Well dang it all ... yesterday my mobile phone kept ringing every hour, not knowing the number and it being a sydney number I didn't bother to answer .... but after the third time I got fed up, so I called the number back ... here's what happened: Other person: Hello this is Katherine me: erm well you have called me three times today, and I wondered if perhaps you had the wrong number? Katherine: ahh whats your name? me: (cautiously) Mea! <Name changed cause I am paranoid with my real life on the net> Katherine: Aha! do you live <address> ? me: erm yup, but who are you ?? (now thinking it is some sort of telemarketing ploy) Katherine: Oh I am from Dell and I just wanted to let you know (NOW I am certain it is a telemarketing call) that you have won an Xbox 360 with compliments of Dell!! me: huh! wot? how? (real intelligent question that) Katherine: oh you entered the xmas competition on our Dell website and you have won!! me: really  Katherine: yes really! me: Oh thank you I appreciate that! Katherine: could I confirm some details plz? me: blah yes blah blah yes moral of the story; when you enter a competition on the net make sure you use firefox and have the page set to auto reload every 10 seconds, then make a cup of coffee and let it sit for an hour, it is the winning combination  Yay!! |

Normally I'd be jealous... but since it's just the Sexbox 360, I pray for your eternal soul.

You lucky bastardo LOL thanks all but to tell you the truth I aint very Lucky .... in my 52 years of living I have won exactly 2 things the Xbox and 10 years ago tickets to a new year ball at the Hilton that was a Big flop And don't worry I wont be using it to play games .... it is way to much trouble to cheat on an Xbox as compared to a PC ;D |

for the rest of the guys here who think they're forever youthful, please check your prostates. ;D midlife might come a bit too early. ;D @ Mea -> better to have won twice with the first being not much of anything than not win anything at all. as for me, i still have no idea how it's like to win something ... anything. |
