The Googly

Got an opinion? The Googly want to hear it

We here at the Googly Dungeon consider you readers to be part of the family.  Like all families we are keen to hear what you honestly think and to prove it we are conducting a survey, rather than the usual family method of getting you drunk at a wedding. 

Like a current Kevin Pietersen innings, the survey will only take a maximum of three minutes. But if you need something to tempt you further, one lucky respondee will grip a brand new 16GB iPod Touch in their mitts tighter than Colly in the covers.  This is thanks to our lovely friends at Play.com, the site where the great prices for your Christmas presents include postage, unlike some other sites we could mention..

New Shiny site Kickster launches with a lovely competition

This from the editors:

To celebrate Kickster's (www.kickster.tv) launch, we've teamed up with Footiechick, creator of footie-related fashions and technical gear for, er, chicks, to offer readers the chance to win one of five England T-shirts ahead of China 2007. All you need to do to try and get your grubby mitts on one is e-mail us at shinywomen@googlemail.com with your name, address, and size. How difficult can that be?

Closing date is the end of the 10th September, so entrants can have their T-shirt with you in time to support the England girls out in China. And chaps - you're bound to know a lady who'd appreciate this, so earn yourself some brownie points.
