Dave Turns Five Giveaway 4 - The Final

This giveaway is now closed.
The winner was xMisoSoupx

**************************************
This is it, the one you have all been waiting for, the last and ultimate prize of the Dave Turns Five Giveaway series.

The prize is MONEY! Cold hard cash. Well, not quite, how about cold hard pencil-money? The prize is a shopping spree at Cult Pens to the value of £150 excl VAT sales tax but including free delivery worldwide. Hurrah for Cult Pens!

Now for those of you who don’t think in British Pounds, then that’s roughly about 175 of the Unions Euros or 240 of Uncle Sams Dollars, or 19,500 Japanese Yen. There aren’t even any restrictions on the shopping spree. You could turn around and buy a bunch of fountain pens with the prize and I’ll just grit my teeth, smile nicely and wish you hours of enjoyable inking.

To enter this giveaway you simply leave a comment here on this posting. Any comment will do. BUT, you must have fulfilled the “registration requirements” back in August last year (see the fine print below)

This giveaway will remain open for 5 days, after which the winner will be chosen at random, and announced here on this post, so check back in to claim your prize. If you don’t claim your prize within a couple of days then a runner-up will be chosen to replace you.

The fine print
This giveaway is open to all registered readers as of August 2010. It is not open to unregistered readers.

Not sure if you are registered? Well back in June 2010 I published this article to get you to register. You are registered if you met any of the listed criteria by the end of August 2010. So, for example, if you were a public Follower or had commented on this blog before end August 2010 then you are registered. Here’s the criteria published back then:

•If you are, or become, a public Follower of this blog (using Google Friend Connect, see the sidebar gadget) then you are registered.
•If you have a sign in that identifies you when you leave comments on this blog, and you have previously left a comment on this blog, then you are already registered! You don't have to do anything. If you want to double check, then use the Lijit search box in the sidebar. Just search on your comment display name and check it brings you up. If it does, you are registered. (Example, search on ‘adair’ to bring up their comments) Only one trap - if your first comment ever was in the last few weeks then it may not yet have been indexed by Google/Lijit search, but give it a little time and it will be.
•If you have a sign in but have never left a comment, then leave one here on this post now and you are registered.
•If you do not have a sign in then you could get one by creating one here at OpenID. These ID’s are effectively anonymous. You can create them without any real world ID so you don’t have to get worried about privacy. Anyone who uses Yahoo, AOL, Blogger, Wordpress, MySpace, Live Journal to name a few already has an OpenID. Then leave a comment here on this post using your nice new OpenID and you are registered.
•If you do not have a sign in and do not want to get one, then you can email me at the address in my Profile (see About Me in the sidebar) and register. In your email you can just say something like “I’ll be the Anonymous commenter who calls themselves JD-84”.
•If you are one of that small number of people who have computer trouble commenting on this blog then you can also email me and register. We can work on resolving the problem you have, but if we can’t fix it, then when the giveaways are on, I will enter you into the draw myself.

Remember - that was how to register back in August 2010. You cannot register now. If you didn't meet the criteria back then, sorry but it's too late now.

Only 1 comment per person. Extra comments will be deleted. If you want to ask any questions, start some discussion, etc then please use the Guestbook, or email me direct. If you somehow botch your comment and need to delete it, then whilst signed in you should be able to click the trashcan beside it and then start again from scratch. If you can’t then email me and I should be able to do it for you.

Having trouble commenting? Make sure your browser security settings, especially with Firefox, are set to allow third-party cookies. Still got trouble? Email me and we'll work on Plan B.

For this giveaway Cult Pens are donating the free worldwide delivery and 100 of the £150, the other £50 is from my pocket, I'm sharin' the love.
