Guess the socks - win a bell contest.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

Okay, those of you who don't have an over-active spam filter may be aware that the latest Bear Bones News email featured a competition. All you had to do was email and tell me what colour socks I had on. The names of those guessing correctly would be placed into a hat and a lucky winner would recieve a rather nice Timber bell.

Mildly surprised that less than 20 people bothered to enter and utterly stunned that only 3 people actually guessed correctly - although thanks to those folk who believe I'm weird enough to wear purple and orange socks and kinky enough to sport lace hold-ups.

Anyway, the correct answer was BLACK and the first name out of the hat was, Matt 'bunnyhop' Harvey ... well done sir, a new bell on the way.

Easiest thing to do is go and sign up again - if you do it yourself, it shouldn't hit the spam filter.

I smiled a little at it if that's any consolidation?

I never got the newsletter (although it says my email is already signed up) and it is not in my spam either.

I feel cheated and deprived :cry:

Well, didn't want to encourage you incase the next competition was "What colour undercrackers am I wearing?" :lol: :o

And the mental imagery when it turns out the answer was 'none'....
