERYWHERE, stalking me.

    Maybe i need to get the missus to pop out a few sprogs, might improve my win rate.

    This has always been a tongue in cheek thread but I've just seen my first reference to the tragedy in Manchester to win a FB competition and in all honesty its knocked me sick.
    Why do mice have such small balls?
    Because so few of them can dance.

    oh my, I want to say that I'm shocked, but in another way I'm not really surprised.
    I don't know what comp it is, but I hope at least one person takes whoever it is to task. Disgraceful.

    I saw one about Tuesday/Wednesday saying if she won, she'd give the prize to a women she knows who is the mother of one of the victims. Followed by the usual comments by people "you should win!" "If I win, I will donate the prize to you!" "XXX company give this person the prize!"


    I can't remember which comp it was.

    Just seen this lady on Twitter. Kitchen roll would be a treat apparently (or words to that effect)
    At least it isn't a sob story - still can't get over people using Monday's events to try and 'gain' an advantage.
