    Hello,

    I entered this competition in The Independent awhile back. (can't post links but it's the honda Scooter giveaway back in Jan/ Feb independent.ie/incoming/10-honda-scooters-to-be-won-so-you-can-wave-goodbye-to-weary-commuting-34367823.html

    Did anyone else enter it? Did you win? Did you see who won? I haven't seen the winners announced for this competition. I've checked the paper and searched online. I have contacted them on facebook and sent e-mail's to the address I got from there representative on Facebook and nothing!

    Have The Independent pulled a fast one or am I missing something?

    MeTheMan.

    The Independent.

    And they wear a biker jacket so that they can be a cool biker and 'pull' a 'fast one' if you know what I mean. ;):cool:

    I won one of those scooters and now I'm running around the whole town, neighbours yelling at me like, "You need to slow down." Going thirty-eight, Dan, chill the f*ck out, mow your damn lawn and sit the hell down.

    OMG this is getting worser and worserer!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 527 ✭✭✭MeTheMan


    Ya, maybe I should have posted it somewhere else if I wanted a real answer?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,501 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows


    the website says it will be published in the paper or you need to write to them.
    Have you read the papers for february and march?

    The winner’s name will be published in the Irish Independent newspaper late February/early March. The winner’s details (name and county) will be made available on request to those writing to PO Box 11, Dublin 2 within ten weeks after the closing date, enclosing a stamped self addressed envelope.
