Other than doing "Yore ma" :eek:

In a past life I was a barman and a care assistant, these were basically the same job, cleaning up puke, blood and urine. Fun times.

Now I'm an unemployed student.

Knowing boards, you'll probably find the person who designed the thing on here and they're probably working in a call center now! hahaha

I'm a tiler, but I haven't worked in about a year.
I also spend time trying to convince people that the competition they won without entering is a scam.
4 ****ing hours tonight trying to tell someone it was a scam.
Another 5 phone calls later when I got home, and she finally ran out of credit.

You didn't win a holiday.
You were not the 999,999,999th visitor to the site.
The e-mail was a scam. They just wanted your CCdetails.
After the phone call you made to them, when they asked for your CC details, you would think you would have copped on. Alas, you did not and you continued to ring me and ask if I thought it was a scam.

I ****ing told you it was a scam the second you told me about it. Leave me and the internet alone.
