Starsailor have very kindly given me a selection of items to give away as competition prizes, including CDs, posters, promo cards etc. I got a couple of the items signed at the Virgin Megastore signing on Tuesday 16th September 2003 and these will be the first prize each in two categories of the draw. I will separate the entries into two draws, for overseas and UK entries to ensure that there is an equal chance of winning for everyone.

Full details, with a photo of some of the prizes is on the Good Souls Interactive section of the site and you will need to fill in the form on the page to enter. You can access it directly at:

URL removed as the competition is closed and I'm still getting entries.
The 12" x 12" Silence Is Easy promo card that the boys have signed was used by them in various publicity photos they took at the signing (it was one I'd taken with me for them to sign) and after the photographs they signed it for me, for the competition.

The deadline may be today, but with the large number of correct entrants this time, which still have to be verified, you can be assured that I won't be contacting winners until tomorrow, as stated on the Good Souls page with the details. I knew after returning from holiday it would take some time to finalise, as a lot of entries arrived while I was away.

I'm just actually looking carefully through the entries now for the first time and I have to say that a lot of regular MB contributors have disqualified themselves purely by careless applications and failure to read the instructions, even where the answer they've given is correct.

I'll give you a one hour amnesty until the closing deadline at 5pm GMT TODAY- if you think you may have done it incorrectly, please visit the submission page again and send another entry. I'll only allow a second entry for people I've already put aside as being disqualified through silly errors, if they already have the answer correct on their first entry. I do at least expect people to know their own names and e-mail addresses - it is made very clear on the page what is expected of you, so I will adhere strictly to that.

URL removed as the competition is closed and I'm still getting entries.

I'm sorry, but the competition deadline passed an hour and a half ago, so those that are hurriedly sending in entries just now, you're too late I'm afraid, no further entries after 5pm will be accepted.

I'm afraid you were and I have to apply the rules absolutely equally to every entry. There were clear indications on the web page as to the information required and that it would be validated.

Whether the rule is harsh or not is irrelevant, it was a stated rule and was simply enforced. Unfortunately, the only way to be totally fair is to apply the rules evenly to everyone. I have several entries here from people who aren't even registered on the MB, who just make up a name and add their e-mail address and hope I don't check - but I do - every entry - and I also have several from the same people where they try and send in several with either different answers if they're not sure of it, or want to try and increase their chances and join up more than once.

I can hardly disallow an entry from one person when I can't find their membership for the name they've given, then allow someone else because I happen to know they're a member. I have to be even handed in the application of rules that were very clearly stated from the outset.

It's disappointing when regulars end up missing out, but I do spell it out and can't really help it if people change their usernames or enter the wrong e-mail address - I do try and stress it so that silly mistakes aren't made, but they still are.
