**Competition Closed. Congratulations to Niall**
Ho ho ho….Merry Christmas!
That’s right folks…it’s nearly time (as if you didn’t know). We hope you’re getting through the shopping, enjoying the socialising and planning a relaxing and happy December 25th. But wait, you say, there’s more!
The folk at the Carphone Warehouse invited us along to the launch of their new Carphone Warehouse Connected World in Dundrum Town Centre a few weeks back. It’s full of tablets (the techie kind), ‘droid phones what nerds love and loads of other cool gadgets, in fact it’s a rather snazzy place altogether. We recommend dropping in to check the place out, the amount of tech on display gave us a serious case of the wantsies. They even have Ireland’s first Geek Squad: 3 guys who’ll provide tech support from simple stuff to setting up your phone for you if you’re not that way inclined to the big stuff like data recovery and hardware installation and you don’t even need to take our word for it…we’ve got a little piece of Carphone Warehouse goodness to give away as a Christmas present from them and us.
It’s the Samsung Mini Hello Kitty and it’s just about the dinkiest little thing we’ve had in Culch Towers all year. It does the phonecall stuff and the texting stuff and even the internetting stuff (so you’ll even be able to visit Culch.ie on the go, exciting, wha’?) and it could be yours.
All we want you to do is tell us who would be the first person you’d call/text/tweet and why if you got to unwrap this wee phone on Christmas morning.
Simple as that!
We’ll pick a winner tomorrow to make sure we get it wrapped up and in the post in time for Culchmas Day (so we rebranded Christmas….that’s not too far, right?)
Merry Christmas and get entering!
Hi
It would be easier to say who I wouldn’t text. I would then email cluchie.ie and carphpone warehouse to say thanks a mil.You are the best. Merry Xmas To ALL. Next year will be a brill Year.
I’d text my niece who is a mad hello kitty fan to tell her that i have joined the ‘club’. She will think I am supercool.
My cousins and aunty,their spending christmas in America as their dad passed away and christmas at home would be too hard,but Id text them first so they know were all thinking of them.
Probably my brother to tell him I have finally gone gay.
I would wrap it up and put it under the tree, then phone it on Christmas morning and watch my daughters delight as she opens the package and sees that it is a cool ‘Hello kitty’ phone.
I’d ring Biffo and tell him that unless he sorts out this horrible mess he got us into I wont be in Ireland for next christmas
@Darren 2 - Good One
I’d ring the surgeon to see what he did with my balls post op.
I’d call back in time to phone Julia Roberts during the filming of Michael Collins.
“Hello…Kitty?”
I’d ring up my girlfriend, she’s ever so nice;
Worth more than a text, at least double the price!
I’d tell her the good news, a new phone on it’s way;
She’d tell me I’m crazy, “how much did you pay?”
“Two hundred euro” I’d claim with a laugh;
“Well come over tonight, I’ve got a free gaff!”
Hello Kitty is a favourite, it would add to her style;
With a body to die for and a beautiful smile.
Carphone Warehouse you can trust me to do what is right;
You’d be a Godsend this Christmas when money is tight.
Merry Christmas!
Tell my sister she’s getting a new fone for christmas
I can’t tweet so i’d probably call,
The lucky receiver would definitely be Laura..(if only i had a friend called Paul!!)
She bought me a Hello Kitty quilt many years ago,
Since then my collection has grown and grown.
Some people say im obsessed… i say only mildly!!
I tell them Kitty is a friend, so please speak kindly.
I can’t wait to call Laura and tell her the news, (hopefully)
She may even think i’ve lost a few screws!
I’ll laugh and tell her she got me hooked,
Now look whats happened im completely….f
finished my poem
I’d definitely call my girlfriend and say
“Hey, you’ve got a new phone. You can get rid of that other piece of crap you have and now we’ll be able to hear each other when you call me every night!”
She’d tell me to feck off and that her phone was grand, she’s stubborn like that. But when she see’s the Hello Kitty phone she’d definitely chamge her mind.
Finally a win for Vinnie.
oh, it will be a real joy!
I will call my dear little sister first, (through my mums phone…), she lost her phone and has been rubbish at time keeping and keeping in touch ( totally not her fault, she/we cant afford a new one just yet
)
most girls love hello kitty so that will be a big plus.. Love it
She will be sooooo grateful and excited..
ll I want for christmas is you!!
bisous xo

(NB- I’ll tweet Sinead next…. ? duhhh she loves attention.. and that will be here christmas present from mee..hehee… )
Well, this is not a joke honestly… i have just come back from the bathroom and my phone fell into the loo, it is completely banjaxed….i swear to god, i am not lying. I am phoneless, It happened before and apparently there is no solution except a new phone, this competition has just arrived at the perfect moment but now all i need is a bit of luck!!
The first person i’d tweet if i opened this phone on xmas day would be my bank manager - any chance of a (bigger) loan for 2011?? It’s gonna be a rough year financially
Would love to win, fingers crossed…
You guys rock xxx
“Howya Kate? Its me the guy from the bar”
Even though I will be right beside her, I would call my wife because she always calls me “a bold pup” and then she would be my “Hello Kitty” and we would prove to the world that cats and dogs can live together in harmony!
I will be in Canada for Christmas so I would text my friends in Ireland to make sure my new phone works overseas! And I would obviously, call, text, and tweet the good people at culch.ie for making my Christmas even cheerier! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
I would text Virginia and let her know there really is a Santa Claus and that he brought me a Hello Kitty phone! While this does not make up for the train set that I asked for and didn’t get when I was eight, it does help mend some fences! Merry Culchmas!
It would have to be Santa of course! To thank him for my latest pressie as well as all the hard years of slog to bring me all the nice and shiny things I got as a youngster
I’d ring my cat. She goes mental when the phone goes off in vibrate mode. And you have to admit, there is something mousy about the way it buzzes across the table.
The first person I would text is Julian Assange of Wikileaks to tell him to keep up the good work and keep the chin up!
