TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition #3!
Yes, we’re back with a third and final TV’s Worst Adverts First Birthday Competition!
After the success of the first two competitions I thought it was only fair to see TWA’s first anniversary month out with a bang.
So here it is.
As always, we’ll start with the prizes.
The Prizes
This time you’ll be amazed to hear that the prize bundle doesn’t just consist of more random crap.
Woo! Not just more random crap! Yeah!
No, this time, thanks to those extremely generous folks from Foxy Bingo, the first prize winner will get a £100 credit to use over at foxybingo.com as well as a bag of Foxes Glacier Mints (paid for from my very own pocket).
The second prize winner will receive a copy of Good Times - The Very Best of Chic and Sister Sledge and a bag of Foxes Glacier Mints (again paid for from my very own pocket).
Finally, third prize winner will receive a bag of Foxes Glacier Mints (also paid for from my very own pocket).
That’s some mighty fine prizes, I think you’ll agree.
The Competition
The competition is pretty straight forward.
To win the prizes I want you to guess which number house I live at.
Do you see? Do you see what I’ve done there? House? Bingo? Oh forget it.
Anyway, leave your guess in the comments below.
You can guess as many times as you like but I’m only going to count your first guess, so make it a lucky one!
To help you out my house number is somewhere between 1 and 90.
How to Win
So, leave a comment on this post with your guess at my house number.
The person closest to the number will win first prize. The person second closest will win second prize and - guess what? - the person third closest will win third prize.
If it’s a tie, I’ll put the names in a hat and pull the winners at random. The first person out of the hat will win first prize. The second person out of the hat will win… oh, you get it.
Once we have the winners I’ll drop each of you an e-mail to get your home address so please don’t leave any contact details other than a valid e-mail address in the comment.
The closing date for the competition is the 31st March 2008. So you’ve only got a week and a day to enter…
Competition Terms
As there’s a proper prize this time I have to let you know about some terms.
To win the £100 Foxy Bingo credit you must have, or create, an account at foxybingo.com. This credit can only be used at foxybingo.com - so you can’t just cash in once you’ve been credited (sorry).
Please check out the Foxy Bingo site for full terms and conditions about using foxybingo.com.
If by entering this competition you become addicted to gambling, please visit the Gamble Aware site for help.
If by entering this competition you become addicted to Foxes Glacier Mints, you’re on your own.
Again, sorry to my mates, they can’t enter but the might again like to play along at home…
Props
Obviously, I’d like to say a big “thank you” to the guys at Foxy Bingo for supplying the prize.
Cheers!

@Jonny - I hope they still make them or 3rd prize is going to be rubbish!
@Rumplethumps - Excellent use of Bingo Slang… sadly there are no bonus prizes, I’m afraid.

Ha, yes… obviously I checked that before posting the competition and, what can I say, other than sometimes people move, Noddy.
Keep those guesses coming, folks.

Noddy, that is a terrible slur, to suggest I would stoop to such an underhand way of winning a competition !
Bugger ! He’s moved, cheats really DONT prosper !
In that case, can I have another go, and say ummmm…..42 !

@Rumplethumps - now this is my bad, because I forgot to add it to the rules above - but I run a “one guess only” policy here. Sorry matie.
Good use of the internet though

I meant 64; although I do feel it is oppressive to limit my choice to 90.
