Such an copy and paste link for competitions! I had to restrain myself from posting my own...

It always makes me laugh this piccy 'cos I'm convinced that Little Britain used my cousin as inspiration for the Vicky Pollard character. Mainly 'cos my cousin used to have the same hair, trackie top, and a few kids :eek::eek:. Right down to the fact that me and me Mam used to hide if we saw her in Town. :rotfl: It didn't work though, she always found us :eek:
Embarrassing really. The old adage is true - you can pick your friends....etc,etc.

When you see the same cut and paste comments complete with the same spelling error used for every competition its a tad eye rolling, but its amusing when you see someone on the 'win a years supply of toilet paper' comp say "Exciitng Such lovely prize to offer" (sic), for loo rolls! Useful maybe, but exciting? I'm also wondering if the person that posts she has 'dreamed' of winning every prize has omitted that bit for the loo roll comp... unless of course she does actually dream of winning toilet paper.... _pale_ which might be slightly disturbing :rotfl: Ah well, nowt so queer as folk, as they say

I doubt it. She used the same wording to win things like soup (but she also posted that it was a big birthday too) Until some people called her on it :rotfl: Copy & paste is such a useful (and annoying) tool to have :rotfl:

A lot of it's not copy and paste. It's text shortcuts on phones. Can set it so that type two letters writes a full paragraph for you. I use it instead of auto fill so dg does my name, dge my email etc

I once won a year's supply of loo roll and tbh it was a nightmare as they sent the whole lot in one go so I store most of the rolls in the loft! :eek: PS It is not me who is cutting and pasting the text described in the above posts!

That's me lost. When it comes to phones, I can make/take calls, do a bit of texting & photos. And that's me done.*

EDIT -p.s, surely some of those phones have auto correct? I have to admit had seeing 'Wot a lovely prize....' instead of it spelt 'What' makes me cringe.
That's all, carry on

The mum of 7 has struck again! Direct cosmetics FB for some Viktor & Rolf perfume- it literally says for a chance to win comment " love flowerbomb"

I won a years supply and they sent me a load of vouchers. I wouldn't have minded, but you always get one person at the supermarket till who scrutinises money off vouchers and holds everything and everybody up.
It's not a bad win though is it? Considering the price of bog rolls. It's just the comments and lengths that people will go to to win some. I'm astounded that no-one has posted a picture of them sat on the lav............. I've given someone ideas now, haven't I? :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:
