I love that Milko saw the creation had happened and didn't even reply to use it or say thank you.  Ungrateful swine!

The noise it makes is fantastic. I bought it "for my niece" but it stays at our place. Actually, I need some more of the goop, it's gone too sticky and no longer passes through the mutt's digestive system. It's quite odd, a bit like playdoh but not quite. Anyway it's a fantastic game of skill, that's for sure.

what, I totally said Eeee to him that was to convey my joy and excitement. I should've thanked Matt too for adding it to the forum emoticons but I guess he's used to being taken for granted (sorry and thanks Sulkpot and Matt).

Right - first post updated with RULES and my POINTS(ish) and everyone else's choices.

Also my new choice, Frontier Developments, just to annoy Fozza.

Just checking the first post, can't believe no one has gone for blockbuster or whsmith yet, so I'll have them! Add on, err, carphone warehouse? One of the phone shops has to go, and phones4u have a decent brand presence on tv etc, so likely car phone will be the one to go.

Didn't blockbuster go last year?

A quick look on wiki shows that it nearly went under but was bought out in 2011 and is still going.

Aww, really? My local one turned into a Saisnbury's Local shortly after it was in the news, can't think of any Blockbusters in Edinburgh now.

Right, updated.

Also by my understanding of these ill-thought out rules, I get 1 point for HMV going into administration but still trading. If they then cease trading all together do I get another 2 points? Who knows!

Also, what if they come out of administration? Do I still keep them (plus the replacement I decided I was allowed) on my list? Would I then have 4 companies to play with (YJ)?

Whoever thought this one through did about as good a job as the person who appointed Kenny to do the forum awards.

I think Kenny appointed Kenny to do the forum awards, therefore your point is valid.

Look what they are saying about you! No appreciation for the many years of pondering and careful consideration you have given this project. Ungrateful sods!
