Fellow winners

Did you get your egg cups ?

I won the Egg Cup knock out comp and Thelip sent a PM asking for address etc. I sent my details and then nothing. After a while I sent a PM and he replied saying he was sorry that he had got caught up with other stuff and he would send it and then nothing.

I sent 2 PMs about 4 weeks ago but nothing.

Is there something I am missing ? Did others get their prize ? I am confused because it doesn't seem in character.

No, I'm still waiting for my egg cup and cash prize too

Think Happyhoppy is also waiting. Your right, not in character, but I havent had a reply to my PM either.

Come on lip, give us an answer man...

He was also prompt in previous years

He was, wasn't he:

...too bloody right

I had a feeling he is on some residential training course for 6 weeks which may explain it.

6 months or 6 weeks

I was wondering if his course was overlapping with the period when andy has had no response. Of course, I should just pull my finger out my arse and drop him a line. This texting lark is awfully time-consuming

Well it was obviously a 6 month course.

Any ideas thelip when you will be sending out the cups or were you hoping to send me this years in the same parcel as well (which sadly won't be the case)?

I ask on this thread as others are equally affected and I assume they have not had theirs either.

MESSAGE TO THE LIP...

I cannot believe you have STILL failed to honour your commitments from LAST season yet. This is disgraceful now lip. 2 months ago you stated "I should love to" sort this out and you have both my bank details and my postal address.

Please confirm that this will be sorted out finally within 7 days. I dont know what else to say, i really dont. I would be thoroughly embarrassed if I were you.

Please confirm this has been actioned, either by PM or on here.

This really is a disgrace, If I hadn't already removed myself from this sham I would do so.
Surly this can't be sitting well with the rest of the eggcuppers - or are you as feeble as the Lip?

Extra question to Jezster from a neutral...


Do you care to nominate which charity you would like to donate thelip's personal money to on here?

For the record I Pmed thelip to donate my winnings to the Ovarian cancer charity as a relative of mine died of this plus my wife also had a major operation having 2 very large cysts and fallopian tube removed last year.

In the absence of an egg cup it is only natural that I have to question in my own mind whether this donation has been done whilst recognising of course that it is his own money. If money is the issue I would much rather this was said and I would be more than happy to forget about it all, if it isn't the money that is the issue then this suggests to me a more personal issue, after all what else could it be after nearly a year going by (you can't blame a 6 week course for the delays now) and countless people pming and putting reminders on threads ?

This competition has always been well run and all the previous years winners always seemed to receive their cups promptly (as they were always quick to post photos onto the site) but having met thelip and played golf twice over a weekend in Edinburgh I am very surprised and disappointed by the way it's turned out.

Firstly I find it a bit rich to be pulled up on a question of integrity by someone who clearly is deficient in that particular quality. I'm sure many of you remember the thread A Question Of Integrity where The Jezster/The Good Shepherd declared his absolute innocence in the whole VIP forum debacle whilst simultaneously trying to subvert FISO. Care to elaborate on that one Jez? Thought not.

Secondly, I can only apologise about the lack of eggcups. As I have stated elsewhere these really are "bespoke" eggcups as they are made to order. Unfortunately the woman who did them for me left the place where they are made and no-one else knows how to do it. I hope to have some better news on that front shortly however.

Thanks for that information (would have saved a lot of ill feeling had that been communicated a little earlier in the season). Perhaps you would be kind enough to confirm that the donation has been made so that I can inform my family accordingly.

Yours is the only one which has.

Thanks. On with the business of finishing this season not too embarrassingly then.

OK so the lack of eggcups has been explained, dunno why it took so long to clear that one up. But can it be confirmed that everyone has been awarded the other prizes that were on offer, I'm confused and I would not want to be accused of getting the wrong end of the stick.

Basically, has everyone who won a cash prize been payed up and have the charity donations been made?

No, because I hoped to do both things simultaneously but that wasn't possible.

I was under the impression that the 'cash prizes' are actually 'charity donations' with the winners letting thelip know where to send the donation. The Egg Cups are merely a token gesture to the Winners - albeit a much sought after prize.

If people are playing the game with the expectation of keeping a charity donation as a cash prize then I would have to seriously question their morals.


After all the clue is in the name of the Competition - 'The Edinburgh Egg Cup Charity Challenge'

Don't judge everyone by your standards Adrian.

That was my take on it too, but competitors are given a choice.

I find it totally bemusing that a cash/donation prize is on offer at all, but I suppose it drums up interest and provides a competitive edge.

I find it also bemusing... although not totally bemusing that you brand thelip as being feeble... and it seems eveyone else still playing this side game.

Explain please...

Guys - I started this thread and would love to be the one to end it.


The question I asked was had the other cups be distributed. I was trying to find out if I had been omitted or excluded.

It took longer than I hoped and Thelip has stated that the answer had been posted elsewhere but I have my questions answered.

I see no need to carry on the thread. There were a few posts which were driven by the fact that the posters were not getting an answer to a question and to my knowledge that has now been resolved.

I would encourage you to contact Thelip directly via PM with any other questions or observations.

Ok I'll give you my explanation, I called him feeble because from what I understand he had failed to honour commitments from last season, I also feel his attitude and responses to queries is shabby in the least. Also the sham with people getting kicked out of the comp adds to my reasoning.

In terms of everyone else playing the sidegame thats up to them, but double standards that are being peddled on here stink, somehow I don't feel that other people on here would be get away with such lameness.

I'm also loving that Lip's minders love me, good job I'm not paranoid otherwise I be thinking there is some dastardly plot

Are you including me in that statement

No

Well that's ok then......

phew

Who are lip's minders ?

If you mean me,
