Thanks For The Votes - Successful Entry for UltRAFast

[DX Wombat]

Ladies and gentlemen may I just point you in the direction of this thread (http://pprune.org/jet-blast/442973-looking-bit-help.html)in Jet Blast? If the team wins the RAF charity will benefit. :ok:

I shall update their progress here whenever I can. Currently need SIX votes to ease into third place so come on, stop slacking! GET VOTING!

20:40 Excellent! Now they are in third place and need only 133 votes to gain second place.

21:02 Just 131 votes needed to get them into second place, so COME ON! Let's see if it can be done by midnight. :)

22:02 A poster on the JB thread has discovered that the Drambuie site will also accept foreign postcodes.
Current number of votes 504 only just ahead of a team of solicitors. You aren't going to let the lads be beaten by them are you? :eek:

18:35 Those solicitors have got past them. The lads are back in fourth place. :{

19/02 21:02 hrs; Still in 4th place but now 100 votes ahead of the 5th place team. Still not really good enough - they need to be as high as possible in the top six.
I'm away from home at the moment so t'internet access is very variable. Good to see the lads are in first place with 934 votes. Let's see if they can make it to 1,000 :)
28/2 23:30 Only six more votes needed to reach 1,000 votes cast so far. :ok:
1/3 13:16 Only TWO votes needed to make 1,000 votes cast.
15:08 1003! :D :D :D Keep up the good work.
19:16 1023
8/3 00:14 1121 :D
9/3 22:23 1151 but we still need to make sure they stay in the top position.
12/3 Now up to 1191 votes and a request for more votes posted on Flyer. Does anyone know if it has been posted on AARSE?
14/3 1242 votes - there is just a short time left in which to vote.
Well, they have done it. With 1271 votes and in first place they have made the selection. :D :D :D Now all the mad lads have to do is win. ;)

[engineer(retard)]

Done. They are narrowly in 7th place with only 6 allowed to enter and compete for the donation to a charity of their choice - RAFBF.

[Jumping_Jack]

Done.....come on folks get voting!:D

[NutLoose]

[rvusa]

Can anyone say where the former leaders ( The Montagu and Nick (940 up 40)) have disappeared to?
:confused:

[Wholigan]

Without suggesting that it may be talking about that team, this is on the web site:


* Notice: The Drambuie Liqueur Company has concluded that serious voting irregularities have been identified and as a result of this, a team has been removed from the competition. We remind all remaining entrants that we are closely monitoring voting patterns and identities.

[plasticAF]

Me too - only the once though

[moggiee]

Done, too.

[DX Wombat]

Hi Moggie :) how are you?

[DX Wombat]

From the Drambuie site:Voting has now closed for the Pursuit team candidates. We are in the process of completing a final validation of the voting and once this is complete the winning entries will be posted and notified by email. Come back soon to see the results.

When the voting closed ultRAFast was in first place with 1269 votes. :D :D :D :D :D

[moggiee]

Hi Moggie :) how are you?

Recovering from my near-death experience and open heart surgery.

I've got some WICKED scars!

[DX Wombat]

Strewth! :ooh: :ooh: :ooh:
You have a pm.

[jamier]

Just an update off an email i got:

http://i8.createsend2.com/ei/r/CC/EFF/3F0/013707/2500-to-the-cause.jpg
As like last year we promised a £2,500 donation to charity of choice for the team who received the most votes, this has been won by team UltRAFast who have decided to choose the Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund, a great cause.
Congratulations again.


Well done to the team and an extra bit of cash for a worthy cause! :ok::D

[NutLoose]

Had the same email, there were several Service squads involved that sadly did not get through, but the monies will go to a good cause, so a win win situation for all of the armed forces.............

One hopes the guys do well..............

To everyone involved AND those that voted :D:D:D:D

[DX Wombat]

Great news in fact, ultRAFast has won £2,500 for the RAFBF! Sometimes I can be a bit dense - this was one of them. I thought the money was the prize for winning the race. :O

[DX Wombat]

Does anyone know how the lads got on? I have tried to discover the results but the Drambuie site doesn't show them - or, to be more precise, I can't find them. :(
