Spelling Shmelling

Joel Comm, internet marketing machine says that to improve content on your site, you need to improve spelling. Well maybe this is where I'm going wrong.

I met Joel (.) Comm at an internet marketing conference in Las Vegas earlier this year. Yes me and my colleague Helen were sent to Las Vegas for 10 days to learn all we could from the Americans. Joel was a very nice man who I insulted in the lunch queue when he asked if we were from London. There is more than one city in the whole of the UK we said, Joel laughed and wandered off to a table far, far away from us.

Anyway, I think Joel's right spelling is important and if I read something that's spelt wrong it drives me mad - people are paid good money to make sure things are spelled correctly right?
So why can't I spell then?
Why do I have to get everything spelled checked by my computer and then by lovely Joy on reception. Even then every so often I get one of our members pointing out that they would like to 'Refer a friend' and not 'Refer a fiend'.

My argument is that I have a degree in English not spelling.

Pizza and undies

Win4now, the home of life saving prizes... imagine you are housebound this spring due to the mountains of crisp, sparkling snow on the street outside.
Fear not though, all you need is Win4now to save you from starvation and dirty underwear. We're giving away a whole season worth of pizza which equals about 2 large sized pizzas every week for three months and there's no need to wash your smalls as you could also win £250 to spend at Agent Provocateur's online boutique. Although if you're a man you might just use them to mop up all those pizza stains...

Amazing undies
Pizza paradise

The Oldies

No I'm not talking about Rob and Kerry, I'm talking about Radio 2.
Regular readers of the blog will know that in our office we listen to Radio 2 and the best bit of the day is when Steve Wright shuts up and plays the oldies in an afternoon. To maybe get some sneaky advertising for Win4now we've decided to submit our own list of oldies for Steve Wright to play. So far on my list I have 'Here I go Again on My Own' from Whitesnake and that's it, Rob is busily writing a list but the sooner we submit it the sooner Win4now could be broadcasted across the whole of the UK.
If you have any suggestions for our selection of Oldies please add them!

Every had a day of doing so much that nothing gets done?
I need to go on some kind of time management course. Last week me and Liam went on an assertiveness course so we could strap on a pair in the work place. I have no evidence to share with you if this has worked or not - I think I'm a bit meaner though. I learned that to be assertive is to negotiate, to be aggressive is to punch someone and to be passive is to be a doormat. I am currently inbetween the doormat and slamming the door in people's faces, so I suppose that's progress.

Trick or Treat!

Well it's Halloween, double trouble toil and trouble and all that. According to a man on the radio Halloween is a menace that leads to vandalism well here at Win4now it leads to eating lots of cakes and sweets and a couple of members dressing up as Halloween horrors.
Thelma baked a beautiful spider cake which was mighty tasty and Ruth and Kieran have dressed up... please add your comments and Happy Halloween!

I have a doughnut sat on my desk and in a moment I'm going to make Team One a cup of tea, the Oldies are on Radio 2 and it's a Friday!
Kerry and Adele are discussing underwear, Kerry bought a stick on bra to go to America in but they didn't work because it was too humid - that's the tip of the day today! Rob doesn't understand the conversation and it's gone down to a whole new level of crudeness that can't be repeated.
Me and Adele keep getting told off for singing to the radio - it's only because Rob and Kerry are older than us. Three and a half hours to go!
Be sure to check win4now next weeks as we've got some fab competitions coming on including thermal clothing (not underwear or stick on bras), the famous Christmas turkey and a trip to New Zealand. I'll post the links when they go live.
Adele has just had a spam email from a Russian woman wanting to marry her - nice.

Steve Wright's big quiz on Radio 2 has just been on, it's the best thing on the radio all day. Me, Ads and Rob turn the radio up and see who can answer the questions quickest. Everyday someone comes in and talks all the way through it about something they think is more 'important'. Who cares about targets and competitions and site content when you know the answer to 'How much degrees is one angle on an equilateral triangle?' I couldn't get me words out as there was someone yapping in my ear.

Ah well, the good news is that I've just had a hazelnut hot chocolate and it's raining outside which means I have an excuse not to go running tonight so I can go home and sit down some more.

Also, we've had a new competition go live today - a trip to a health spa to be preened and pampered. If you win, take me!
