sparkeh Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Well now, I can't let an Anchor Man reference pass without posting:
StevieM Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Shh... It's. all. so. quiet... etc. My nephew was about 18 months old when that song came out and he loved it. He'd be sitting playing with his toys and he'd join in with all the 'Shhh.... Shhhh'es with PERFECT timing. Aw, bless him.

hallb15 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah! Thanks @VeryPC Al! Glad you didn't put me at the very top - that space is reserved for a fairy!
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah! Thanks @VeryPC Al! Glad you didn't put me at the very top - that space is reserved for a fairy! Selfie!
sparkeh Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah! Thanks @VeryPC Al! Glad you didn't put me at the very top - that space is reserved for a fairy! [insert you own joke here] 1
StevieM Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I think I may have figured out the star prize! Judging by the shape, it's the Sphinx! 1
hallb15 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 [insert you own joke here] I was hoping someone would take the bait! Here's one for @VeryPC_Colin_M 4
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 You had to do it @hallb15! You know that Netgear stuff you needed?... I've eaten it! LOL; but seriously that is quality. I do have great legs.
kearton Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 I think the time machine got me here too... I've only just seen yesterday's video... @VeryPC, where on earth can I buy that Licorice Toffee from please??? {WAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!}
hardtailstar Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Having seen one of the previous prizes in a well known supermarket yesterday and how much it was, I can say 'No expense has been spared in this Madvent prize draw!'
Little-Miss Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Please be finding bauble and putting one of these things on it.... Edited December 10, 2013 by Little-Miss 1
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 Having seen one of the previous prizes in a well known supermarket yesterday and how much it was, I can say 'No expense has been spared in this Madvent prize draw!' Which one was it? I'm trying to work out if it was actually really expensive or you saw it on sale for next to nothing. We bough a few of the prizes at wholesale, so it's difficult to tell. Al
X-13 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Please be finding bauble and putting one of these things on it.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]21923[/ATTACH] Correct me if I'm wrong... but are you saying you wish to see video evidence of Miley Cyrus riding on @VeryPC's baubles? 1

We bough a few of the prizes at wholesale, so it's difficult to tell. Al It was the giant Lindor, you probably got it cheaper then! lol
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Please be finding bauble and putting one of these things on it.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]21923[/ATTACH] I'll promote one of the table baubles to the tree just for this purpose. Thanks, Al EDIT - You also earned a bonus entry for this - I almost forgot! Edited December 10, 2013 by VeryPC
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 It was the giant Lindor, you probably got it cheaper then! lol I forget exactly how much it was without asking accounts to dig out the invoice, but it must have been within the acceptable parameters for a Madvent prize (not TOO expensive - we try to keep our spending down so we can charge less for our computers), and some shops probably put a hefty markup on it I'm sure. Al
kearton Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 It was the giant Lindor, I saw these at CostCo last weekend. I can't remember the price but it wasn't what I'd call "cheap"... PS @VeryPC Al... did you see my previous question re: where can I buy the licorice toffee from pls?
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I saw these at CostCo last weekend. I can't remember the price but it wasn't what I'd call "cheap"... PS @VeryPC Al... did you see my previous question re: where can I buy the licorice toffee from pls? Oh yes! I did, but got distracted by the Lindor Ball chat. The liquorice toffe came from a local* confectionery wholesalers, but is also available from their online shop. This link is going to take a little of the magic out of MADvent, but I'd rather just be straightforward with you: Walkers Nonsuch Liquorice Hammer Pack Toffee | Buy Wholesale Sweets - Wholesale Sweets Some prizes cost more than others, but I like to think that they are all worth winning! Al *EDIT - I say local, but they have warehouses all over. This one just happens to be local to us. Edited December 10, 2013 by VeryPC 1

Al This one probably did have a hefty mark up! I wont say how much so as not to spoil anything* *most people have probably seen it anyway

(or is that just me) 3
VeryPC Posted December 10, 2013 Author Posted December 10, 2013 The image of the toffee made me laugh out loud - the hancocks.co.uk watermark is rather unfortunately placed! (or is that just me) It was just you, until I went back and looked again. Get that URL past your filters! Blimey... Al
kearton Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 The liquorice toffe came from a local* confectionery wholesalers I've never understood why "wholesalers" would want to LIMIT their customer base and ONLY sell to businesses rather than Joe Public Is the online shop limited to business customers too?
