Jim

I was referring to the Ad at the right and the Ad in the footer. Which are pretty harmless/unobtrusive. We don’t want any other Ads. If the income is high enough to get rid of the two Ads we might consider that. But we can always use some extra income for contest prizes as well, so we’ll see when the time comes.

We will be looking into that later this year. However, the two Ads we have now will probably remain.

Thanks for pointing it out.

We don’t talk about LEGO in the pub

The contest is online! Here you go Enjoy

Thanks for the reminder. Got caught up in other stuff. Will try to get it online today. I will be offline for most of the two weeks after that so no hard questions lol

This is annoying. I will check it out... It was an Auto generated experiment bij Google Adsense. I have stopped it.

Done ;-)

LoL

I am not sure about the categories to be honest. I only have a single set as a prize anyway, which makes 3 categories a bit harder.

This!

Lol. Good question. Thanks for the reminder. As usual one week before a holiday always busy. It will be the Monster Truck Madness, so you can start planning. Details will be posted in a couple of days.

I only have one prize for this contest, which makes it very easy Or not easy if we do three categories lol
