FreeWill Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Good show - enjoyed meeting Grumbledook Annodata give you a free 512MB pen drive if you listen to their marketing talk. Lamp house give you a free mug and a Kitkat. Insight have a competition to win a 24" HP TFT. Lego have a keyring (hurrah!) Anyone you buy something off / have bought something off previously is worth visiting - they may make you nice offers for lunch and coffee
Guest richard Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Just reminded me I need some more lollipops for my daughter so will have to have a chat with my account manager at Viglen and blag a couple of hundred again
projector1 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 do dell still have the robot outside there stand (and are the still giveing out rulers?)
elsiegee40 Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Must have: BBC Jam bag/ (nice wide shoulder straps to bear the load of freebies) - also do a mug White dog Soft Toy from Office Depot
alonebfg Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 i think i win the comp for the most freebies: 3 * 256 pen drives 1 * bbc/jam cup 1 * bbc/jam bag (and been told they want a visit) 1 * promethin board pen ( all ours keep breaking so had a winge) 15 bottles of water and a bit of cake sandwich of my choice ( someone wanted to know was i ok working as a tech being disabled) he thought he upset me when i told him it was my knees not my brain (stonger words were used) so got dinner. i also got lots of other rubbish i had the problem that i had to keep sitting down and when i did they fillen my bag. maneged to fill big ramsys bag and bbc bag. i did get to see the guys at the stand and have already looked into vmware also putting my foot down during half term ie they are loosing the server. Next year have already been told i am going lol and also benn told next time i can say for the duration woo hoo. oh and by the way the only stand i did not get a freebie of silly mags was the coolest and most helpful stand of all cant remember the name of it but it was g89 very friendly and helpful
elsiegee40 Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Not sure I could have lugged that lot home! I did have a lunch time bag rationalisation to keep the useful things (pen drives, mug, dog, stress balls, neck strap, etc and some paper) and dispose of the most useless of the paper and the sweetie papers! The strings on the Ramsys bag cut into my shoulder so I dumped that too!
alonebfg Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 yep it did but i had nowhere else to put it all ( next time i am brining a rucksac i only got one stress ball but i think my bargan was the board pen i nearly got two but then he decided he needed it.
Zoom7000 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I won Microsoft Student 2006 last year after answering a question at the MS seminar. It's still staring at me all still covered in it plastic wrapping, so I never bothered answering this year! Wikipedia is miles better than Encarta anyway! I got the usual stuff too, BBC Jam Mug and Bag (The bags were in super demand!) Adobe Highlighter pens Epson Bottle of Water! I still can't believe I paid £1.95 for that damn cookie at the cafe! Didn't notice any stress balls this year though, also missed out on the USB Flash Drive. Oh well, here's to my new 4Gb Corsair Flash Voyager! No free copies of Vista from MS and no complementary iPod Nano's from Apple! Very Very Poor!
Sylv3r Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 I either obvioussly wasn't looking in the right places or didn't blag myself as good as you lot. All I ended up with was: Stick of Candy rock from CSE Corel Pen Birchfield Mug HSDataline Calander Sims.net Calander
carosd Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hello, joined up today! Promethean had bouncy balls that lit up and magnetic light up badges, also got 2 mugs from E2Bn, frog biscuits from frogteacher, sticks of rock, an orange branded with company name, chocolate money from sims, Netgear bags had a large choc bar in, chocolate coffee beans from espresso (can you spot a theme?), branded water from espresso, pc world et al., promethean calendar, pens and postit notes galore and 30 metal badges for children from scantec. Helped to have come as a family - lots of stands gave stuff to the kids. But what I really wanted was that tshirt on edugeek stand "You don't have to be posh to be privileged...but it helps to have administrator rights" (or something similar). Pretty please?
