Competition time: two chances to win £25 of Amazon vouchers

13 December 2009 Rob Buckley 24 Comments

It’s my birthday today (December 7th). Woo hoo!

So in an unfeasible act of generosity, I’m giving away two £25 Amazon.co.uk vouchers in time for you to do your Christmas shopping. This time, there’s no barrier to entry, since all you have to do to enter the competition – subject to the terms and conditions – is leave a comment below (or if you prefer, email me). No anonymous entries for obvious reasons, please.

Deadline for entry is 11.59pm GMT on Sunday 13th December, after which two winners will be randomly picked from a hat and told how lucky they are.

Incidentally, the prizes are being provided by PromotionalCodes.org.uk, which offers free promotional voucher codes for shops like Argos and Marks and Spencer. Thank them nicely by clicking through (they might offer more prizes): at the very least, you might get some shopping vouchers.

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery.

Every photo displayed on Monday (one per person who sends one in) gets a point, with a bonus point if it’s from the latest DT production; the best pic in the stash each week will appear on Friday and get three points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Friday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
