Here is This Year's Deal
Put in a love note about OzBargain for your chance to win a prize.

- 5x OzBargain T-shirts
Rules
- Top messages will be judged by moderators.
- Messages need to be published in the newspaper.
- OzBargain must be mentioned.
- If 5 messages about OzBargain aren't published, then we will defer to the comments in the thread.
- Make sure you post your comment in the deal so we can verify who made the message.

way to go with highlighting it for the bosses, muncan!
Haha!
(If I won something, its going to 123 Fake Ct, Adelaide Airport)
I won a double movie pass as well. This competition has worked out very nicely indeed. :-)
I'm not going to bother publishing it in a newspaper, but here it is anyway…
jv, be my Valentine for I adore you so
Your humour each day makes my love for you grow
You're young and you're strong, I'm old and I'm weak
But negging your comments makes my life complete.Happy Valentines Day (cough cough)
Mine is a real love message to my Husband, P$. It took some fancy editing to get it to fit in the 4 lines, but I think he will enjoy it.

I am as cheap and easy as a 30c cheeseburger at Coogee.
Be mine.I just received an email from herald-sun advising me that one of my Valentines Day love messages had been cancelled (no reason given). I'm not sure which one (I may have done a "few"), but think it might have been the one that made light of Vodafone's previous poor coverage and resulting dropouts.
Log in and manage your ads - the missing one should be the one which is missing…

pretty good bet that thats the one..
Confirmed in the Adelaide Crowvertiser

OZBARGAIN
How much do I love you? 3 free
lines apparently. - moooooooohttp://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/17399/20996/ozb_valenti…
I'm puzzled to see >20 of my notices were placed but not this one, and it was placed in the middle of the ad creation frenzy. Perhaps including my username was too much Insanity Wolf for them?

I always have you on my mind throughout the day and night.P.S. How do you upload images from OzBargain? I used imgur instead
Who's getting on the paper today? :)
THE CROWVERTISER ADELAIDE:
Mine seems to be the only one, but BRODEN didn't even get a toot
http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/92970/21064/screenshot_…Anything under 'News Limited' or 'Schmoopie'?
Thanks neil - very helpful! Do you have the same access to The Advertiser in SA?
As I posted above, I has the only one under Ozbargain in the advertiser
Yes, but I'd posted a couple to a friend of mine so they were not OzB related but I still wanted to see them. :-)
LOL @ the dedication to "That Person"!
I assume from other messages this morning that WC is an OzBargainer, so thanks for the laugh, WC.
I didnt see any Ozbargain ones in the Courier Mail, did they get taken out or did I miss them?
After much debate between the moderators… Actually no, we pretty much all agree on the overall winner. The most kinky limerick poet of OzBargain in 2014 goes…
moooooooo!
Here is his winning entry. I'll contact you later tonight regarding claiming of prize.
Since there are only 5 others that have been published (muncan, silverrat23, shmahoo, redpump and food), I decided we should just send them an OzBargain T-shirt each.
Wow! Rather unexpected but very happy! I was mainly just excited to make News Ltd use ink so this worked out well. :-D My thanks to silverrat23 who posted the deal in the first place!
Just curious, have you cleared this with news limited? They may not like having valentines messages board used as advertising.
