During the World Cup Tesco are giving everyone who spends more than a tenner a gamecard.

It has two panels; one marked "Love Football?" the other "Hate Football?", you open up one or the other to see if you've won a prize.

Now I've had about 4 of these things, other members of my family have had some as well, yet not a single one has had a prize under the "Love Football?" panel yet there's always something under the "Hate Football?" one.

Now the common prize I've found under the hate tab has been a cheaper entry fee to a Madame Tussaud's theme park, I have also had a free DVD rental trial (which I can still use anyway as it's a hyperlink) and today I got a fiver off a mobile phone handset.

Now, after all that, the question : has anyone had anything under the "Love Football?" panel?

I've never opened a Love Football panel. I always seem to get 50pee off Capri Sun. Anyone like Capri Sun?

I've had 50p off Lynx Body spray, 60p of a box of KitKats and a free music download form the Hate Football side. and I had one other card that was a looser on both sides.

Top Tip: Hold the card upto the light and you can see which has a barcode.

Damn it! I wasn't given a card! Do you need to spend over a tenner or have a club card?
On the plus side, I was served by possibly the most attractive checkout girl I've ever seen. Needless to say I checked HER out. Ho ho hahahaha ha ha ha he ha ha.. ahem.

You've got to spend more than a tenner, man.

Bugger. Maybe I should go back, and not say one.solitary.word to the attractive checkout girl. Then she'll want me.

Trouble with attractive tesco's workers, is that you just know that they're thick as shit, puts a major downer on their attractiveness.

Probably major stereotyping there, but the last two times I've been to Tesco's, I've had female checkworkers saying "I've never seen one of them before, is it a vegetable?" while weighing an Artichoke, and practically asking me out to see the Da Vinci Code because I bought some Haagendasz (major weirdo, don't ask).

But back to the OP, yeah, hold them up to a light, you can make out "UNLUCKY" on one side of the card. I won 20p off Irnbru, hazzah!!
