And the winner is (Part 2)

Who could possibly think such a thing?????
I'm shocked. And it takes a lot to shock me.

Not me Smiffy, although some will be thinking that.

I could see why they would Chris. Going by Homers reaction. I could see why they would.

Something definatly isn't right here, I thought 88 was the closest number to 88

I bet the real reason he isn't running the "competition" again is because he knows no one in their right mind would enter it again.

Can someone call a rules official please.

 

[Smiffy]

Oh my God. What have I started!!

 

[Dodger]

Back to the maths class for Homer.

Reminds me of one of those emails you get from the Spanish lottery.

 

[Smiffy]

I hope this doesn't rumble on for a few more days.....

I'm sure it will die a death if we all stop posting on it.

 

[Smiffy]

I'm sure it will die a death if we all stop posting on it.

Are you absolutely positive???

 

[chrisd]

Are there any expenses involved?

 

[Toad]

Don't doubt it for a minute.

Yeah lets stop posting about it and it might just go away as if it never happened

As if what never happened????

To be fair, there has not been a complaint that I have seen from the people who might have won. If neither Gibbo or DaveM have a problem then that should be the end of it. If they do have an issue then it can be dealt with between them and Homer direct.

Maybe it is actually another member of Royal Ascot who is using his blog that's causing the confusion.....

Sure Homer will be along soon to clarify the situation.

Yeah but that wouldn't be any fun would it?
Have you got G1BBO's or DaveM's email addresses by the way. I wanted to ask them what they are doing next Sunday.....

Wouldn't it be really, really weird if it were the same guy that..........nah, we won't go there Dodge

 

[Toad]

Maybe someone else signed off the spreadsheet and missed out the 2 closest entries.:ears:

To be fair GB, and I am not stirring things up but you can't run a competition and not keep accurate records to show who had entered and who was the eventual winner.
Martin very generously said he would put up a prize for the closest entry to gain publicity for his blog, now that it has gone a bit pear shaped he will have to ride out the banter and ribbing that is sure to follow.

The fact that Gibbo and DaveM have not commented is to be commended but it is good for a laugh, and all the comments/banter have been done in good taste with no one overstepping the mark.

 

[GB72]

I was not planning on modding the thread, just thought I would try and be a voice of reason.

We all make mistakes and if the prize has been awarded to the wrong person then so be it. An explanation, an apology and an agreement with the correct winner and everybody it happy.

This is the quietest that I have ever known Homer to be

Maybe he should run bent (allegedly) competitions more often!
