Competition time - Tell us your worst date !

Hi Everyone, in the spirit of Valentine's Day approaching, we've decided to launch a competition for all of our facebook friends !

At first we thought, because an especially romantic day is only two weeks away, you should tell us your most romantic date story, and then we thought... where's the fun in that ? So what we would like you to do, is tell us about your worst OR funniest dating experience !!

We would also like to remind that you that this is a family page, and would appreciate it if you would not share any explicit content. Any entries that we find inappropriate will be removed.

The prize will be Bed & Breakfast at the Popinjay Hotel, with £40 to spend in the hotel, and full access to the Spa !!  The winner will be selected by the Glasgow's Great Deal team from all the entries received by Midnight on the Monday 13th February and the winner will be announce on the Facebook page on Tuesday 14th February.  The judges decision will be final.

Popinjay Hotel
Situated in the cusp of the beautiful and historic Clyde valley, the Popinjay Hotel and Spa is a bright new world in excellence and experience.

With contemporary design housed within this historic Tudor-style coaching inn, the luxury and finesse of the Popinjay is clearly apparent from the very moment you are welcomed into the beautifully designed reception room.

The grand piano waits silently, but ripe with musical promise. Lit serenely by the radiance of the modern open fire and glow of the intimate lighting, you know and feel, even as you step into the building for the first time, that the Popinjay Hotel and Spa is something very, very special.

This expectation of excellence recurs throughout the entirety of the Hotel, with the quality of the dining area, the beauty of the gardens, and the sumptuous appointment of the rooms.

Worst Date Competition Winners

Congratulations to those of you who posted the 25 entries received by noon yesterday and, a massive thank you to everyone for their subsequent "Likes" and comments, we are delighted to announce that Teri Cole is the Winner.  Judging by the number of "Likes" and, the comments currently being posted on Facebook, she is without doubt the worthy winner. Here is Teri's worst date:

"Before I got married I went on a date wiv a bloke from a club. I couldn't remember what he lookd like, so 2my astonishment a 4foot, fat, bald, ageing bloke rung the bell. Best of it was, he had the cheek 2turn up wi an old rusty, lime-green micra! ;o So, decided 2go as was at a loose-end. We went 2a bar in merchant city, an I was hopin 2hav a few and make this guy look remotely winchable, wen 2my further astinshment...my dad and his boyf walks in!! In normal circumstances, this wld not b a problem, but the fact that the guy I ws wiv looked like Danny DeVito on steroids, did not go dwn 2well!! Several pitchers of cocktails later,we crawled out the bar 4a taxi, wen Mr. DeVito himself got in2 an altercation wi party goer ova a Greggs sausage roll!!! I decided it ws time 2split an sped off in the 1st taxi possible whilst screaming "drive, drive, drive!!!" Lol"

Teri wins a a romantic overnight stay for 2 people at the Blythswood Hotel in Glasgow with dinner for 2 and use of the luxurious Spa facilities as outlined in the original deal blog post.

We hope that Teri's romantic break turns out better than the date she told us about and, that she will let us know how she enjoys her prize.

RUNNER-UP
Claire Thomson Little did extremely well and was only just pipped for 1st prize so, we thought we would award her one of today's great deals - Full head highlight treatment with 2 colours. Cut and blow dry and deep conditioning massage as outlined in today's blog post.  Here is Claire's entry:

"I was out on a date with a then boyfriend and had had slightly too much to drink we where sitting across from each other talking when the next minute had the urge to be sick while chewing gum, all over his trousers, i noticed i had dropped my chewing gum so picked it up off his leg n started chewing it again! yuck yuck yuck lol."

We have also decided to award 2 x Papa John's Pizza Deals (as mentioned here) to Gary Young.  Gary's entry was posted after the initial 12 noon deadline yesterday however, he still managed to amass 64 "Likes" in the comparatively short time his post was on the Facebook Page - well done Gary.
