    I for one LOVE comping. I enjoy spending time on this forum, especially when I have the odd day off work and can spend most of the day chilling out and working my way through the posts. My career, studying, housework and relationship with my OH certainly don't suffer as a result (apart from perhaps the ironing hey gingim?)... not to mention the cycling, music, film watching etc etc.

    I suggest you have never been signed off from work by your doc unexpectedly. If you had you would realise that it is extremely frustrating, very boring, and never normally requested - a forum like this is a great way to meet and talk when you're not allowed to go to work (it certainly was with me back in April when I was off for two weeks).
    Life is all about the journey.

    Obviously you are after some kind of uproar about your rudeness, but I shall smile sweetly & just politely point out that there are many people on the forum who are unable to work for various medical issues.

    Thanks RCB thats the exact reason Im able to enter these comps, its not really feasable to goto work, progress my "Once" career when your pretty much housebound 80% of the time (Agoraphobic amongst other ailments)

    Fact is, if they're capable of entering 100 competitions a day, they seem capable of basic data admin / data input, rather than spending my tax money.

    Bit confused here...how is it that folks entering comps are spending your tax money....what tax money would that be...income tax?..VAT?...CIS?..Corporate tax?....just looking for clarification

    Anyway, was only asking if it's really worth all the spam and potential security risks with your personal informaiton :)

    Yes it is .... your information is out there already...makes no difference

    Got no quam with people who can afford not to work or who do it in their own time anyway :) Just not the lazy ones.

    Who exactly are the lazy ones........and how do you personally differenciate



    I enter well over 100 comps a day( evenings mainly)...I tend to do it in fits and spurts though when I have the time.....I don't get much spam at all.......a few but perfectly manageable

    Ok Ginjim - I will do your washing on the day I have been allocated, but I must point out my terms of employment for said job:

    1. Absolutely no Skids
    2. Vodka every hour on the hour
    3. Pie & Peas during my breaktime
    4. Very loud rock music, played at ear-bleedingly loud volumes whilst I work



    On another note :rolleyes: to nj106, who had a problem with people comping, I have to point out that not only am I a full-time mum, I also own a very successful Consultancy business.
    This, however does not stop me from enjoying the forum inbetween! Nuff said!!
    The Rock Chick, she say 'courtesy costs nowt' - spread the word! :D

    I am not spending your TAX money I am receiving benefits based on my National Insurance contributions that I payed into for god knows how many years before I fell ill.

    Reported you for trolling and generally being a retard.
