Obviously not suggesting that is the case, for that would be cynical and world-weary of me.
I mean, I haven't seen anyone complain and moan about "just wanting to win a (game/film)aday" and then...how odd...they win.
And I'm sure Rakuga and Blackhole would agree that I would be overly cynical to suggest such a thing.
Nor would I suggest that the DVD forum has seen a massive increase in posters lately because someone claimed it was easier than the gameaday win.
Nor would I ever highlight that the opening of the most recent win about Trekkies being geeks and Star Wars fans being normal and well adjusted people has been raised here several times, almost word for word by...say...oh I dont know...me? (Star Trek Vs Star Wars - 23/3/01):
"Star Wars Fans: Intelligent, well balanced individuals that remember their childhood being defined by those words scrolling up the screen and being entranced forever. (apart from the Phantom Menace, but not even Star Wars was Star Wars when it 1st came out).
Star Trek Fans: Unhinged, Net obsessed, late-teens to mid-twenties white geekboys unable to form relationships with the opposite sex so they debate who would win? Kirk or the Bald One.
There are marginal fans of each film, those that watch them when they’re on at Xmas and have the videos, and those that dress-up like the characters and attend conventions to get autographs from minor characters that nobody remembers.
However, if you go to conventions dressed like them:
You ARE sad
If you learn Klingon:
You ARE sad
If you buy those technical blueprint books:
You ARE sad
May I suggest you watch Galaxy Quest to see just how seriously people take hardcore sci-fi fans"
And before people start moaning, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't care whether I win or not, I have done in the past without meaning to and I'll post long after any offer of free stuff has gone.
So..er..."blah blah blah, it's not fair, I post loads and loads and never seem to win anything...blah blah blah"
Cheers, I'll have The Erotic Witch Project.

Read it again.
It was co-wrote, ie: a joint effort. Just because i didn`t write it all myself does not mean i cannot ask others for their opinions to help me. I`m certainly not a "moaning idiot", and as i`ve already stated elsewhere in this thread, the question i raised was done purely because no-one had asked it before. Surely thats what a topical forum is for?.
I suppose if i hadn`t asked it, whoever else did would also be a "moaning idiot" would they...?
And your saying your not bitter or jealous, hmmm....

DUR! read that again, did i say my posts?
No, it reads "the forums" ie: that i have been reading ALL the other catagories and entries.
I apologise to Chimps the world over.
Pathetic.
Certainly not worthy of a 'chimp' tag.
Why is this?
Are you unhappy with your life in some way?
Go tell someone that cares.

"scum"
I thought someone with your amazing breadth of mind would have the decency to come up with a larger vocabulary.

Before you say it, I am certainly not jealous or bitter that you won -you DID post a good review. It's just a shame that a) you had to moan first and b) you didn't write it yourself.
