Time to announce the winner of the Sky+ competition.
However, we had two contestants this time. Holding remote control one was Lesley Smith who didn't really plead at all, simply asked to be added to the list, which should technically have disqualified her from winning. However, she's away on business right now (judging from the out of the office reply message that she's been sending in response to the daily MINE email digest), so can't escalate her case easily.
Holding remote control two was a previous competition winner, Ms Rullsenberg, who while making quite a good case for why she needed Sky+, didn't officially enter herself into the competition. I gave her 'til Sunday to enter, but judging from her latest blog entry, she's very busy right now.
Tricky, hey?
So, I'm postponing the final decision and opening the floor to you, gentle reader. The competition will remain open another couple of days. If anyone else wants to enter, you still can. But if you think either Lesley or Rullsenberg (or both) are eligible to win the prize based on their current responses, speak up now!
Bear in mind, by the way, that the voucher's only valid until the 28th of July, so I'm going to need responses quickly!

Eeek, in my defense I am out of the office - flying to the US in fact for Comic Con - and it's my first time using out of office so bear with me. It's a work in progress.
My case is this: while I miss UKTV Food and the Sci Fi Channel, oh and Sky One as well the altruist in me would pass the box on to my brother. He wants Sky so badly he's been selling all the games related promo stuff I've passed to him on eBay so his wife will let him get hooked up. I'm completely serious!
Do I win?

Wait and see... As the only valid entrant now, you're in with a good chance, at least!

I think Lesley should be the winner, since I feel morally obliged to maintain the semblance of avoiding Rupert-related materials (having already got myself condemned on having Beardy-weirdy's phone and internet)
