And the Winner Of The Tsogo Sun Competition Iiiiiiiisssssss…

JudithKeppel2Please believe me when I say this decision was not an easy one. There were at least three entries that made me actually laugh out loud, but sadly there can be only one winner.

At first I thought I’d chased potential entrants away by asking people to write a “well written” and funny sentence explaining why they need a holiday.

Over the course of the day entries did start to come through though, some more awesome than others, so before I announce the winner, I thought I’d give some props to the entries that came close.

Master Bates’ entry would definitely have won hands down if this was a “who can tell the sickest joke” competition, so thanks for that one, I’ll be sure to use it at the next dinner party I go to.

 

 

Cubicled Chris also got a chuckle out of me with his pants-shitting shenanigans, as did Keenan Harduth with his sneaky tale of a dropped ice cream (I see what you did there Keenan and I approve).

Lastly Tim, you killed me dude. It would have been you hands down if I was judging this on humour alone, but unfortunately it also had to explain why you need a holiday, which unfortunately yours failed to do.

So with no further ado, please join me in congratulating the winner of the Tsogo Sun weekend getaway competition, “Soon to be unemployed” whose entry read as follows:

 

A mail to all the boys has just been sent to All staff and now all the staff know that I like blondes, nipple clamps and chimpanzees

 

You had me at blondes and nipple clamps, but chimpanzees?! Wow dude, you need a holiday BADLY!

Expect a mail from your Tiger pal soon to sort you out with a prize, congrats!

The rest of you, the good news is that the Tsogo Sun Sunbreaks Summer Sale is still on until 8pm tonight so jump in there, you can still get 25% off the holidays listed there.

Let the summery good times roll Winking smile

Win A Weekend Getaway Courtesy Of Tsogo Sun And Your Tiger Pal

TsogoSale1 - 800px wideThe competitions are coming in thick and fast on TFW these days folks which means I can finally reward my loyal readers with some boodle.

That’s right, boodle. I chose that word carefully to invoke piratey scenes of golden rolling dunes, blue skies, turquoise oceans and rum because if you play your cards right, that’s exactly what you’ll win.

See, my new buddies over at Tsogo Sun have officially launched a summer sale where you can save 25% on a holiday at one of their hotels in Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal or the Western Cape, but you gotta move fast, the offer closes tomorrow at 8pm!

Alternatively, you could just win a weekend getaway for two at one of the hotels listed in the link above by doing something I like to call “writing well”.

 

 

“Writing well” is not as easy as it looks on this site. Sure most people have a keyboard and can push the buttons on it, but can they push those buttons in exactly the right order to create something meaningful? Something that could win them the free weekend of a LIFETIME?!

Only one way to find out…

The rules are simple. Write me one sentence in the comments section below telling me why you need a holiday.

And please don’t give me a bleeding-heart story about some depressing tragedy you’ve endured that somehow qualifies you for a holiday.

 

 

This is not a soap opera, it’s a blog site for people with a sense of humour.

So the golden rule applies, make me laugh and you’re in with a fighting chance, capiche?

One sentence explaining why you need a holiday that is funny (the sentence, not the holiday).

If you feel your first attempt is rubbish, you are more than welcome to enter more than once, but try to cap it at 5 entries or you’ll start looking desperate and the other kids on the site will laugh at you.

Entries will close at 5pm and a winner will be announced tomorrow at 9am.

Here’s the small print in bolded writing:
