sparkeh Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Surely "guess the pop culture reference" is a bonus entry game we should be playing? Hells yeah!
Tesla Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 It's not too late you can still enter. (unless i'm missing something..?)

VeryPC Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 It's not too late you can still enter. (unless i'm missing something..?) Quite correct - entries remain open until Midnight on Thursday 18th December, just before the final draw. Al
featured_spectre Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Al...I am liking the screen, can you PM me about it with more info please?
VeryPC Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 Surely "guess the pop culture reference" is a bonus entry game we should be playing? Agreed - great idea, but as this is the "mini" version of MADvent, everything is simplified, which means no bonus entries this time I'm afraid. Still, you can play along just for fun! What pop cultural referamabob will we reveal tomorrow? Ooooooooh the excitement is killing me! Al
VeryPC Posted December 1, 2014 Author Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) Al...I am liking the screen, can you PM me about it with more info please? I'll PM you a datasheet and guide price no probs.

sparkeh Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 no bonus entries this time I'm afraid. Haha nice one Al but that's just a joke right? Right Al? Al?
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Haha nice one Al but that's just a joke right? Right Al? Al? I know! Shocking eh? Sorry folks, but me and Will are super busy with loads of other (less fun) work this December and it's stuff we can't put off so MADvent had to be shrunken doon to a manageable size. We even considered skipping it, but we couldn't do that to you lot - We all agreed that MADvent must go on in whatever format we could squeeze in. Hence just the single entry each, no bonuses and no star prize this time (sorry!). ▲BTW what are you supposed to DO with the full stop at the end of a sentence like that▲ with a terminator inside the parentheses already? @witch I'm appealing to your superior knowledge here.

Al According to here:Brackets (and how to use them) - Emphasis you have it right. If the bracketed aside needs a question mark or exclamation mark, you’ll still need to add a full stop on the outside to complete the sentence (like this!). 2

LeightonJames Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Congrats to the winner from yesterday. Forgot about this thread with all the non-excitement of work yesterday
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 According to here:Brackets (and how to use them) - Emphasis you have it right. Yiiiiiissss! Looks a bit wrong, but felt correct. Bonus points for the correct use of punctuation; points deducted for incorrect spelling of bonuses. That's another one I struggle with - my brain knows it's just a single second "s", but my fingers dissagree and go hog wild on the keyboard. Thanks fellas! Al

I don't believe that (a) You and Will actually have real jobs beyond filming contests for our entertainment and delight (b) There can possibly be anything more important to your business - or your own happiness - than us © You're a Geordie, for anything to be shrunken doon, why aye, Duncan I'm blind
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Morning folks! It's time to reveal our second mini-madvent winner....as well as something you probably never knew about Turkeys http://youtu.be/29FIRP2BGYo Congratulations to today's winner - you'll be PM'd shortly to confirm. Remember entries are still open, EduGeek members with a UK mailing address for prizes can enter right now by PMing your professional contact details to the @VeryPC account (minimum: name, email, job title, place of work, address). Thanks a lot, and merry mini-MADvent! Will Edited December 2, 2014 by VeryPC 2
sparkeh Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Its either Jonny Rotten or Bill Nighy. Can't really see the picture. 1
witch Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Well done for getting the punctuation right - sorry, I was wrestling with Office 365 migration and missed the request for help 1
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 I don't believe that (a) You and Will actually have real jobs beyond filming contests for our entertainment and delight (b) There can possibly be anything more important to your business - or your own happiness - than us © You're a Geordie, for anything to be shrunken doon, why aye, Duncan I'm blind (a) Actually making the vids is our hobby, our real job is mining raw computer ore (digitite) from the fractures of South Yorkshire and smelting it down into nuggets of pure PC. (b) There isn't - you lot really are the most important thing to us (◄sincerity alert *tears up*). Business doesn't work without customers. Which is why we wanted to give you a MADvent regardless of other commitments. © I'm actually a ♫Lancastrian in New York(shire)♫ so if ewt, it shudda bin shrunken dewn. Al
Seb1780 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 That's another one I struggle with - my brain knows it's just a single second "s", but my fingers dissagree and go hog wild on the keyboard. Clearly 1
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 Clearly Hah! Well I did tell you. Al - - - Updated - - - Its either Jonny Rotten or Bill Nighy. Can't really see the picture. Bill Nighy - but what movie?
VeryPC Posted December 2, 2014 Author Posted December 2, 2014 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WON SOMETHING You did indeed! I'll PM you for your preferred delivery address for the candy canes. Congratulations. Al
