And on top of that you got to meet Roger Federer (!)
You know, I always think that when I get the email. Looks a spitting image in these pics though.
Congrats again Alun.

I've also managed to get a session at Porsche Driver Centre thingy at Silverstone to learn about the best way to use PDK on track etc
Yay me!
If you ever take it in for a service and the dealer screws up on something. And they offer to wash the car to say sorry...turn them down and see if you can get another go. Worked for the Boss and his pimp Cayenne.Yay me!

Out of curiosity, did you play online or at the airport? And how staged is that phone call!?
Well done chap!
I played online. Â I tend to give in when they send out a 20% voucher Well done chap!
The phonecall is completely real. Â What makes you think it is staged?
Obviously the photos are staged.
I've explained lots about it on my blog.

Ps you can tell I've got a problem as I keep wanting to play the supercar competition with the discount codes!

Oh, fair enough! I dunno, I've listened to quite a few of them and they always sound like the winner knows whats about to happen... somehow they don't usually match the excitement that I'd have if I just wone £40,000 worth of car (or even £100k worth of car)! Oh, and maybe the fact that it sounds like you're sitting in a studio - perfect quality, you don't sound in the slightest bit busy etc!Libertine said:
A BIG clue in the title to your first question!
haha.. oops! It was late at night! Edited by AOK on Saturday 14th August 21:08
Ok, the phone call sounds staged but it just happened to come whilst I was measuring up at our new offices so a large empty space.
I honestly though if someone called me to offer me 25k or a car I'd be shouting and jumping around. Reality is (and you'll never understand til it happens to you) is you are utterly stunned. They've scripted the calls well from their end to make sure you know it is them (other purchases etc) and they work through other elements to prepare you for the big whammy. It's a bit like a freight train approaching but still being stunned by the impact!!!
