It closed, is what happen to it!
Actually you beat me to it as I was thinking of posting another of my, "Give me my shiny new toy" posts. No doubt DennisN will be here soon to tell me it's not mine to shine. _________________ Dom

Nah - I didn't want one of them things. I mean, who wants a TomTom ONE for goodness sake? I've got two which are 719 times better and I've even got one which is 919 times better!
Now, if they'd had a 930 I'd have been interested.
Mind you, mostdom drives some weird sort of satnav, so I suppose a ONE is bound to be an improvement for him. Good luck Mr Cheerful, you might get it in time to make sure you don't get lost on the way to the PGPSW Meet and Greet, Get together, & Dinner, Weekend. _________________ Dennis

Too late, Darren flogged them on eBay to help finance the new car stickers.
Hence, instead of making 2 people happy with competition prizes, he makes everybody happy with car stickers
Or, is it a case of the PGPSW clock not having caught up with the '21 days' yet? _________________ Andy

Good question, I don't handle the comps personally but I'll find out. There may be a slight delay as Rob is in the US on PGPS business. _________________ Darren Griffin |

You know me! Anything free and not nailed down.
Nice plug with the meet and greet link! _________________ Dom

The CD containing the winners' details has been lost by HMRC
Patience is a virtue
It may, however, be worth the team re-phrasing the competition details to say something like
"Winners will be announced when details of the next competition are posted"
instead of tying themselves to '21 days' and have members chasing prizes they may not have won
edit- correct typo _________________ Andy

I NEVER chase prizes I may not have won. I only ever chase prizes I HAVE won, but which have been handed over to girlies, supermen and Lifeboat chasers quite in conflict with my interests. _________________ Dennis

They don't give prizes to white van men, Black Dyke fanciers or people who ought to get out more
You're still sulking 'cos Anita got 'your' prize
...didn't your parents ever say "stop crying, or we'll give you something to cry about"? _________________ Andy

But you would say that, seeing as you HAVE already won a prize! When I win my prize I too can say 'I'm really not interested in winning'! _________________ Dom

Sorry, we're taking a bit longer than usual in sorting the next competition.
MikeB, who is arranging the next prize, had to go on an unexpected business trip, but will be back on Tuesday. Won't be long now, honest _________________ Robert Brady |

No, it was "Stop crying, or I'll make you cry on the other side of your face!" Quote: | Sorry, we're taking a bit longer than usual in sorting the next competition.

Well, all I can say is I hope he comes back with loads of GO930s for me to win.
INSTANT EDIT - I hope he comes back with loads of working GO930s for me to win. _________________ Dennis
