Him and I were talking to his friends about his GAD win and everyone was quite pleased, but he told me yesterday that some people actually asked him to win them a GAD!? Some people have a real cheek. According to one of the people "Any other friend would do it". Pah!
Some people say "Just don't tell them about GAD", but I like to tell them, and gloat to my enemies. Dave and myself have both been pestered by people to win GAD's and it one of the most annoying experiences in your school/college career. It appears that age does nothing for it, as I had some of my college buddies asking me too! Good god!
Anyone else ever been asked for someone to win GAD for them?
On a slightly lighter note, I was just asking some people if they heard the tragic news about Feeder, and nobody even knew who Feeder were! Disgraceful! Thanks. Mark.
"I told someone today that they should be getting an Xbox.
It wasn't simply because they live down the road!"
Heh, I've done that too.
But I've been asked to win games several times too... silly lazy people.
(Caught cheating in other words!)
I have enough problems raising money to buy my games so i'm gonna take every opportunity I can to get myself a free game every now and then!
I told them to go win their own.
Still, I'm not much better.
I told someone today that they should be getting an Xbox.
It wasn't simply because they live down the road! Honest! ;-D
All they have to do is put the effort in, but instead they just moan that they havent got any.
I've given up telling them now, they only moan.

I'd say to them if you want to win GAD you are going to have to win it
> honourably just like the rest of us.
I'm not doing it - I am not a mug! Correctamondo - if they want a GAD so bad, they have to work for it. However, if someone writes a review and gives it to me (after a check to see it's not copied), I will submit it and if it wins GAD, give him the GAD, or I could say I couldn't submit and be evil behind his back.
I prefer the latter!
Besides I wouldn't so it for them anyway.
I'd say to them if you want to win GAD you are going to have to win it honourably just like the rest of us.
