Pigwidgeon · 14-08-2008 01:41PM

35notout · 14-08-2008 01:45PM

Entered the Sqeez one though so I might be lucky at that (NOT!)

If I was the only person in a competition, they would cancel the competiton I am that unlucky

Considering putting my tent up in my bedroom and going camping tonight

[uber child of the year] - I live in an apartment the city centre, so the back garden aint an option

Riverrock competition is over

I entered the Sqeez one with a hotmail address and had no problem.

Loads of prizes here - NPN code is Bootleg
Only one entry per household I think

bazwaldo · 24-08-2008 10:24PM

Their T&Cs say that you consent to be used on video and a load of things like that, if you win something. I've never seen that kinda stuff mentioned in T&Cs before for NPN raffles. Is that normal?

Saw that as well while checking for an age limit... but I figure if I did happen to win (by whatever chance or stroke of luck) I'd be too old for them to want to bother to use me as an advertisment!

"Hey look kids! Nick.co.uk is sooo great and have such great competitions that, if you watch us/visit our site a lot, you can be a winner like this guy.... err... this old.... fat guy...." :pac:

A lot of t&cs have the old publicity clause - but this comp's t&cs do seem a bit 'focused' on this aspect. The people running the competitions can put whatever they like in the t&cs.

eamon234 · 25-08-2008 01:06AM

Any radio or tv station will have that in their t&c's - I recall being used on an ad for Ian Dempsey for a while 'cause I won something on a competition - highly embarassing - mind you I got a holiday worth 2 grand!:D

Whats the number so we can all try it:D

Dman001 · 26-08-2008 12:34AM

So what do y'all think of the DF packs? The chair is actually quite nice. I haven't really looked at the other stuff bar the iPod.

Energizeer · 26-08-2008 09:52AM

The chair is dead handy, I watched TV and played with the new ipod all day on it yday. The sleeping bag is a bit cheap and cheerful but I'd imagine it would do the trick. Took the tent out of its bag but didn't bother to set it up as it seems pretty bog standard a tent. I doubt it would keep out the rain very well but I don't think I'll ever use it either way. I'd rather sleep in my car.
The ipod is handy out. The backlight didn't work originally, but i fixed that with a quick reset(hold down select and menu) I only wish I had some better music to put on it.

Magic Monkey · 26-08-2008 11:03AM

Got my kit yesterday too. Many thanks OP!

Well you're lucky, Got mine back in July and it came BROKEN !!, Believe me I have done everything to get it to start, reset - restore, software updates.

Their Crummy packaging probably broke it, Now i'm waiting for Someone from Coke ( Riverrock) to call me ...a month later. I mean come on they just put an ipod loose in a big box and didn't expect it to "bounce" around.
And clearly mine bounced around alot !!

But I did get an ipod even if it's a broken one so thanks to the OP.

Dman001 · 26-08-2008 11:35AM

It could be Apples fault so ring Apple. There is a years warranty and you dont need a receipt to get it repaired.

eamon234 · 26-08-2008 08:53PM

Was talking to someone today regarding the M&M's NPN codes - they got through and were told it would be a "few weeks" before codes were sent out as they were waiting on headed notepaper!:mad:

My local shop only has peanut M&M's I'm sick of them (and about 2 stone heavier!)

eamon234 · 07-09-2008 10:15AM

Hi All
I found this on a web advert for Meteor on Yahoo.ie in the news section it's on other parts of it as well. You need to look for an ad for Meteor Connect and Win (There is another ad for free phones ignore that.)

It gives you a code and a link to see if you've won - beauty is if you refresh the ad it gives you a new code! You may need to refresh a few times to get to the ad again.

You can also enter your email address to get extra codes

Prizes are vouchers for meals theatre etc

Good luck!

Have you a link? Can't find it on Yahoo.

I had a look around yahoo.ie as well with no luck.

eamon234 · 07-09-2008 03:08PM

Just go to Yahoo.ie and click any of the news articles on the home page you should see it - like I said you might need to refresh the page a few times to see it

It seems like you have to phone ONLY in for NPN entries

"8. No purchase is necessary - To enter without purchase for the same chance to win call the Freephone number ROI, 1800 317 318 or NI, 0800 317 318. If you have won a prize we will contact you within 28 days. Limited to one entry per person per day."

Correct?

eamon234 · 27-09-2008 04:17PM

yes phone only - I think they learned their lesson with the Cokemusic thing:D

Davy · 27-09-2008 05:39PM

Does it take long, do they want much details?
