  • I hate these stories too, but even worse is whenever there is a sob story followed a picture of the family plus the pet dog, cat and chickens which takes up the whole page! Ah!

    Competition to win a basket of pens

    ONLY requirements
    • Like the post
    • Enter three smiley faces in the comments

    It says specifically that anyone putting more in the comments than those three faces will not be eligible to win.

    Guess what happens next...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Typical :rotfl:Some that have actually bothered to put the faces...have put the wrong ones! On the subject of emoji's, mine keep posting rather large in size, not the small faces they should be. Any idea why anyone? and this won't affect my entry will it?

    Spotted in the comments: "<tagged name>amazing to see how many people don't read to the end ... I can't participate but figured you might like to? Remember to put JUST the emojis though"
    replies: "I was thinking the same reading through the comments";
    "Shhhh!!! you'll ruin my chances!! Ha";
    "Awww what? And miss the chance of a sob story??"
    "Shhhh dont tell them. More chance for us to win"
    "I couldn't think of a sob story if I tried I just want the pens"

    Also: "<the 3 smileys> Yes yes yes please what a fab give away for all us rockers.. Happy rock painting and will also put a smile on the finders faces too. <the 3 smileys again> " - same person replying to themselves "Liked and shared really need these <the 3 smileys yet again> ".


    My smileys have gone all large for no reason too - bah.

    Another Range comp (cool box), exactly the same rules, exactly the same result. Except that one comment has the 3 smileys, THEN goes on 'Does anyone ever actually win these things'
    I simply could not resist replying...

    It's because there is no text on the same line, if you add text they go small, they are still the same emoji's though so don't worry as they should still be counted
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
