On the 16th of July, I won my very first GAD for the AI post. Finally, I have felt the thrill and excitement that many of have you have felt before. I have claimed GT3, despite saying I had bought it. The truth is, if I didn't find out I'd won by today I was going to get it anyway. I even had the cheque written out, but thanks to my good friend Dan2K1's very exuberant notifictaion, I now have claimed it instead. Rest assured SR, you will get your dosh as I'm going to buy Monkey Island 4 sooner or later.
In many ways, this GAD belongs to a lot of people. To The Game, for starting his "Give Turbonutter GT3" post. To Dringo, for posting many times last night "I can't believe you haven't won yet", to Bonus, for giving me the idea and of course, to Dan2K1, without whom I would have left for Harrogate without knowing about it.
Many newbies will probably say things such as "Why does he need to tell us that he won?", well for them, here's a brief description. Despite being one of SR's oldest members, registering a mere 4 days after the site was launched, I have never, ever won despite some very good tries that a lot of people has said are "GAD-worthy". I have almost become famous for it, and my lack of winning has cropped up a few times in my profiles other people have written.
Well, thank you all my friends for supporting me through these tough times. Thank you all. I suppose my next challenge will be getting my head through the door!
-Turbonutter
Now I am going to have to redo my user profile for him!!
Why did you have to win turbo!
> Turbonutters win is unfair.
He was awful mean to me.
Yeah i know he is, i have only been on the site for about eight days and i have seen him be like this to a lot of people. You still have to give him a bit of credit though cos he is now a winner, unlike me. Also he has been registered with the site a lot longer than me and i have been brought up to respect my elders. : )
Does that mean I'll have to redo your user profile?
*taps thresher behind his back and whistles*

> equipment)
Combine harvester?
Come to think of it, this topic has grown quickly. Something to do with the title? Possibly!
I just asked how long it would be before someone starts crying like a BIG GIRL?
Turbo posted a top post, and quite deservedly won.
And, in case anyone missed in my 1st post here:
Well done Turbo, nice one mate.
(anyone complains about his win gets beaten with farm equipment)
> Well done Turbo.
Certainly well deserved.
TONY!!! You have returned - please email I have a very important matter to discuss.
Many thanks, if and when you have the time to do so I would be most grateful.
