I sent an email 10 days ago asking for Perfect Dark. The email was received and notified on the winners board. Yet they STILL haven't got round to sending the game yet!
Unless Ali likes to personally design every certificate, search the warehouse for the game, wrap it all up himself and personally deliver it then I don't think that it should take this long.
I don't mean to complain (it is a free game after all) but shouldn't winning games be treated like normal orders which arrive within 3 or four days after sending or when the games released?

How did my birthplace remind you of me drawing the Sheep?
...Humm...
: )
Anyway, thank you very much. I would write an acceptance speech, but I'm too tired.
Ta anyway.

It is a large town just outside Glasgow (if you don't know where that is you are thick) it has a population of 80,000 and was founded in 1948, a new town designed after the war! and was voted best town in Scotland for the millenium!
There you go :)
There you go :)
East what?! i live not inside London just in a smaller town area near London.
Grix you won the great sheep drawing contest by the way! I live in EAST KILBRIDE!
You really come from Wales?!
I'm in London!
I'm in London!
Actually, I think I saw Ali running past my house as he threw the game at my window.
I shouted out thank you, but he didn't seem very pleased...
It's not suprising really, when I live in the bottom left corner of Wales...

AH! I see now.
Only two people work at SR! That's why everything takes long to deliver!
Poor Ali has to drive his large red truck over to the docks, and pick up the supply of games for the week.
He then has to remove all the "remove this sticker first" label on all the games. Not an easy job, considering it's stuck down with aryldite, and he's driving at the time.
After doing this, and cleaning the boxes to get rid of the glue marks, he then continues to start sending them off.
He takes the first order from his office, the public toliets.
First he has to copy the details from the credit card accounts on to a piece of paper, and run down the bank, which is five miles away.
He always carries his mobile phone with him, for customer services and taking orders.
After he checks that the details are ok, he then proceeds to run back to SR headquarters. Which happen to be in the middle of a marsh. With a minefield in.
He runs in, and Tony, who took over the truck driving for the last few metres, shouts at him for being late.
He picks up the game, and checks the address.
He then runs to the address, and personnally delivers the game. He would take the truck, but Tony needs it to go down town to get a coffee.
Everynow and again, someone offers to pick Ali up, and bring him a few miles closer to the address.
Ali passes the time by reading the game booklet, which explains why the boxes are always open. : )
There was this one time, when Ali was knocked down by a large red truck. Ali swore it had the initials "SR" on the side, by Tony keeps telling him it's his imagination.
He was carring a Dreamcast game for someone at the time, and it accidently got smashed when he collapsed when he tried to get to the address with both his legs broken and plastered.
He actually fell in the sea, and managed to drift to his location by his legs keeping him afloat. Unfortuantly this meant his head was stuck under water, he managed to work out a process of using a rubber tube to get air from the surface, and then breathe it by trapping it under water.
Nobody has the courage to tell him what the "rubber tube" was yet...
After Ali delivers the game, and manages to get back, he reports to Tony, still drinking his coffee, which he says is too hot to drink fast, and Tony tells him to go and write the magazine.
By sellotaping a tray to his stomach, Ali manages to deliver all games out safely, well safe for the games anyway, and also manages to write out the magazine while he's running.
Unfortuantly, he had to abandon that idea, after he ran into the annual acid juggling contest, and was forced to stay in bed for three months.
Not that it stopped him from delivering though...
By adding a motor from a grass-mower to his bed, which he managed to save up from the shiny pennies that Tony gives him for every game he delivers, he can now travel in style, and in bed.
This also allows him to carry his work around with him, so he can head directly to another address straight after finishing with another address.
Unfortuatly again, the wonderful invention known as the bed is designed for one thing in mind.
Sleep.
Ali woke up in Japan, with a large hangover and his arms handcuffed to the bed posts.
To make up the money, Ali had to sell his bed, and... other things.
Ali arrives back every day at about 10:00pm, and starts filtering though the forums.
I suppose you can understand why he gets annoyed now, can't you?
