    Hi Everyone,

    While the prizes we're giving away in this month's competition may not have the 'oomph' factor of an iPad2, they are becoming increasingly recognized as absolute necessities in the home.
    (By the way, congratulations again to Markham who won last month – hope you’re enjoying your iPad 2, we’re all quite jealous!) :)

    But anyway, the prizes for May ……………..

    We are giving away 10 Carbon Monoxide Alarms.

    Why? Well, seeing as we can now provide your gas (and save you up to 17%* when you combine your electricity and gas), we feel it's a good time to further promote awareness of carbon monoxide alarms and the vitally important safety benefits they provide. In fact, due to their growing popularity, they are currently the top seller on our online store – ESBStore.ie.

    To be in with a chance to win one of these stylishly safe devices (:p), simply post a comment below.

    Just a suggestion now, if you're stuck for something to say... With today being the 4th May, a 'Star Wars' day in the eyes of many (May the Fourth Be With You!), why not post a pun/play on words below? Winners will be chosen at random so any comment will do, but your puns would I'm sure make things a lot more interesting! :)

    The closing date is midnight 10th May (Tuesday) and the 10 winners will be posted here on Wednesday 11th May, in line with our usual competition Ts&Cs. To learn more about carbon monoxide alarms, go to ESBStore.ie.

    Best of luck, and, erm, May The Fourth Be With You!

    David

    “Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.” .......and I'd love a carbon monoxide alarm :D

    Google taught me these:

    1. I recently spent money on detergent to unclog my kitchen sink. It was money down the drain.

    2. Our social studies teacher says that her globe means the world to her.

    3. A jury is never satisfied with the verdict. The jury always returns it.

    4. Sir Lancelot once had a very bad dream about his horse. It was a knight mare.

    5. A dog not only has a fur coat but also pants.

    6. Today I've got a pressing engagement. I must go to the cleaners.

    7. The principal part of a horse is the mane, of course.

    8. Having lots of good cookbooks only makes sense. They contain such stirring events.

    9. If you want to make a pun from dunlop. Then lop off the lop and the pun is dun.

    10. I used to be twins. My mother has a picture of me when I was two.

    11. I work as a baker because I knead dough.

    12. What is the difference between a conductor and a teacher?

    The conductor minds the train and a teacher trains the mind.

    "The Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is strong in this one"

    Maybe they would have survived if they had an alarm.
