http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10676443.Couple_celebrate_Win_a_Wedding_competition_joy/Daniel, who is a duty manager for Network Rail overseeing developments at Reading train station, bought 5,500 copies of the newspaper at a value of £3,575 in an effort to swing the votes in their favour.
Leanne and two friends then spent four days hand cutting and stamping the vouchers from the paper ahead of the September 7 voting deadline. I would've laughed so hard if they didn't win.

Wasn't there a yank years ago that tried to win the lottery by buying every single ticket. Only in his wisdom, he didn't realise he would never have enough time to get all the tickets fed into the machines. I think the story was he got about 50% entered in time, and fortunately still won.

He has had a massive touch.
And I don't mean winning the competition.

People that invade your personal space. Had some prat stood about quarter of an inch behind me in a queue, then when I got to the till he put his carrier bag right next to my shopping  I was tempted to step back on his toes

Tis slightly misleading that article.According to my info ( mate at work - Chelsea ST holder and member of the above group ) there are 95 ish members and Chelseas stance was they couldnt give every member a ticket so those that were ST holders were to buy thru usual routes and the club would do its best to fill the remainder Prolly doesnt read as good though

How sad is that
Incredibly. Also if they've got £4k to spend on papers, surely they could have afforded to pay for their own wedding? Got to admire their honesty though. I would imagine the other contestants will call it an unfair win though?

Chelsea game. GTA 5 will always be on sale, the Chelsea game is only happening once.

The thing is they spent £4k on the adver but got a £10k wedding out of it, it was a risk that workedout. Does £10k ev en pay for a wedding now?

There were grown men boasting about pulling a sicky from work to play a video game on Radio 5 last night.
Every single adult male who did this should be hunted down and castrated. Sad, sad cunts.
