Re: Congratulations! - 6 years ago
Thanks for your generosity guys. You're not going to believe this but I've won £25 on the premium bonds this month.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Congratulations! - 6 years ago
eek! I was dreading you noticing. Hopefully this proves it's all random and I'm just having a lucky streak. Thank youby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Congratulations! - 6 years ago
Thanks MikeTerry I'm a bit obsessive about Where In The World. When I've google searched the photo I very often have a look on Google Street Maps just to double check I've got the right place (if I've got time that is). Then I have a read - adds to the trivia bank you see (quizzing is a big hobby of mine). Today's subject of guard dogs was very interesting. Cue tby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Congratulations! - 6 years ago
Thanks Deborah You know, that's exactly how I was feeling about it too. My name wasn't featuring at all in the Where In The World competitions for months, not even as a runner up. And then last month, I won. As well as the Where In The World competition and the Daily Quiz, I also won the last open the box competition too which was for a nice £5 voucher for my local garden centreby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Thank you CC - 6 years ago
Received a cheque for £30 this morning from CC as winner of October's Where In The World Competition. A few days ago I received a £5 voucher for the Open The Box Competition. Thanks for the speedy delivery, Competitor's Companion.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: June Daily Quiz - 6 years ago
You're welcome. And my cheque arrived this morning.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: June Daily Quiz - 6 years ago
Well done Aldonza. Hopefully my cheque for the June keyword quiz will turn up in a day or two.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Wednesday's Where In The World - 6 years ago
Yes - same again todayby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Wednesday's Where In The World - 6 years ago
Is Wednesday's Where In The World competition not working properly - or is it just my computer? (No where to type in answer)by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: October Daily Quiz - 6 years ago
Just noticed you won the April Where In The World comp., Deborah. Well done. Nice £50 coming your way. I've got off to a good start with this competition in May!by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Daily Quiz - 11th May - 6 years ago
Going for the obvious answer for today's question but Wiki says this about another of the choices:- "It has been suggested that the phrase was originally used by Julius Caesar as he was attacked by the Senate"by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: October Daily Quiz - 6 years ago
Thanks for watching. The football answer was, of course, a complete fluke. Happy outcome though - got a new walk-in shower with the winningsby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: October Daily Quiz - 6 years ago
Funny you should ask about TV shows. I was on 'The Boss' this afternoon. You can watch it here, if you want:- "I'm Lesley, I'm a secretary, from Nantwich"by Pippin - General Competition Chat

Re: Competitors Companion Score the Game - 7 years ago
Well done. I've never come anywhere near in this competitionby Pippin - UK Forum
Re: My wins in 2016 - 7 years ago
Grapevine passed me by - never heard of it. Are you entering competitions elsewhere, Trixy and Deborah? Again, 30+ wins in a year seems very impressive to me. Lesley P.S. My £25 cheque for the December Daily Quiz arrived this morning, very promptly.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: My wins in 2016 - 7 years ago
38 prizes in a year sounds very impressive to me. I've not been entering any Facebook or Twitter competitions, so perhaps that's part of my problem. Lesley (Pippin) - Hon. Member of the Middle Aged Ladies', "Back-In-The-Day", Comping Clubby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: My wins in 2016 - 7 years ago
I think you've hit the nail on the head, Deborah. The competitions are just so accessible now, thanks to the Internet. Using Google Chrome (and having much of the form filled in automatically for you) means I can enter a massive amount of competitions quite quickly. I assume everyone else is doing the same. Just like you, Deborah, about 25 years ago (just before I had my children), I wby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: October Daily Quiz - 7 years ago
Thanks Deborah. And congratulations to you for winning the Where in the World competition. We've both certainly got our subs back - and more. All the best for 2017 xxby Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: My wins in 2016 - 7 years ago
Well done Mags. When I started comping with CC about 5 years ago, I won a crazy amount of prizes. Cash, up to £1000 a time, holidays and much more besides. Over the last 2 years I haven't won a thing (apart from CC's own competitions). I don't know what's gone wrong really. Good luck to everyone in 2017.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
October Daily Quiz - 7 years ago
I'm lucky enough to be the winner of the October Daily Quiz. I'd just like to point out that the answer to question 9 is Charlotte, not Chelsea (the question was 'What is the first name of Hillary Clinton's grand-daughter?' I hope I'm not shooting myself in the foot here.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
Re: Problem mail - 7 years ago
This is an unfortunate side-effect of online comping. I have a separate email address that I use purely for comping. The problem's still there but at least it's 'contained'.by Pippin - General Competition Chat
