May The 4th Be With You

Friday, May 4th, 2012

On to Sporcle! First up, we played “Name The Things From The Star Wars Movies”, and in a very strong showing Sam scored 19/20. Mandy isn’t quite as geeky as Sam or I, so she scored a 9 that was disappointing in quiz context but much more impressive in the coolness stakes. Despite Sam’s valiant effort, I scored the full 20/20 to score the victory.

Quiz two was heavily Sam-biased, asking whether 50 quotes were from Star Wars (which we’ve all seen) or Spaceballs (which I’ve never seen). Mandy scored a pretty good 38/50 but was just beaten by Sam’s very solid 40. However, in a show of heroism that Han Solo himself would be proud of, I pipped him to the post with 41.

So the scores at the end of this week:

1st: Murray “The Reflection Of Perfection” Dougall – 11 points

2nd: Sam “The Man That Gravity Forgot” Nicholls – 6 points

3rd: Mandy “The Supreme Quizzing Machine” Evans – 3 points + 1 game in hand

What’s that flavour? Win £50,000 with Walkers!

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Earlier this month, the kind folks at Walkers sent us a sneaky preview of three mystery crisp flavours. Munching them down was the easy part but trying to guess the flavours isn’t as easy as it sounds. We thought we would be bringing the big reveal to you this week but Walkers have instead put an interesting twist on things…

Walkers are now giving you the chance to take a guess for yourselves. Although our little office guessing game was just for fun; now you could win £50,000 just for eating a bag of crisps! Now that’s tasty. 

Grab yourself a bag of Mystery flavour A, B or C available at any self-respecting fried potato vendor, have a little nibble and make your guess at www.walkers.co.uk or www.facebook.com/walkers. Three correct guessers will win the grand prize and we’ll finally discover the secret of the mystery flavours on Friday 9th March. Is it a sign of my crisp addiction that I’m really excited about this?

 Walkers What's That Flavour

Just to help you whittle it down, here are some suggestions for flavours that are almost certainly not correct:

Gary Lineker’s Feet Flavour
Potato Flavour
Jealousy Flavour
Ice Cream and Custard Flavour
Cold-Chinese-For-Breakfast Flavour
Prawn Cocktail Flavour 2: Revenge of the Prawns
Eyelash Flavour

Happy guessing!

WIN a Samsung G Series Fridge Freezer

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Happy Wednesday gadgeteers! Our blog has been re-arranged a little this week, because today we’re very excited, and I’ll tell you why: we’ve teamed up with the good people over at AppliancesOnline.co.uk to bring you our biggest competition prize ever! The Samsung G-Series Fridge Freezer with Ecospace is an absolutely wicked addition to any kitchen, and this one could be yours for FREE! Zip. Nada. Zilch. The hole of a doughnut.

As far as incredible features go, the G-series is the only one that has everything, including ultra thin insulation technology which allows the inner walls to be much slimmer without increasing its outside dimensions or compromising the cooling performance.

As well as the ultra thin insulation, it has multi-flow cooling, which makes sure every shelf stays the same temperature, and a smart eco system that constantly updates how hard the fridge has to work; open and close the door a few times and it works harder, leave it unattended for a few days and it saves power, cutting down your electricity bill and pollution.

The coolest sounding feature is the Power Freeze option, which rapidly freezes fresh food to keep more of the nutrients and flavour locked in, presumably by creating a miniature blizzard vortex in the freezer like some sort of ice-based supervillain.

All you need to do to win this piece of kitchen kit is answer a very simple question over on our competition page: Up to how many extra litres of space does the standard Samsung G-Series provide?

A: 40 litres
B: 50 litres
C: 60 litres

How are we supposed to answer that? I hear you ask. Hold on, don’t panic, head over to the Appliance Online G-Series page, take a look around and then who knows? It might end up being you that gets to take it home; it really is all that easy.

In other competition news, this weeks Like It! is almost over, so get yourself to our Facebook page and you could find yourself walking away with the Floating Bottle Rope.
