FN-GM Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Hi, At Bett 2009 i won a mug by being the 5th person to phone in. I haven't got it yet. I know the postal service in the UK isn't the best but surely this is a little to long?
elsiegee40 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 FN-GM My personal thought is that perhaps this would have better been resolved by a quiet PM to one of the mods/DB or a post on the Message the Mods board. Its' not something that needs to be discussed in public really, is it? Did you ever PM anyone your address?
FN-GM Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 I have sent many PM's and have been promised it would be sent. I can really see the harm in posting it here. The main reason was incase it happened to anyone else.
elsiegee40 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 If that is the case, I can see your point. Even so, I personally wouldn't have posted publicly. This is, after all, a site run by volunteers and you haven't lost any money. I'm sure they'll get themselves organised soon.
Domino Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 hmmm - sorry to split hairs, but weren't you promised this by Mandy from Westwood.....
FN-GM Posted April 27, 2009 Author Posted April 27, 2009 no idea i was told that she was just the one sorting them out.
elsiegee40 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Domno's right... http://www.edugeek.net/forums/bett-2009/29124-whoo-i-won-my-mug.html Perhaps a PM to Mandy (Her phone number and email are in that thread too!)
witch Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Don't know about that one but I do know that Dos_Box is just sorting out some more and has a list of people who should be getting one - I should imagine you are on that list. Maybe a quiet pm to him?
GrumbleDook Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Mandy had the mug, Mandy promised him a mug ... I think you should get a paid first class train ticket from them to go and collect it ;-)

EduTech Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Tbh, it's only a mug you aint going anywhere in a hurry are yah ? i am sure within time you will get the mug you really want until then use the ones you have at home and just wait for the special time to come.. lol I am sure if you sent the admins/mods/sponsors your address it will be done when they get a chance.
Heebeejeebee Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I was the first one at the stand - got the raffle ticket to prove it - where's my mug Only joking! HBJB
GrumbleDook Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I think you might find that otheres were first on the stand ... namely DB, Ric, ZH, et al ... do you hear us moaning about not having a mug? Oh ... that's because we have one ... and some even got another one from Smoothwall too (hope they are having fun at InfoSec today!)
bmdixon Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I've got one! Although i daren't bring it in because it will probably get broken/stolen and i'll never be able to get another! It is currently behind bulletproof glass with a padlock...
GrumbleDook Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I actually have 2. The first I picked up last may at the conference but I picked up the wrong bag when leaving and it had a broken mug in (ZH was happy as it meant he had a perfectly formed mug), and I have it in the office to hold pens, etc. The other one is at home, on my desk ... next to the cap and other accessories!

GrumbleDook Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Do you really want my Admin's shirts back after I've worn them? Damn ... means I have to wash them.
webman Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Isn't this a story of two halves? Do we need to get a handle on things?
Gatt Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 FN-GM - i have a confession - i MUGged the postie when he was delivering it to you!! what?
sparkeh Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Meh, I got one at the stand just for asking nicely, its nothing special to be honest........ ........of couse I'm lying! Its freakin' sweet and my most treasured possession and no one's getting their hands on it *shifty eyes*
Dos_Box Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 There will be more free mugs at the conf, plus other very nice freebies. Just to let you all know.
