However I will not give up and I will not give in! Ie I will keep hassling them!
Ah right i guess I haven't won then think I will head down and try my luck anyway...

So do you still have a chance do you think or will they have to say rules are rules and all that?

Aye, worth a go! I was just referring to Jimmi saying that 9am was the cut off so wondered if his entry would still be allowed or not.

Well, I think I'll just try a few times tomorrow and see what happens. Play the sympathy card etc and you never know? I emailed the dj back and asked if he could let me know if anything comes available but I doubt I'll hear.
I know someone who works in marketing at the council and although the Museum is separate they may be able to work something out for me. In short I'll do all I can!

I would encourage all and sundry to emulate me in all ways. It's honestly worth a go, worst that happens is they tell you to go away.

Can't believe I've won. Think this is the first Manics competition I've ever won.
Well done.Have a great time

Well I've sponged off plenty of your +1's before, so it's about time it was the other way around
