TWO Magazine

Just had a phone call, the lady says " it's two wheels only magazine here"
my face lit up as I remembered I entered a competition for a VFR800 some
months back, but then she goes on to say "would you like to subscribe blah
blah blah..."

From the heights of elation to the depths of despair in two seconds, that's
why they call it TWO magazine, coz that how many seconds they take to piss
you off.

Still competition is not drawn till the 10 August... still hope yet.

.... I suspect your chances of winning, without taking up the "special
once-only offer" of a subscription, which you have recently refused,
are .... well ... nil.

But for the sake of 30 snotters and some junk-mail you could have had
a shiny new VFR to add to your ever growing list of steeds.

HTH.

 

I think that would be quite illegal.

 

Heh, there was a nice little ditty in Bike mag this/last month about them
phoning a competition entrant with congratulations on winning a shiny new
bike. He hung up on them three times, so they phoned someone else to award
them the prize.

I can sort of understand the first guy hanging up once, but how many
telephone marketers would ring back twice more?

 

Two words, "Marketing" & "Honesty". ...

 

oh bugger, I was sort of relying on winning

I've had the same! In fact they have called me 3 times, as the first time they
couldn't hear me on my mobile, then the second time they hang up! By the third
call, just a few hours ago, I was getting really excited, thinking "my god! my
god!! will have to make space in the garage over the weekend"
Then as said in this thread before...Despair! Still, give the girl her due,
ringing me 3 times then being told "no thanks" she must be keen. Guess my entry
is in the bin now too. :-(

I was sure you'd worked in a marketing department - but a post like this
makes me wonder..

 

[1] I'm a creative worker bee. Ie, I do what I'm to told, I realise a
"creative's" vision.
[2] By elevating the "creatives" above the law you're simply embuing them
with some kind of godlike power. They're subject to laws to as great a
degree as us common mortals, in fact more so. It's not funny or ironic it's
just pointless.
