OT. Are you drunk?

Nope. Been years since I drank enough to be drunk! Laugh | :laugh:

I didn't mean - drunk of drinking some beverage, but drunk of yourself, your (well deserved) success, your idea of this competition, of the whole situation...

Dear Mr. Grif,

I have a lappie but I'm taking a trip this coming week and plan on giving it to my brother.
But I could use the sleeve to trade for a new suit[^] so I can become a fashion blogger[^].

I really really need this job so I can afford to feed my pet sloth, he has very discerning taste.

Your consideration in this matter is much appreciated and I really deserve this sleeve.

BTW Congrats OG

I would like to thank everybody who voted for my article - I'd do it individually, but I don't know who you are

Huh! Some people are just full of excuses! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Reply 2: (in light of the possibility of winning something ...!!!)

Griff, firstly let me congratulate you on your fantastic article about C#, It was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed reading every bit of it. I didn't even know you were interested in music. I personally would have chosen the key of C flat in preference to C sharp, but well done none-the-less. Big Grin | :-D

I myself do have a laptop, which I find very convenient. In fact I take it everywhere I go. Sometimes I find it gets rather warm and sticky, but other than that I am very happy with it. However, the addition of a cover for my laptop would be most useful to prevent unwanted scratching and chipping, and also to prevent people from sticking chewing gum to it while I'm on the bus.

Anyway, I'm sure a fantastically gorgeous and amazingly intelligent man like yourself will have many offers for your prize and all that I humbly ask is that you consider this plea from an admiring and completely honest fan who thinks you are totally wonderfull! Big Grin | :-D

Honest! I mean it .... please choose me ... choose me ... PLEASE!!!! ... PLEASE!!!! ... PLEASE!!!!

PS its the only way I'm ever going to get one as ~~I can't be bothered~~ have no time to write an Article, let alone one good enough to win.

PPS would a picture of a sheep help at all?

So, I did not intend to compete, but a known chocolate addict needs competition, otherwise some may argue she won only because you are a gentleman (Yes, because of course she will win, anyone doubting that will get sent to you in a sheep costume, and of course you are a gentleman, so the costumed sheep must not be afraid).

First, congrats for the first welsh best article (or actually anything best welsh ever) of the CP history. For you shirley a great achievement, especially since obtained just before your fifth CP birthday.

I deserve a CP lappie slave, because I have no time anymore to run my lappie on my own, so a slave is probably the best that could help me at the moment. It has been proven that the CP slaves are quite efficient and professional until they die, in which case they make a great meal with pepper and cream sauce, and the fur could help replacing my even more balding head.

It would be an original honour to get your first even won prize, especially since everybody knows it will be the last.

Thanks !
