My Dad sends me the best emails, the most recent one is a competition he thinks I might like to enter...

“The SFX Weekender is back! 2,500 sci-fi fans, four main events, exclusive screenings, tons of prizes, loads of live guests...one amazing weekend at Pontin's Holiday Park Camber Sands, 4th-5th February 2011.

We've got 100 sets of SFX Weekender passes to give away. To win your tickets, simply answer this question: How many sci fi fans are going to be attending the SFX Weekender 2011? A: 100 B: 250 C: 2500”

Can you imagine how amazingly awful a weekend that would be?

Also, the prize is for 100 pairs of tickets so you’re probably guaranteed a win if you enter it. They’re giving away nearly 10% of the whole ticket allowance as competition prizes. Not really a good sign is it?
