Asked and answered. Multiple times in fact. One more time: It’s a turn of phrase.

Is it? It’s certainly not a common one. Googling the phrase yields nothing, but that might just be reflecting my lack of googling skills. Perhaps you could point some uses of that ‘turn of phrase’ prior to your using it in this thread?

(not going to win any prizes) 813 hits.

(not going to win the contest) 57 hits. Note that some (but not all) actually do refer to actual contests though...

Something along those lines is what I had in mind. I’ll happily admit I didn’t type exactly either of those phrases and apologise for any confusion engendered, but honestly, I know what I meant...

Thanks for that. I was including the term ‘entry’ in my search IIRC.

   I meant that your model is weakly executed, and not very funny,

If that’s what you meant, then that’s what you should have said.

Thanks for the feedback though. Perhaps you could provide some constructive criticism of it’s execution? Just describing it as weak doesn’t help much.


   and nothing more than that, and I have no idea what actual contest it is you’re not entering according to Ross.

Now then, do YOU know what this mysterious contest is that Ross says I meant to refer to but that he won’t identify? Or why?

Or am I going to have to google for that too?

I guess so. As I posted earlier, my MOC was not intended to be an entry into any contest or competition.

Do you expect me to keep up to date with all the competitions and contests that I don’t enter into?

Regards
