Professional Comper

mansey

So the phrase "Professional Comper" came up again today on another thread.
I Googled it and it came up with an old newspaper story of an MSE member, but it still did not enlighten me to what a "Professional Comper" is.

So I thought I would ask the MSE member what they thought.
Let us make a list of 20 things and if you fit into more than half at the end, then you can presume yourself a "Professional Comper"
(Please keep it funny:rotfl: )

1) Someone who sits doing competitions until they have a numb/square bum
2) Someone who sits comping untill they are so desperate for a wee that their back teeth are floating :eek:
3) Someone who only gets 4 hours sleep in December, but plans ahead with frozen dinners etc
4) Someone who has folders of pix named Easter, Mothers/Fathers day, Hallowe'en, Christmas, pets, children, holidays, Valentine,
5) Someone that enters vigorously to try and win a fish slice
6) Someone who constantly checks their email(s) throughout the day in hope a WEM has appeared!
7) Someone who will trawl through page after page after page to find just one more sodding hummingbird
8) Somebody who puts comper under profession on their passport
9) Anybody who has an imaginary "pet" for comping only
10) Anybody who has imaginary "children" for comping.
11) Someone who keeps all of those congratulatory winners letters in a folder
12) Someone who sees a delivery van coming and gets the grumps when the driver goes next door
13) Somebody who gets asked by family/friends "so, what have you won recently?" each time you see them
14) Someone who gives up there Job! Because they can afford to live off just there prizes
15) Someone who says no to their children when they ask for sweets but then realise it has a competition on the packet so they give in!
