    Tiggy, here’s what it had to do with you.

    You quoted dolflip, and used emticons which indicated you were in agreement with them, my reply was equally as much to them as you, but more so them, however, I addressed you by name ( and not them ) as yours was the last post. Rather than me quoting them, which would have meant a repeat quote soon after the original post, making it effectively 3 times that post was made, I preferred to simply address it to you. See? It’s quite simple, in a complicated kinda way.

    Tiggy, I’ll give it a miss, but if others enjoy it then all well and good.

    I think what I dislike about making it a regular thing is it smacks to much of a chat-programme. Fair enough, we have regular quiz nights in the quiz room, and I participate sometimes, but at least I know that the quiz room is specifically for that purpose. The 40s room attracts a lot of passing chatters and though some new visitors might find the theme night interesting and enjoyable, I think that most would not. If I was new, and entering a room or site for the first time, and finding myself in any kind of theme room or chat theme, I think I’d find it a bit difficult to join in the same way I would in the 40s room on a normal night. I may be wrong, I don’t know, it’s only an opinion.

    As for no arguments during the time the theme went on, I don’t necessarily agree that’s a good thing, it really depends on what the argument is, and who is arguing. Some of us enjoy an argument.

    I have an aversion to being treated as though I’m part of an organised group, like being on a package tour bus trip, with a pre-arranged entertainment programme or events programme lined up for me, so as far as I’m concerned,

    stick yer theme night up yer a r s e s.

    I will, thank you!

    You could write out a will, or have yer solicitor do it, then roll it up into a tube, then stick yer finger in it.

    #195673

    I dunno! But you can plug yer fingers straight into the wall socket. All you need is fingers, and the will.

    Yeah ruby, I bred Budgies for a few years, long time back. As you say, they withdraw to the back of the cage kinda thing, sensing something. As Pete said too, they seek seclusion when they are ill too.

    It’s true Pete that we rarely find dead birds for the reasons you gave, but it still seems odd that one never sees them die in mid-flight. They do have strokes too, which strike without warning.

    If other creatures can have heart attacks and strokes etc, exerting themselves or not, somewhere at sometime they’ve got to die in mid-flight. Maybe it’s just that we don’t see it in inner cities cos we never watch the skies. I guess a hundred birds a day could die like this in the countryside and the odds of it being seen would be virtually nil.

    And ugo, regards the end of that gun of yours…………place that end against your temple, squeeze the trigger………nuff said.

    MIne was a Volkswagon Polo, only 995 CC, not even a litre. It was the kind that had a vertical back end. It always put me in mind of a small hearse, only it wasn’t as fast as a hearse. Still, I was chuffed to get it.

    Do I have to come back at all? I’d rather not.

    yeah daff, but you don’t have to be commited it to it big time unless you want to make the maximum possible profit. If all you want is a wee flutter and a better chance of winning through a syndicate, then go for it, but have a think as you say.

    Keep in mind that you don’t have the hassle of a works-type syndicate, and trying to get all the money in from peeps who might be off sick or on holliday etc. When someone doesnt chip in their ticket money for some reason, and the syndicate wins, peeps can end up fighting things out in court, but this site relieves you of all that. I didn’t check out all the small print, but you may find they take a small cut of syndicate winnings or a fee.

    The odds on winning the Camelot lottery are about 25 million to one. The E-Lottery syndicate, like any syndicate, gives you more winning chances, but at the end of the day it’s still a syndicate and you’ll share winnings.

    I’d advise you not to spam anyone if you do go in for it, e.g don’t give every addy in yer email addy address book to the company. Ask all your friends and colleagues first, and it’s not the kind of thing you want to do on the message boards, e.g. don’t post something like………………………………..EVERYONE CHECK THIS OUT. That would be perceived as you using the site for business purposes or procurement.

    daffy, that site is the same site this link takes you too:

    http://www.virtualworlddirect.com/vwdguest/default.asp?

    I’ve been getting emails from them for a year or so. It is legit, not a con, my cousin does it, and it’s been on the go for several years.

    The only downside of it is that they ( I may be wrong, as it could have changed by now ) insist on you paying a minimum subscription of £5.00 per week, that’s yer normal syndicate lottery ticket price, so it aint good if all you can afford is £1.00 a week on the lottery.

    They also have incentives, if you can recruit more peeps to join, you get free entries, so if you got X amount of people from JC for example to join it, you’d get lots of free entries. Check out the site, read the FAQ’s section. You’ll find it uses a referral system, e.g if you gave them my email addy, i.e. recomended me to them, and I actually sign up, they will reward you with free entries. I don’t think you get anything for one referral though, it might be 10, 15, or 20 people before you get the rewards. Some people, mostly the ones who got in on it at the start, have recruited so many others that they get tons of free entries.

    I used to be bang up to date on all this lottery stuff. I did loads of free internet lotteries, even won a few quid, only about £30.00 though. I could mention one that even used to be advertised on this site, but it would be wrong of me to name it as JC relies on advertising/affiliation revenue. There use to be lots of good review sites too, where you could get the low down on all these lotteries.

    I only do one of them now, cos I can’t be ar sed with them. The one I mentioned above did actually have a million pound winner about 2 years ago, chap in England won it. Not bad for free eh? Only thing is, the free ones don’t pay out all in one go, they pay out about £20,000 a year until it’s reached full payout. There is no catch though with the free ones, they too are legit, and they ( like JC ) get their revenue from the advertisers/banners on their sites, which to have to click on, and visit, to validate your entry.

    I now prefer the charity ones, such as the Guide Dogs For The Blind, and Age Concern. They don’t pay out anywhere near as much as Camelot, but I get the satisfaction of knowing all my ticket money goes to these charities. I despise Camelot, not because they make a profit, but because I think many of the causes they give to are unworthy, and many better causes get bu gger all.
