Competition is no. Not at all. I don't think I ever wan competition.
Bad luck. That means you are not a compo that's a formal name for someone who take part in anti competitions or semi-professional basis. That spends a lot time trying to win some.
You mean winning prices or free gifts.

I like winners. We'll find out if you are right or wrong later on. So let's talk more about compors, people who reckly take part in competition. We could say that hooks on meaning addicted to taking part.
Yes. the lure or attractiveness of winning prices means these people just can't stop on answering quiz questions. Writing slogans and captions that is solving puzzles.
Some people go to great land so put a lot of effort into winning something. Even if just a boxes of chocolates or coffee mags. It's just the excitement of winning.
But sometimes there are big prices to win and you could a speed boat of holiday of lifetime. The only problem is these prices are either not easy to win or there are millions of people try to win them.
I certainly never win anything as fantastic as that. But one man who has plenty of luck is XXXX who is retired litterateur and a expert of compor.
He certainly is. He has wan a yacht, a XXXX and lot of small prices too. Let's hear from him now. Listen out for the name is says people have called him.
I win compor for 40 years. I like it so I addicted in it really. Some people call me the master of campaign, the king of campaign, the lord of campaign. It's just the word, just phrase. It's just highly profile.
So he says he was fairly high profile like me he is off the scene in public. Mention in newspapers or appear on television. And because he is high profile, he got called nicknames.
Names like the master of companing.
So someone who is very good or skill that it. And the king of companing, that's the actual royal king but someone who is the best doing something. And the guru of companing. That's someone who other people respect and go to for advice about companing.
Well, he knows it stuff and he still check out competitions on serial boxes, quiz packet for the next big win. He has even write a book on the subjects and offer the advice of other compors.
But campaigning has changed Rob, there are lot of competitions to win on the internet now. Every web page you look out seems attempt us with fantastic price be wan.
