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.

Hey Mea, that is some great news guy! Good luck with the new toy, now we wont even see you anymore on Chaos once you bought yourself a cool game right? 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.
