The Yak Shack Forum

Hi guys - everyone loves a competition, and we have the rarest costume card in this set up for grabs!!

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/tradingcards/index.php?page=competition

Good luck! The competition closes at midnight GMT at the end of this month - don't miss out.

P.S. You can only enter if you are signed up to the forum, to the person who has entered as "guest" we would have no way to track who you were to say you had won. Sorry!

Is the competition one of the following ...
1) One entry per person  :)
2) One entry per person per day  ;D
3) As many entries as you can bang out before the closing date  :rofl:  :rofl:

Thanks to Tom for the card  8)

Now to my entry  :o=

Of course only one entry per person.  ::)

And after that:  :o=

And when you have lost:  >:()

 :rofl: Tower, you are too funny :rofl:

Tom is a class guy and so is his business.  Very nice of you Tom to donate the card for this contest.  Thank you!   :)

Yes i second that, thank-you Tom. Always a pleasure to deal with.
Also thanks to Roz for not mentioning it was me who was silly enough to enter the comp as a guest.
I have now found the little ticcky box where it says "keep me signed in all the time"  ::)
Good luck to all!

Thank you tom for donating the wonderful card . I look forward to receiving it rofl

I too would like to thank Tom for his generousity.

Yep, it's definitely the best prize so far. We have been very fortunate... it's only 6 days til the randomiser (built in a program called "Flash") decides who wins it so please do get your entries in.

sneaks  in the back door of the flash program and rigs it to select only my name lmao

Good luck to everyone

He hee - it's not done that way. Everyone is assigned a number based on what order the entries came in - 1-?? then the super duper flashy randomiser askjs how many entries we have and then chooses a number between 1 and the number of entries...

so there you go... all fair - unless it says number X, and I go oh that's McG... no she can't win ;)

:rofl:

just kidding

:D

Thats a fantastic giveaway. Many thanks to the YakShack and of course Tom. This is great!  ;D

I protest i think i should win lol now what number entry was i again lol

I answered "Cucaracha Clusters".  Since the word in English has ** in it :rofl:  Hey, that's correct isn't it? Does that mean I win.
I hope they don't do a Wizard Candy with that flavor.  Ewww Yuk!!! :rofl: I feel sorry for those poor male birds.

rofl

Actually Warner Bros. is releasing Cockroach Clusters this year in tie with GOF

It was great of Tom to donate this prize.  Very nice of him.  I am hoping we will see more donations and more contests in the future!!!

Oh yes, very nice. Thanks for that.  :)  And now i have to win.  ;D

Thanks, Tom!  You're a super guy! ;D

Thanks Tom for your generous donation ;D

Thanks Tom ;D

thank you for all the suport tom

Tom, Thanks. It's very nice of you.  Even if I don't win, hey, it's fun to try.

Nice to see a generous collector out there!!!  Thanks Tom.

GO ON TOM THATS REALY REALY GENEROUS OF YOU  :-* ;D :D ;) :) :oTHANKS

Check the terms and conditions at the bottom of the competition page ;)

Sorry about that,but the terms & conditions were not there when I asked the question  :-* .I assume these are gospel for all comps ?  :D

oi!!

Yes there were!*

Yes the same html/web page is used for all the competitions so pretty much the same rules...

*They just didn't include the multiple entries thingummyjig ;) but fortunately our Mark had a disclaimer in sayinng he could change the rules at any time ... cheeky!

If you have any suggestions as to how anything could be improved (without everyone entering daily ;) then all suggestions are gratefully received

It is very kind of you to donate this card Tom   :)

It was also really nice to see what you and Sketchqueen look like (NSU), very good pictures.  ;D

I might be wrong but I think the picures are of Tom Jr :)

The competition is going well with the most entrants ever. The draw is 11.59 GMT tomorrow night so time is running out to get your entries in

Is there more than one Tom?  That it really nice to have your dad(?) love the same thing you do and then make a living out of it  ;D

Thanks very much to Tom and Tom Jr!! ;D

 :o= <-- me

Last chance guys, 7 hours til the competition closes

FTY *rushes to sign up at all the university computers available* ... can I create 230 usernames and email addresses in 7 hours?

Sleep? Who needs it? ;D

 :rofl: :rofl:

Knowing my luck if I did that I probably still wouldnt win :rofl: :rofl:

Don't even joke Jo!

We've had about 106 unsolicited entries into this competition by just one person... ::) naturally they have been disqualified as they would have a VERY high chance of winning otherwise :P

Why do i guess, it's the member i told anywhere in the topics, that only one entry per member is allowed?  ::)

That's what I hate about contests! One person wants to mess it up for everyone - the nerve, attempting to enter 100 times :(

But, on a happier note - "It was also really nice to see what you and Sketchqueen look like (NSU), very good pictures."
and I will say this every time -  Isn't my son the CUTEST toddler you've seen (other than you're own)???? I made out in that photo montage - me and Evan, Rob's in another picture and stcardgeek got in as well :)

What is everyone talking about seeing a photo of you and tow other persons? I have I missed a thread or something ???

