Win a Qantas Trinket celebrating the QF/EK partnership

[FrustratedQP]

Yes, very funny. Well done.

Just love the winning entry - so funny but so relevant! (and so annoying). So creative Sickeningthud! Congratulations.

Agree with the winner - as soon as I read that entry, I thought the thread would be locked (But then how would JohnM increase his post count..)

 

[docjames]

Congrats 'thud.

I liked that one too.

Well deserved winner.

And the most fun I've had in a competition in a while - IMHO beats trying to be eloquent in 25 words!

 

[JohnM]

Congratulations Sickeningthud. I've never experienced that message - and never want to - but I palpably feel the angst when people get hit with it.

Yours and Sydneyairportripoff's post #53 (the Pyongyang one) were my favourites. Some of mine were probably close to be actionable - thank goodness for anonymity!

A well deserved win - but remember to check the drilled hole alignment BEFORE the piercer installs it :!:.

Great fun all round!

Nice one Sickeningthud & congrats. I had a good chuckle when I read that. I knew it would win :mrgreen:

 

[Greggsy]

I'm still stunned that JohnM get the chocolates here.

And we have a winner, sadly only the one, I have read this thread quite a few times and there were some very good entries.

Thanks to QF for the trinket, for the mods for deciding the winner, and everyone else for making me smile with the entries. Nice one, thud

I guess my plans for joyce-bot acquired world aviation domination will have to wait for another day....

I know my avatar features some regal types, but I would never consort to such impedimenta.

Three things Greggsy:

1. I withdrew myself from contention because once I got on my little roll, it was more for the fun than to win the trinket. I have my moments - occasionally. I just couldn't stop thinking about that photo while I was on the cough waves that have persisted recently over here.

2. Most of my contributions were potentially offensive or could be misinterpreted by some, so the Mods have, very sensibly, excluded those from the shortlist they published. I thought their choice was very pertinent to AFF - pithy but in no way could offend anyone. The Pyongyang one was pertinent to the world situation but less specific to AFF.

3. I'm fully loaded with piercings in the only sensible place that contraption could go . I want 'thud to really FEEL that thing hang - hopefully not crookedly :mrgreen:.

Consent to, or consort with? I dare say the average royal family around the place does not share your reticence - expand your horizons!

The trinket was going to be second prize, with first prize being a dedicated car park at DXB, unfortunately someone took the car park before I could claim it

If you'd taken your hammer and cold chisel, 'thud could soon be wearing a very big belt buckle .
