We're still tallying up and contacting the winners. It turns out it's a much bigger job than we estimated (as we have to choose a winner - all fifty of 'em - then manually look into the database to get their email address, then send them an email, then wait for a response, and hope it has all of the requested info, then send them the tickets etc).

All of that has to be done in and around our normal work. So unfortunately it's a little slower to finish off than we were hoping. Next time we'll try and automate a lot of this to reduce the man hours.

BTW, the surfboard winner was Peter Lewis of Mooloolaba. We announced it via Facebook on Friday afternoon.

I can't believe you didn't win, @Zenagain!
Top marks for effort though. Bonus points for keeping me laughing.

But I did win Rushy. If I gave you a laugh then I'm well in front.

I had a lot of fun, that sort of stuff is right up my alley.

(Whoops, should have saved that for the 'girl named Anal' thread. ha ha!!

Hey Stu , you're no doubt been trying to contact me to give me some of those free tik's, but I've been busy man , it's been pumping down here , anyway ,it went onshore yesterday so I said to the missus ..fuck stu , lets just go and see the flick anyway . Best 40 bucks I've spent in awhile and it beats handsdown reading your crap everyday.
I know my brand name was " kool " but I donate my tiks anyway to one of those poor eastcoasters, cause , checking the forecasts...they have nothing better to do .
