Cache Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Woohoo! Have you extracted the gobstoppers from someone's dreams (or are we back to marbles? I wasn't paying attention sorry.....) Could I have number 10 please? 1
VeryPC Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 Woohoo! Have you extracted the gobstoppers from someone's dreams (or are we back to marbles? I wasn't paying attention sorry.....) Could I have number 10 please? Those particular gobstobbers are from the brain of "The Thing" a.k.a Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four as it happens. He dropped 'em off on his way to V-fest before the weekend. ...but back to business! @Cache has chosen number 10. Let's take a look under the scratchiness; your prize is... [yeah I'm still doing this loooong pause bit] ...a Pac-Man bottle opener! Once again, good luck for tomorrow, and to anyone not already registered, there's lots left to win. UK IT techs and managers PM me your professional contact details to be in with a chance. Our star prize is a lovely VeryPC Nano Sketch with SSD and your own custom branding to be given away on Friday August 30th. Al 1
VeryPC Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Morning morning. It is time to reveal who today's lucky winner of our cool geeky lost property is. This short information film will tell you all you need to know: Congratulations you lucky so and so. Please choose one of the remaining numbers shown below and I will reveal which prize you have won: Good luck to everyone else for tomorrow, and to anyone not already registered, there's lots left to win. UK IT techs and managers PM me your professional contact details to be in with a chance. Our star prize is a lovely VeryPC Nano Sketch with SSD and your own custom branding to be given away on Friday August 30th.
VeryPC Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Wohoo number 1 please dude. Number 1 it is El Dooderino! aaaand your prize is... [making you wait! You can't just glance to the right and ignore this bit - it's enforced suspense] ...the Splat Stan mug coaster! At this stage we need to make a small confession/amendment - when we ordered this we assumed the mug pictured with the coaster was included, but we were wrong. So instead, we'll send you a vintage VeryPC mug to go with the coaster. I really mean vintage too, these pre-date me, our current factory and about 3 generations of VeryPC branding. Give it about 2 more years and I have no doubt in my mind that the mug we send you will be worth roughly £150,000 to collectors (very roughly: ±150k). This is from another era and will surely make an appearance on Antiques Roadshow before long. Don't try calling the number on the mug, it's well well out of date, and that's not muck, it's character.

VeryPC Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Many thanks. Ben You're most welcome. I hope you like having the facsimile of a miniature man lying on your desk under your mug in a bodily gruesome diorama. Al
VeryPC Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Yet another person helping to further my goal of winning das vidya gaemz! Mwhahahahaha! ~moustache twirl~ I keep expecting someone to pick the number with GTAV behind it, but it remains undisturbed so far... maybe tomorrow, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the...
X-13 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I keep expecting someone to pick the number with GTAV behind it, but it remains undisturbed so far... maybe tomorrow, or the day after that, or the day after that, or the... I requested the assistance of the old gods. It won't be chosen until i win again. INB4 it gets picked by someone else tomorrow.
Cache Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Hah, you made the common mistake, your Robot doesn't have a plug on it so it isn't IT's job!
VeryPC Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Morning, and be quiet! They may be listening. Watch this information video on a daily prize winner whilst you're keeping schtum: Dear winner, please pick your number from those remaining and I'll reveal you prize later: Sorry for the lateness of this vid. I'm having a dry run for tomorrow's field trip and only using small mobile devices to film, upload and post this video, pic and post. It takes somewhat longer than doing it on your desktop! Al Edited August 22, 2013 by VeryPC
Netman Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks Dr. B and Dan the Delivery Man - I will stay silent except to say 14 please... 1
X-13 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 What I got from the video: Netman needs to stop making Al's head big.
VeryPC Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Thanks Dr. B and Dan the Delivery Man - I will stay silent except to say 14 please... You're welcome @Netman and your prize is... [hold your breath for 8 seconds] ...a cool red digital watch by Converse. Hope you like it. It's my favourite of the prizes, so I envy you. Good luck to everyone else for tomorrow's field trip draw, and to anyone not already registered, there's lots left to win. UK IT techs and managers PM me your professional contact details to be in with a chance. Our star prize is a lovely VeryPC Nano Sketch with SSD and your own custom branding to be given away on Friday August 30th. See you in the field (and quite possibly the trenches too) tomorrow! Al
Netman Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Awesome - my favourite of the prizes too... thanks very very much @VeryPC.
VeryPC Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Awesome - my favourite of the prizes too... thanks very very much @VeryPC. Yes! Really glad you like it. Thought that maybe it could go either way with that one. And you are most welcome, my EduGeeky friend. Al
VeryPC Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Pay attention. These 2 nuggets of info will be of some interest to you all. No slouching! There will be no draw on Monday 26th August due to the bank holiday. We'll be doing a double draw on Tuesday 27th to catch up. ALSO: because tomorrow is the school field trip day with Doc Brown, entries tendered this evening and tomorrow morning will not be in tomorrow's draw, but added to the banana bucket for the double draw on Tuesday That is all - back to your skiving. Doc B
VeryPC Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 Just to let you know that today's draw will very probably be posted somewhat later than usual today due to the challenges of operating in the (a) field. Please be patient, I'll be working on it. Al
X-13 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) When you said later I wasn't expecting 5+ hours... Where is this field? The moon? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2VhC1QF7ww Have a random video! (Warning contains ponies) Edited August 23, 2013 by X-13
VeryPC Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 When you said later I wasn't expecting 5+ hours... Where is this field? The moon? Later never came... Late is coming now! Sorry for the video-less Friday and weekend. It turns out the field in North Yorkshire playing host to our school trip/recycling voluntary work was not as well served with internet access as expected. We filmed and chose a winner on schedule, but getting it to your eyes proved to be a challenge insurmountable until we returned to civilisation. Watch on to find out Friday's winner: Congrats winner - please choose a number from the remaining selection shown below: Remember today is a Double Draw Tuesday, so as well as the winner just revealed in this post, there will be a further 2 draws in the next video (posted between 11am and 12noon today). Still some good little prizes and the lovely Nano Sketch PC star prize to be won. See you later, Al
VeryPC Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 Nooooo! I was like a mm out, gutted. Sooooooo close! A near miss for @F3000 and @DaveJ2717uk as well - hard luck folks. Al
VeryPC Posted August 27, 2013 Author Posted August 27, 2013 So attentive listeners of the studious learning variety. A double draw today to catch up on the bank holiday yesterday. Who will the lucky 2 winners be? Congratulations to both of you - please choose your numbers from those remaining in the pic below and we'll reveal which prizes you have won. @SirToby also needs to pick his prize from the draw posted earlier this morning, so if 2 or more of you choose the same number, we'll accept your choices in the order that they are posted in this thread and ask anyone choosing a duplicate to pick again. Sound fair enough? Only 3 days left now, but still time to enter and win one of the last remaining prizes, including the star prize, a beautifully compact and cool looking VeryPC Nano Sketch (i3 CPU, 4GB RAM, 120GB SSD, Win 7 or 8 home) with your own design etched on the side. The star prize will be drawn on Friday 30th August. All you have to do to have a chance of winning is work as an IT tech/manager type in the UK and be registered on EduGeek (which I'm guessing you probably are if you're reading this). Just PM me your professional contact details and we'll add your name to the draw. Dead easy. Oh, and you'll get some free sweets just for entering in the first place, so everybody wins something at least. Al
