  1. Why must your attempts at humorous posts fail so badly on their arse?
  2. Benitez says no according to official site.
  3. As I said in the other thread, I'd bring this thread back up when I actually get something for free out of this. Got a 4gb Ipod Nano today, going straight to our lass. I'm going away tonight, but will put up a pic of the box and the like in a couple of weeks if need be. It took about a month to complete the site, I then signed up to Blockbuster DVD rental as part of the conditions, stayed on for a month, paid £13 I think it was, for a bunch of DVDs, and about 3-4weeks later got the nano. Not too bad. It wasn't difficult to do, but not the easiest either. If anyone's interested in signing up etc, my website is in my profile i think.
  4. There have been scams, yes, but then there are sites that are certified and supported by respected online communities, like Exceem. They do not allow sites on there that have either not been proven to be real or look at all suspicious. The idea is to use the bigger companies that have already sent out a high number of gifts, rather than new upstarts. For example, a new site has come out offering a scooter for something like 50 referrals, among other things. Now, I wouldn't mind a scooter, but no way am I signing up to that site until they have been proven legit and have sent out gifts for a month or two. It's all about perspective ..
  5. This is where it's all going to fall apart, I can tell. I haven't personally, no. But, I've only literally just started a couple of weeks back. I do promise you do that these people have got their stuff through these websites: http://www.exceem.co.uk/gallery/index.php?c=1 I mean if a little charva from that site can get over a grands worth of free stuff in a couple of months, why can't normal people?
  6. Technically, it's not a pyramid scheme. In a pyramid scheme, those that join have to pay something to someone 'above' them in the pyramid to get any gain. Here, it's free. . I haven't spent anything on this, so there's not much to lose to be honest. I haven't seen spam to be an issue, apart from one case I mentioned earlier. It's in the interest of the company to sign up as many people as they can, so if spam was a problem, it would deter a whole load of potential sign-ups. Oh and if you've got a couple of minutes, this may be interesting: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/pf/20050520a1.asp By the way, I'm not here to spam or anything, just answering a question about my sig like.
  7. I agree that those T+Cs do look to be weighed against the individual and for the company. I think that the first highlighted bit is probably to cover for changes in prices of whatever it is they're giving away. But those extremes in the T+Cs are hardly ever implemented (if ever), there have been one or two websites intending scam, but this gets found out very quickly. The link I posted above, to exceem.co.uk , has quite a lively forum. It's a leading UK community for verifying the 'giveaway networks', a lot of the site owners that actually run those giveaway networks are also regulars on the exceem forum, so there is a trust in respected and established sites. It seems that the piece that the BBC used is no longer on their website, the best I can in terms of coverage for this time of night is this: http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,64614,00.html http://www.anything4free.com/forums/index....&module=gallery That link is the American version of Exceem, and that's the 'proof' gallery of pictures their members have sent in. It is huge in America, much bigger than it is here, and it is scary when you go on their forums and there's people there that have received $14-15,000 worth of freebies. I fully understand your scepticism, I had to read up on this for a fair bit to make sure this 'business' is fully legit, and there is plentyful evidence that it is. I'm happy to answer any questions on this, although it's getting on a bit, need to catch a couple hours of sleep.
  8. Hey, First off, it's not a scam and it is fully legit. (This has been features on BBC and the like, I'm trying to find the link now...) It works like this; 1) You sign up to a website (usually under someone's referral link). 2) Do an offer, some of those offers are free trials, mostly DVD rental, like ScreenSelect, LoveFilm etc. Other offers are mostly betting sites/casinos - deposit £10minimum is usually the standard. 3) Get a few other people to sign up under your account. 4) Claim your gift. And obviously the number of people you need to sign up and the type of offers that are available vary from one website to another. So if you want an Ipod Nano, you'll need 4 referrals, while for an Xbox or PSP for example, it'll be higher. This is a small gallery of people that have already received their gifts: http://www.exceem.co.uk/gallery/index.php?c=1 . This is much bigger in the US than it is in the UK at the moment, so the scepticism is still quite high towards these sites in the UK. Also, regarding them sending you spam, I don't think any of the sites do sell on your addresses, a case was recently brought up where the biggest network in the US and UK (Freepay/Gratis) had allegedly sold on their emails, which has caused a huge fuss, with lawsuits being filed and denials coming out from Freepay. Your address may be held on by the betting site/casino/film rental company, but they should have the usual options to allow you to opt out during registration. I haven't had any of these problems to be honest. Please feel free to ask me any more questions, and if you do want to sign up, please have the heart to go through the links in my signature
  9. Blowing off the lass to watch MOtD tonight like
  10. Sounds like a nice goal too!
  11. Need a song about Chops now! Fucking get in!
  12. A miracle with a fair few roubles involved though.
  13. Yep, today's Roeder getting the job rumour reminded me of the way Souness managed to hang on to the job - those runs against shit clubs that every halfwit would cite as example of him being an excellent manager.
  14. How many off-sides for Dyer now? Stop fucking lumping it over the top man!
  15. Take Faye off for Chopra, put Dyer back in the middle of midfield to close them down in the middle of the park. Dyer's pace isn't being exploited here.
  16. Luque to get at them with his super pace when they get tired.
  17. Seems like they're all over us. Roeder OUT! obligatory
  18. someone posted a radio link in another thread, the one abouts the passwords.. Video stream is crap at the moment, think i'll wait for the delayed feed at four.
  19. The Doors - The Doors. One of the greatest albums of all time.
