    I see in todays Star newspaper that some guy from Donegal won a €1000 voucher for Argos. It was a competition on the Ray Darcy show and apparently the public had to guess (or work out) the value of the goods in the current Argos catalogue. He came to within €150 of the total which must have took him some time to add up.

    Anyway good luck to him. Its nice to see someone from the County winning a national competition. Im sure he will have a smashing time with the voucher.

    Seriously. I made a wild guess and it was very close to the actual figure. I was on the Ray D'Arcy show.

    I just had a call from Argos in Dublin. I will be collecting the voucher from the Letterkenny store on a date to be arranged. They will have a photographer there so I will be in the papers. :D

    w00t.:)

    Congrats!
    Of course, you know they are going to have you standing there with those gigantic cardboard billboard cheques that are always twice the size of the average person. :D

    Lets hope they have a wide angle lens and a substantial amount of free space in the paper to hold the photo :D
