"Getting sick of complaining people"

"Why didn't I win gameday?"
"I've been here for 3 days and haven't won yet"

So what?
Who cares?

Sorry to sound harsh, but I'm fed up with reading moan after moan about "how it's not fair" and "my post was better".
If you didn't win, that's because someone else posted something better than you did.
Get over it.

It's been said over and over by so many people, don't post merely because you want to win.
It shows. Lengthy, dry and impersonal posts that read like a news bulletin.
Where as the ones that do win are personal, have something to say or are reviews/cheats.

I appreciate that you may have spent an age on a post, but that should be because you had something you wanted to say, not because you thought "Ha! That'll win"
And yes, I am aware that I have won a number of filmadays.
But twice I have had to be told I've won.
Why?
Because it never enters my head to try and win a bloody DVD or game, I don't bother to check the lists.
I've written lengthy posts that have taken me an age, but that's because I've had an opinion I wanted to share with people.

Take my last filmaday win for bullying.
Cooldogs posted his experience, someone else started a thread about bullying because of video games and Wookie added his thoughts.
I had something to say about it, and stuck it in the life forum to try and help someone that was going through the same thing, to try and make them realise that it was ok, that they shouldnt be suicidal or depressed.
I didn't think "Excellent, a worthy topic! I'm sure to win now!".

I understand that some people might be too young to buy their own games.
I've been there too, but now I'm 28 and can buy what I want, when I want.
But you know what?
When I couldn't, when it had to be my mum pay for one?
I waited.

Don't be so bloody greedy and start screaming when you don't win.
It even says in the rules "No complaining, nobody likes a whinger"

This forum has many, many articulate, amusing and interesting people. They win more than once.
Not because of any favouritism but because they post interesting stuff.

Meka and Grix post a lot of long, decent topics each day.
Do you hear them sob when they don't win?
No.

Learn a lesson from those that have the grace and dignity to realise that GAD and FAD are a privilege, not a right.

Thank you, rant over.

Nicotine: The drug which addicts you to ciggarettes.

Tar: Clogs up your lungs and makes them rock solid!

Carbon Monoxide: Uses up the room in your blood cells which are needed to carry oxygen to all the cells in the body!
In turn this means that your cells can't respire leaving you with a lac of energy, without energy your heart, which is a muscle stops pumping! DEADLY!

No, it is the nicotine which gives you the cancer, nicotine is a toxic substance made by plants to stop attacking parasites, animals and the like, if they consume it they die. Higher biology has come in useful after all.

dammit Dan, proving me wrong again!!!

So the Nicotine is the worst part of the cigarette because it makes you smoke it, kind of.

I am happy to say I have not posted one intelligent or thought-out post, so I am clearly NOT scrounging for a GAD.

Obviously it does, why do you think on the front of cigarette packets it warns you about getting cancer.

Tar and tobacco kills you and gives you smokers cough, can cause cancer and will take time off your life.

Nicotine is the addictive stuff in cigarettes. Damn Tobacconists. Killing the world.

nicotine gives u cancer? i thought it was harmless?

Nope nicotine doesnt do anything bad to your health, except give you cancer!!!!!!!!!!!

nicotine isnt bad for u though, and doesnt harm your health.

I don't promote drug usage at all, and to
> mention whether I have taken LSD is a matter for me and me
> alone.

Nicotine is a drug.
