just got back from lunch.. has anything happened??

lunch update: they are filming some polish film/soap opera on chiswick high road and also the M&S deal where you get 3 items from the deli for a £5 is still there.. i got prawns, some salmon and a portion of chicken. very good.

I'm quite a fan of polish. Do you know if it was a Mr Sheen film or possibly Pledge?

AJ.

no idea, they are filming at balans and also the cafe next door on the high road, they were there last week too and also several times through the last years, hence it leads me to believe its a soap?

at least when you were F5ing you had something to do

i reckon they will be done before 6pm... so POW can go for drinks after having just made 300k

1. its actually 278k
2. most of the proceeds are going to good causes

On the donation to good causes aspect, I think POW may have missed a trick here that could be useful for future lotteries of this kind.

When they did the open day last year, each entrant had to buy tickets. All the ticket proceeds went to a good cause raising a shed load of money. If you won in the lottery, you were given the opprotunity to buy a print. If you lost you still felt good for having donated to a good cause.

If the current lottery was also subject to a charitable donation up front, of say £20, then the number of speculators entering would be reduced and the amount raised for good causes would be increased. If between 2,000 and 20,000 people entered at £20 a pop then that could mean anywhere between £40k and £400k for charity.

A win-win for everyone!?

[moff]

if the emails are sent out you will know because there will be loads on ebay.

i think that we will see more on ebay this time!

Liking your idea mate, makes sense, cuts the number of people just registering for the sake of it, aalso the amount of people registering multiple addresses, and also a good way to help a charity,

I have it from a very reliable source that Taz has the same underwear as can be seen in her avatar (and dark hair)........

Nothing for me yet, need to check my junk mail folder though, might be in there!

Hold tight all.

FREERANGE- forgot to say, TOX is in the box, thanks buddy- looks great.

Gambling laws only changed fairly recently so most don't really know what they are doing! I am more than happy to help them out with some free legals if they want to do something similar in the future

[Deleted]

anyone?

[I like pictures]

I've been found out, and stop looking in my draws!

[taz]

plus the PR for prosecuting an illegal lottery when the proceeds went to charity may be something the Gambling Commission are not making a priority!
