WORLD FIRST: Corona Virus support Giveaway.

[cbr1000]

As the proud parent of a healthcare worker (who I worry and pray about every day during these crazy times) I say thank you!

If my entry should win, I'd like the knife to go to cbr1000 .

That's very nice of you, thank you!

I'm sure your son/daughter worries about you just as much if not more! I worry about my mom. She is over 70, renal insufficiency, and non insulin dependent diabetes... all the things you don't want right now. She grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere without good child care - between that and growing up during a time when everyone smoked, her lungs aren't great. Anyway, she worries about me, I worry about her...

On a lighter note, a couple good things have come from this. First, people don't look at me crazy when I use my own knife instead of using the cafeteria plastic knives at work. Second, who would of thought you can carry a GEC 78 in a mask .

Not an entry, but a tip of the hat for a nice offering.

Great picture, Meako.
Looks like a beautiful day in Paradise.

We just switched off daylight savings time...so not getting up in the dark...nice.
The TC has gone to the scarmongers...might take awhile due to them being closed but i banged on the doors and made them open up specially...navigated the savage little Staffys....and left it for planning..

 

[meako]

Ok ..final call...Ill wait till Tuesday morning ...owing to time difference...so theres still time to enter..
Good Luck All.

OK First off Thank You all for entering my groundbreaking giveaway. I sincerely wish I could give everyone of you the prize.Alas thats not possible.
Now before I did the draw this morning I was looking at the newspaper crossword and much to my surprise and grim sense of humour I would draw your attention to the clue 1 Down.

Basically I wrote all the entries on bits of paper and put them on the table with some bread underneath....the rest was easy.

I simply waited for my flamboyant winged minions to start scrapping and whosever name fluttered to the ground first is the winner.
the scrap of paper please.....(rustle rustle) and the winner is
CHUCK 4570 FOR JOHN D F.

Not very surprising due to almost 50% of the entries were in your favour....doesn't get much better than that!
Cheers Chuck and
Congratulations John...pm me with your postal details and I'll get the wheels in motion.
Cheeronas.
Stay Safe.
