And the winner is (Part 2)

[Naybrains]

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.
.

Wot he said, emphasis on the word "Banter".

 

[Smiffy]

We all make mistakes.

Yeah but the ones that Homer makes are classics.
I mean, I've hit a driver towards the wrong hole before. One of the courses down at Celtic Manor it was.
But that wasn't half as bad as fibbing about who won a wedge so that he didn't have to weigh out.

 

[forefortheday]

Maybe one of those girls that always follows me on Twitter won it?

You know the ones, not in anway shape or form a spambot!

PS Is this the only thread Homer won't be posting in?

 

[Swinger]

Martin who won this, and what was your average ?

Good memory!! You keep on impressing me Rich!

:thup:

 

[Toad]

See Smiffy, I told you it would eventually go quiet.....

 

[Dodger]

I hope Ofcom don't here about this.A posting embargo may be handed out as penalty for running a fraudulent competition.

You are pretty astute Geezer, I'll give you that

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Little point furnishing it with any sort of reply. Its clearly going to be disbelieved, have the p**s ripped out of it or twisted. I'll simply refer you back to my comment #52.

Please don't let it spoil your fun though

 

[Dodger]

Ah so it was a dodgy cell in the spreadsheet that has caused the faux pas.:mmm:

 

[john0]

Homer, any chance of you uploading the spreadsheet on here?

I thought for a minute you were away looking for a paddle up the creek.

I'm sorry Homer but I'm really disappointed in you. Forget the grief and slating you are getting and look at the facts. You've put up a prize for a competition, you state back in your comment #52 that all entries are on a spreadsheet and you have clearly made a mistake as both DaveM and GIBBO commented on your blog and both guessed 88. To make matters worse you've now deleted the page. The fact you've not even apologised and admitted you made a mistake is unbelievable. Your integrity as far as I'm concerned has taken a battering.

You are now one follower lighter...

[HomerJSimpson]

To make matters worse you've now deleted the page. .

Sadly two idiots decided to put a post on there swearing. Why would I leave it up. Experience has shown that whatever I put up in terms or an apology, defence, or explanation will be ignored, twisted or ridiculed and to be honest I can't be bothered when the responses on here make it apparent no-one will pay any attention

 

[john0]

Has anyone lost this?.........

Experience has shown me that a lot of what you put up leaves yourself wide open to be ridiculed Homer.

 

[Dodger]

More spin that a Labour MP I'll give you that Homer.

Word of advice....stop digging a hole.

 

[USER1999]

May be because two people had the same right answer, that there was no clear cut winner, and so it went to the next nearest?

The only reasonable answer.

Sorry Homer but

a) you can request to moderate comments
b) even if you switch off moderation you can delete comments and lock comments on a blog post so that people cannot place new comments on there
c) I was on there today so unless the two idiots went on there in the ten minutes between me reading the post and you deleting the post...

State the facts and let people decide for themselves. You've instead opted to take umbridge at the fact you have been challenged on a quite glaring discrepancy. I'll say nowt else on the matter, and you probably don't care about my opinion anyway, but I'm not impressed :angry:
