phone in ripoff competitions

[big-all]

apart from the fact they are a con

i think when you phone you shoud not only know the cost off the call you should also know how much goes to the service provider

aaannndd in addition when the competition is complete the total amount off money spent [on phone calls] the percentage on "service "costs percentage in prize money and worst off all the percentage going in unearned profit to the tv company [or who ever are advertising the competition]

keeping in mind its the service provider that runs the service and the tv companys do no more than give the numbers out

do you think this is a fair way to [help] pay for programs!!!!!!!

Like the lottery, it's a method for extracting money from the ignorant and foolish.

moz why don't you just not watch?

Because the remotes are next to the TV (WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?) and he's on the sofa, just got comfy after a hard days work and cant be bothered to get the remotes.


Yeah, anyway, why do people keep the remote controls next to the TV? It is the worst place to keep them! Keep them on the table next to the sofa!

Try Googling on Alex Lovell - Its impossible not to watch.

(I won 1500 quid on Brainteaser (the show of which Moz speaks) earlier this year, so am cheerfully disposed towards it)
