Fresh water crocodiles

You are not going to believe this, I still don't... I was chatting to David (of the Wulff variety) and he mentioned that he was listening to SBNLive, a UK radio station. It was the late show and they have spot competitions where the DJ mentions an object and you have to send a link to a picture of it. So for a laugh I waited for the next comp. and sent in a link. It was a link to a fresh water crocodile. The next thing I know this pommy northerner is announcing that I won... :laugh::laugh::laugh: First thing I have ever won on radio and it happens through a refferal by David Wulff via an online radio stream from the UK at 3 in the morning. Life is truly grand!

But they emailed back, asked for the address and said they would pop it in the post. The DJ even announced I was from SA, so they do know :-D (they also accused David and I of running a radio competition scam ring seeing as David has won many times before)

benjymous wrote: they obviously haven't heard of google image search ... which is the perfect tool for the competition. I am pretty sure the DJ knows about it as he seems pretty web savvy. The odd thing is that my radio broadcast was 30 seconds delayed (buffering on WMP), plus I was sending the email from SA, yet I still beat all the other contestants... I reckon he saw the South Africa bit and chose me based on that. Add a bit of international flavour, shaken, not stirred :rolleyes:
