    A certain account on FB that is posting "Fix!" when the winner is announced and it isn't them...

    Is it someone who gets mentioned on here, or is it just someone suffering from sour grapes?
    TBH, it hardly surprises me, but what does is that no-one has started saying it sooner. Some jealous peeps about.
    Wait till Christmas, like the other year when someone was moaning that because others were doing the advent competitions, they and their friends weren't winning. :rotfl: They forgot that they did well throughout the year. It was one of the funniest (but rather insulting) things I'd read on FB all year.

    I think it's a case of sour grapes :) can't people just be happy for others? I missed most of the advent last years due to illness, so it seems I missed that particular post! what happened to the season of cheer and goodwill?!

    It was on FB, on one of those winners pages (one of the bigger ones). I think you might be still able to view it if you have a good root.
    I think someone begged enough and actually won the season of goodwill, etc. And why not?, every else seems to be up for grabs during that time of year :rotfl:

    I think I need to start writing sob stories about how upset I am by reading all these ruddy sob stories and how I need a year's supply of everything so I don't have to enter any FB comps for a year so I can have a break from the damn things.

    So the latest thing I've noticed is people commenting lots of time on the same post to try and get mulitple entries, when the comp doesn't say this is allowed. https://www.facebook.com/prizequestar/posts/306717019800252

    Also noticed on instagram I get tagged by people on comps I have already entered, and notice that they tag everyone who is already entered to get more entries. I block these people.

    So sad, to see such desperation and unsporting behaviour imo.

    Never has a Smilie been more appropriate when looking at that FB page :spam::spam::spam::spam::spam::spam::spam::spam: :rotfl:

    I'm sure I read on one of their many 'wonderful son' posts that he is visiting soon, or maybe he is already here.
    Get ready for lots of pictures popping up shortly :rotfl:

    I saw one comper enter a photo comp a few days ago. It was a photo of London, knew she didn't live here, so asked her about it. She'd photoshopped it from someone else's photo:eek:.

    Surprised because prize wise she had been doing so well. People really need to resort to cheating when they'd been winning lots?
