Competition Time:
Posted by Robert Lambie on December 23, 2005 at 4:34 am[left]https://www.uksignboards.com/images/general/competition/comp-news.gif[/left][right]https://www.uksignboards.com/images/general/competition/comp-ads.gif[/right]Competition!
£500 Worth of goodies up for grabs in our new UKSB Competition
sponsored by Graphtec GB & Impact Sign Solutions.With the end of the year drawing near, & we all kick back and try to get into the festive spirit. We thought, what better way add a bit of fun on UKSB than a competition, courtesy of Graphtec GB & Impact Sign Solutions.
We thought about all the usual type contests run on sites, but we wanted something a bit different, something dead easy, something “everyone” could have a go at, as many times as they like!So here is the task!
We want you to create an ode, a poem, or a rap! 😀
Where are you all going? Come back! 😮 :lol1:
Pick one of them and do your own thing. Doesn’t matter what or how you do it.
You could even sing/record it if you fancied. It just has to be good, different, funny, whatever.
There is a catch though! Somewhere, anywhere in it. You “must” include the sponsors names & of course UKSB.
e.g.
“Graphtec or Graphtec GB”
“Impact Software or Impact sign solutions”
“UKSB or uksignboards.com”I think if you manage the full names it would be good, but not really necessary.
You can enter as many times as you wish.
You can pick one, or do them all.
Any Registered user of UKSB can enter, No matter were your located in the world.All entries must be sent to admin@uksignboards.com
Competition closes 3rd of Jan 2006

Am I allowed to have a go seeing as Jeff works for one of the sponsors?
I hope so, as he’s absolutely useless at poems anyway :lol1: -

Peter
-
Rob, can you please clarify, is it ok to include just one of the sponsors and/or uksb, or all off them, or any?
Thankspeter
-
sorry for confusion folks.
all sponsors must be included. e.g. impact, uksb & graphtec.
closing date is the 3rd.
entries to be sent via email only.russ, feel free to email me your entry mate.
-
had another couple of entries in tonight. to say i found them funny is an understatment. had tears in my eyes again….. :lol1: :lol1:
please keep them coming. this is good!
-
Rob, I didn’t appreciate that, so that means I have to do mine all over again 🙁 . Trying to do that without laughing was difficult.
Dave
-
not long to go folks…
if you have an entry, please get them in.
note: you can enter as many times as you wish…thanks to everyone that has entred so far… great stuff! 😉
-
well its probably furthest from your mind due to the state you will all probably be in. 😉
but just wanted to remind you all the deadline is closing in on the competition. so thought i would post a wee reminder. 😀i received another entry today, it was a “written song”. now i know i never put a song down as being allowed. but i am going to allow it, as a “rap” sorta comes under that catagory anyway…
so come on folks, join in the fun, if not to win something then to have a bit of a laugh, thats what it’s about anyway or we would have chosen a serious subject. so what you waiting for? :tongue: :lol1:
-
quote Robert Lambie:you can enter as many times as you wish…
It would cost me a fortune to enter another one Rob, my entry cost me 2 stubbies of Crown Lager, 1 glass of G&T, a bag of chips, and a glass of red just to come up with the one I entered.
It is good I’m not a drinker…. 😳
-
:lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

Hmmm ….. my pic might have been missing for an hour or so but you see ummmm well you see what happened was …….. aliens from the planet Diddycupwallabopper beemed it up into space for reasons yet unkown … Im sure they had very good reason …… probably because it was a Christmassy pic and its over now so it was a bit out of date … me looking like a scarey blonde elf like person??? 😮 :lol1:
:lol1: and I havent even been drinking!!
Anyway, sorry about the pic <<<< but our “dodgy doesnt work properly digi cam” is in work … however, knowing how some of you would undoubtdly miss seeing my cheeky chubby cheeks … I took a quick snap on my web cam for now …. so sorry for the quality 😛

Great new pic Dave… thanks for that mate. 😀
That light looks like the bit at end of ghost when the spirits come to take Patrick swayze to heaven… 😮
“sam, their waiting sam!”
just joking 😉
-
It looks like you’ve been eating too many pies over Christmas Dave 😉
Yeah I know – bad camera angle and all that :lol1:
-
yes… i was hoping it will hide me… this is me! the shot u seen over the last year is 2003 i suspect. Me need excerise! To many computer screens.
-
maybe phil.. but u r elsewhere on this site though, with Alison
-
na na na hhh phil tells lies
the pic may be ten years old, but its pshoped. you can tell by the ancient comments, he is very very………old (-)
Peter -
Yeah..well at least I’m not still wearing my WW2 flying jacket 😛
-
but how can you critisize a war hero? I am very old and proud of it.
I shot down loads of gerries in this jacket, you ar only able to give your comments because I sacrificed my virginity to give you FREEDOOOMPeter
-
peter, that was mel gibson, ahem… i mean william wallace that did that for us? 😕 😉 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
-
Robert.. can you find a thread, put Phill and Peter in it and ‘lock it’, let them fight in there.
-
Who are you trying to kid, you’re no hero. You got that Jacket from an Army surplus store back in the 70’s – the sunglasses are from Boots the Chemist 😛
-
No Rob, it was me dad, john wayne, we won all the wars, me dad in his jeep, me in me flying jacket..
Which by the way is a genuine copy, made out of compressed cardboard.
No sheep involved 😀
Peter -
quote Dave Rowland:Robert.. can you find a thread, put Phill and Peter in it and ‘lock it’, let them fight in there.
Why would I want to fight with Phil?
His comments are either very serious, or tongue in cheakBesides I think he is a mate and I dont fight mates!
Peter
-
is that better carrie?
You and Dave R both have a mysterious haloPeter
