            OMG!
 I am actually shocked...
 And as of half an hour ago, still entering competitions.
 Just saw this article is from 2017Why do mice have such small balls?
 Because so few of them can dance.0

            I don't know where the competitions bit fits in, as the link says it was to do with false information about grants for double-glazing.
 However, as far as entering comps goes, you could equally send in multiple paper postcards for paper-based comps before, or even use 3rd parties to enter them automatically for you.0

            It doesn't say if they had to pay back those they scammed though. Their punishment was pretty mild as well considering what they had done scamming elderly and vulnerable people out of £50,000 0 0

            Disgusting can see with a quick fb search they've won quite a few things. Don't know what their allias's are0

            :eek:
 I guess the connection between this vile conning of vulnerable people and cheating is that it's a prime example of the lack of morals in comping being reflected in real life

 Was that them?Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
 Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
 (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)
 Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change0
