What's this then? What are you crazy people talking about? I'm so confused :-(

You lot are talking total crap. Im may have to bite you all.

[netibiza]

No jno on the Balearic version it's bottles of wine - a glass or two isn't much good in this heat.

Luncheon vouchers? Are they the original C Payne version????

[shaneystar2]

Glasses of wine ? Vodka? Luncheon vouchers?
It must depend where you live....all I got was a complimentary voucher for Starbucks. Mind you I made sure I ticked the box for the draw for the luxury holiday in Barbados .

[netibiza]

I didn't get the Barbados offer all I got was Blackpool so I missed it out.

I rather liked the crinoline toilet cover you made for Ed - shaney - though the orange and purple was rather startling.

[netibiza]

Have just had an email from Answerbankplus+ saying that they are shutting me down now for 2hrs so that I can receive it all - so I'll log off for now. I'll be back tomorrow with the new version and hopefully I'll know how to change the colours etc. Am getting very excited about it all, hope lots of you are receiving it aswell. See you tomorrow Platinum Members!!!!

[shaneystar2]

O.K neti ....over and out . Don't forget when you log back in to enter your Platinum members number otherwise you won't get the discount for the Euro Lottery.

[dot.hawkes]

I am gonna email the ed about that option, i do think it is irresponsible to offer a gambling facility and though the online poker option is useful cos it by passes the nead for a second site, the lottery is not even skilled gambling.

[shaneystar2]

Yes I agree Dot ...encouraging gambling could be a blot on the site. I think the other options of the Chess Club and the Spelling Bee were far more sensible.

[jno]

well, I think it's all very well promising all these things like personal answers from classy dudes like Richard Nixon and Annie Lennox, but will they actually deliver? I'm still waiting for the autographed bottle of Vimto, and now they're saying not till Tuesday. And I particularly ticked the box for 'No Publicity' and there I was all over the Sunday papers. So I'm taking all this with a pinch of salt.

[shaneystar2]

Never mind Jno ..at least we have the free CD to look forward to. I chose Mantovani in the end . Not much of a choice was there? I'm not all that keen on The Singing Nun or The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.

[jno]

ah, the Singing Nun... she left the order, got involved in promoting birth control, was pursued by the government for huge back taxes (she said all her royalties had gone to the convent), and eventually died in a suicide pact with her (female) lover. All true, and one of the saddest stories in pop music.

[shaneystar2]

Well I never ..you learn something new everyday thanks to AB.
I just looked her up on Wikipedia .Very sad indeed. I thought she had just faded into obscurity .

[shaneystar2]

Dear oh dear ..I'm humming the tune now !
Dominique nique nique s'en allait tout simplement !!
Perhaps I should have chosen that one instead .
You do know I shan't be able to get to sleep now for humming !

[jno]

It was also the victim of one of the daftest translations I've ever come across...

A l'epoque ou Jean sans-terre
d'Angleterre etait le roi
Dominique notre pere
combattit les albigeois

became:

At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything

funny translation here

[shaneystar2]

Well...we've got a CD somewhere with records that were hits here in the sixties in German....which has to be heard to be believed. !

[jno]

can you still get those old Beatles songs from Hamburg or wherever - Sie liebt dich ja ja ja?

[Dolly1308]

What a load of old cobblers !!!!! LOL

[jno]

oh hello Dolly (to coin a phrase), haven't you received the cut-glass decanter yet either? Or the commemorative plate?

[Dolly1308]

but you did make me laugh ,thanks !!!

[B00]

I thought those were lovely jno, though I'm not impressed with the thimbles collection, wouldn't you have thought that a stand would be provided? 300 of the little blighters there is- they keep falling off me mantelpiece:-(
