The competition is now closed, and I have exhaustively reviewed all the entries.
Including the rather smelly one that arrived in the post and had to be decontaminated by the fire service.
And it's a difficult choice:
Highest Vote: Death By Chocolate, 9 Votes. Nagy, 6 for his magnificent COBOL entry.
Closest to actually following the rules: Ian Clarke, Warrior Programmer
Best Reverse Psychology: Mike Hankey
Best Brown Nosed Desperation: DeathByChocolate
Best COBOL: Nagy Vilmos
Best Threat: Nagy Vilmos
Best Bribery: DeathByChocolate (Hon. mention: Nagy Vilmos)
Best Totally wrong Idea about what the prize was: Rage
And in the end, I have decided...
...
the winner is:
...
Death By Chocolate, for magnificent attempted bribery, brown nosing, highest vote and general LOL!
Congratulations to all entrants, and I'm sorry I can't send one to you all!

You deserve every orange inch of it! 
(I've emailed Kevin Priddle, and he should be in touch in a couple of days to arrange a shipping address)

Being of a female persuasion, I feel a new outfit may be required to complement it! 
And once again, thank you.

What goes with that shade of orange?
Congrats on the win... I think.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Chocolate and Bacon are the foods of the Gods.
Along with Satay, obviously.

Alison talks about more than just chocolate?
Bacon is staple part of my diet and SHALL never be excluded, I'm going off Satay as I have been shown fillet beef in black bean sauce

Hope the new lappie sleeve keeps your laptop safe from coffee, chocolate and all the other dangers lurking out there for laptops.
Cheers,

Well, I am not sad I did not win, I have no use of happy sleeves anyway. Who still wears shirts with smileys on it today ?

You did, and your COBOL was superb!
If it is any consolation, it was very, very close between the two of you.
But you lost.
