This site of german electronics store Conrad holds a contest with lots of goodies you can win.

Solus Group: Members Posts: 13 Joined: June 2005 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 07:33 Can only Germans enter the competition, or is it free for anyone? I'm from Croatia, and it would be good if I could participate, but I doubt it... -------------- I reject your reality, and substitute my own. Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 07:54 I see nothing that gives any restrictions on who can enter. For those puzzling, the question is "What is the name of Mike Oldfield's new album?". Anrede is title (you can choose Herr - Mr - Frau - Mrs - or Ohne Anrede - no title) Vorname is first name, Nachname is surname, and eMail-addresse is obvious! By entering, you agree to them an announcement (i.e. that you've won) in words/images, and to subscribe to the Conrad newsletter (so perhaps be careful what email address you give them, unless you're sure you know you're going to be able to manage to unsubscribe). No legal recourse is possible (i.e. their decision is final, taking them to court if you don't win won't work...). Up for grabs are five MP3 players signed by Mike, ten Mike Oldfield T Shirts, ten Mike Oldfield lighters, and vouchers for use at Conrad's store (one 50 euro, two 25 euro and five 10 euro).

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 10:41 No, not at all. It's perfectly on-topic here, and I think it's likely to be of interest to a lot of people here. There'd only be a problem if it was spam advertising in some way, or if it appeared to be a scam (though whether we'd delete it or just post a warning might depend on the circumstances). Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 10:52 I found it very interesting at least in that it shows L + S lighters and t shirts. One of which can be be used to get rid of the other in case of dissatisfaction. Perhaps they can take all those unsold "Lord of the Rings" gold rings and engrave them with some sort of L + S logo and resell those. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 12:30 Really, most appropriate would be lighters and sunglasses - then the well-to-do fan will always have his light and his shades. Lighters would be good things for the slower numbers at a gig...shame it won't happen. Judging by some of the reactions to the album, perhaps the lighters could be used to dispose of that too (I guess those who get a T Shirt could just wrap the album up in that, spin round with it like a hammer thrower and chuck it into a river...not that I'm in favour of polluting the waterways, you understand...). By the way, I forgot to say that the 'Videobotschaft' is a little video message from Mike - click 'Download - Videobotschaft' to watch it (you'll need something that can play Windows Media files to open it). Looks like the kids left their webcam connected and Dad just couldn't resist having a play with it... Back to top

A gig? Slower numbers? Or both? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Korgscrew Group: Super Admins Posts: 3511 Joined: Dec. 1999 Posted: Oct. 07 2005, 16:32 The answer is of course Master Of Puppets. There's another competition on mikeoldfield.de - again, it's basically for the purposes of collecting people's contact details, so think carefully about what information you give them. Again there are lighters and T Shirts to be won. Back to top