In the latest issue of Non-Sport Update magazine there is a photo spread from the Philly Non-Sport Show.

TomUnique is in it, I'm there with my youngest, Inkworks and Rittenhouse are both represented (I'm fairly sure) - that's all ;) Just bragging a bit ...

Just to make this absolutely clear it was not Bogleg who entered 106 times.  He asked a genuine question when the competition was announced - the rules were then made clear by Roz and he stuck to them.  On other forums more than one entry is allowed and this was why he asked for clarification.  This was not meant as a pop at the Yakshack or to ask for the rules to be changed.  It was simply a question asked in a good humoured way. 

As you can see he is new to the Yakshack, as am I, and we both believe it is better to ask a polite question rather than just guess what the rules are.  Neither of us have a problem with one entry per person; it is good of Tom and Roz to do this competition at all.

He hee yes, sorry that wasn't ol' Bogleg.

He was just 105 times :rofl:

He hee just kiddin'

:D Good luck to all (silly thing to say really as only one person can win :()

When will you be posting the winner?

1around 12 GMT assuming I'm awake ;)

You're not going to give in and give us a thread each then  :-\

He hee - no!

9 minutes to go! (That's just enough time for me to make my bedtime cuppa tea!)

9 minutes?? It's only 11 o'clock here Roz!! :o

 :o=

Have you lost an hour? :-\

Really?  9 minutes?  Well, if you post in 9 minutes, I will wait before I leave work to see who wins!!

 Now I'm confused  ::) The little hands near the 11 and the big hand is heading to the 12  :-\

And now posts are diddapeared before my eyes :o

*goes off to have a Jack daniels and coke -I wish-*

Are we on BST or GMT guys? We are on BST as you well know which is GMT+1
So that means we have 2 hours and 2 minutes... oops!

Do you reckon anyone else will enter now or can we just draw it??? After all... people have had a week and a day :S... hmm in that case I don't think we'll announce the winner til morning :(

Morning is fine.  At least I know I can leave work now.  It is only 6 pm here!!!  Although, I have a dentist appointment now :-\, so I wish it was 11.  My appointment would be over ;)

:D Good luck! Sorry about the confusion Roz's eyes are a tad tired ::)

Quality - that sure beats my tea ;) Actually no I take it back... tea is great :P

There ... there ... *pats Roz's hand reassuringly* ... not to worry hon, we don't mind waiting. ;)
You go and get some sleep, 'kay!? :-*

How about tea with Jack Daniels ;)

Just thank our lucky stars we weren't about during the war they had two spare hours to deal with  ::)

Get some sleep Roz... I'm in no hurry for you to draw my name out :o=

Umm, excuse me Ferdinand.  I believe it will be MY name that's spit out of the goblet.  :rofl:

Oh is that so? ;D

Now that we have said that, you know it will be neither of us! :rofl:

Sorry guys I already got the PM I won :)

Will post picks when I get it

*coughs*

Yes Becks... congrats - now when were you going to send that Invisibility cloak prop to me again?

Ok, you almost had me going there, Beckham.  ;)

lol You are all wrong the card is mine mine mine

( insert very evil laugh )

Hey McG, here is your evil laugh..

MWAH HA HA HA  >:D

Mwwwwaaaahhhhh hhhhaaaa hhhhhaaaa hhhhhaaaaa

and the card is still mine rotflmao

I wantzes the precioussesss, and no I didn't win yet, but I thought I might have a few fish bite on that one. :rofl:

Who sends the PM to the person who won, Roz?

Roz usually willl announce it here in the thread.

Actually she just told me she won :'(

When does the sun come up in England?  I have to go to bed soon. ;D

Its 4:50 am in the UK now according to the Shack clock... so Roz will be up any minute now ;D

Never, it is a scary dark land, filled with Heffalumps and dementors.  

And don't forget the ringwraiths! :o ;D

I try to block them out of my mind, because they can sense my fear.  THe orcs really freak me out.  I don't know how people in the UK can live like that.

Heffalumps!!?  Oh, d-dear!  Well, if it's only 4:50 I'll have to wait until morning to gloat over my new card.  Goodnight everyone!

night kelly

i thought heffalumps where in the hundred acre woods only

Actually there are a few in the 98 acre woods also which is just outside of Liverpool I believe

Kelly has to go to bed at 12:00 I have to go to bed at 2:00.

Ahh, the pleasure of being home schooled...smell the freedom ;)

LOL :rofl: Night Kelly

Oi!

Yellow card!

And we have begun to realise that Orcs are people too, so we allow them to live outside the Subway now too... it makes it a lot less scary going down there knowing we won't find angry savage pointy teeth orcses... Lord Gollum seems a lot happier about the situation.

AND THE WINNER IS.....

me

ANGELS!

I think I have your address Angie so I will pass that on to Tom.

Congratulations!!

Congradulations Angels
