    For some jam.

    I'm just a football widow,
    3 matches a day fills me with dread,
    My fella keeps on ignoring me,
    So I'll enter this competition instead.
    This prize is better than football,
    And better than a big, heavy, shiny cup,
    If I was to win this competition, I would be completely made up
    Why do mice have such small balls?
    Because so few of them can dance.

    You're supposed to enter by commenting with 3 emojis, any comments on your post invalidates your entry :think: :wall:

    (Some of them are just taking the p but some still post sob stories)

    That is so funny, they really are just going crazy with it on that one. I thought some of them were joking and then I realised that they weren't. I can clearly see my entry as it is just the emojis requested!

    No sob stories but idiots on a post plugging an in store freebie:

    "It might not be coming home this weekend but 23 football heroes will be and we're welcoming them home by giving away Pride the Lion's in store on Saturday, while stocks last."

    replies (after people pointing out footballs aren't heroes, esp compared to the cave rescuers, and the toys are unwanted stock leftover from the olympics) - "Would love to win this. So proud of the boys"
    "I love one to hug the toy despite England lost please"
    "Love to have your bear lovely prize to win I like and shared"

    "I would love to win this for my granddaughter, she'd love it.xx"

    plus variations on I'd love one yes please,

    A day after the offer ended - "I would love one but I haven't heard any think back to get one"
    "And suddenly I find myself listening to a man I've never known before,
    Telling me about the sea..."

    It's amazing, and quite depressing how many thick people are out there.

    "It would be lovely to win a fridge magnet thank you Kelloggs. I have been eating Kelloggs all my life I am nearly 70 they are to me the best breakfast ever thank you. kelloggs x"

    There is another The Range competition!:rotfl:
    2018 wins-12wins
  • Arrrgh - even SuperDeluxeEdition's niche music comps aren't immune.

    Comp is a sign up/visit their sites via gleam random picked thing for a set of signed stuff & orchestral versions/& re- recordings by Flock Of Seagulls. Doesn't even ask you to comment on the blog to enter.


    "Well, I bought a lottery ticket today for a half-billion jackpot, naturally the odds of winning are roughly one in half a billion so of course that didn’t work out. I assume my odds of winning this are therefore vastly more likely (unless SDE gets half a billion entries… )"

    "Oh my gosh I love this band and still have I RAN in my top 20 of all time would be amazing to win"
    -
    "i hope i win this time

    i never won anything in my life

    so i don`t know how it feels"

    -
    "Ooh, this is one I’d love to have! I never win anything though!"

    "hello! let me win this competition)"

    "Please let me win. I’d be ever so happy :-)"

    "I would like to hear these if I win! Well, maybe not acapella versions. That just seems odd to me."

    Off topic but funny cos it's true - "I see Mike Score has roughly signed the area of his head where the ‘classic’ hairstyle used to be!"
    "And suddenly I find myself listening to a man I've never known before,

    That one's alright if we imagine it's not anything to do with their entry, just a general comment on the prize.
