2. 😀 😀 😀
3. oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh interesting. im too stupid for these competitions lol
4. Braille, Phillis. Or are we hunting for missing letters now? Heehee.
5. I dont really understand wha tthe competition is, yeah i cant see the dots when u UV lights up but what about them :S I think you should let me win 🙂 x
6. I am guessing that Derren is keen on palindromes
7. @nelson – Me too!!
8. desperately want a poster!!! Anyone fancy getting me an early Xmas pressie?! lol 😀

   x
9. I have Aibohphobia
10. Aaah I’m so excited, a competition I might actually be in with a chance of winning, if only I’d have got in there sooner though : (
11. oooh
    interesting…

    actually
    DAMN
    i bought one of these posters before they were for sale here :S
    i spent aaaages tracking one down, but now i wish i’d waited a little 🙁

    oh bumerr. no special UVness for me :'( *sobs*
    Cheer me up, Mr Brown?
12. I live in New Zealand… if I order now do I have a chance to be in the competition?

    Msg from Abeo: Anyone ordering after today can still take part in the competition, you just have to wait for the poster to arrive
13. So are all the UV codes the same or do I have to go and take my poster to the nearest public toilet with a black-light fitted ?!
14. ‘after quite a few weeks’ … Somepeople have been honoured by royal mail by having their posters being delivered.
15. Aahhh so that’s what all the capital U’s and V’s were about in the other post…. Oh, Derren, one is amused! x
16. @Fosca – Don’t be a TIT.

    I hope I don’t have to explain myself here.
17. Well I have a poster but am waiting on a UV light to look for the braille markings (or whatever they are). Not sure I shall know what’s there even when I do.

    LC x
18. lol, I bet I don’t spot anything, unless the rabbit is really obvious.
19. sorry – i’ve just read that post properly and now realised my name – did u mean me?. Apparently if ur local sorting office is swindon that includes all of Oxford too then there’s a 3-4wk backlog on parcels. They’re all sitting in vans. 🙁
20. Ooooh the rabbit. I know what that means 😀
21. hmmm…that would probably explain why the U’s and V’s in the recent atheist post were in capitals!
22. just had another thought…i’m wondering if thats why a Philips Ambilight tv image was used on that atheist post as well…or maybe thats the prize! but i doubt it..more just a hint at what you were meant to do with the poster or something because of the name
23. @Stephen Nevison – ask in a pub – they check the bank notes with them and loads of them have one now.
24. @ ed F – are you talking the hand gesture type?
25. I have a feeling I may know what the rabbit is too. Unless I’m barking up the wrong tree, of course! (which considering how unwell I’m feeling at the mo, is entirely possible! lol)

    LC x
26. Damn! I thought just figuring out the poster had a UV message would be enough to be in with a chance, now we’ve got to decipher them as well? I’m hopeless with cryptic clues…
    Don’t know about rabbits but I’m not a happy bunny 😛
27. If you flick us the rabbit tonight I will miss it. I hope it can wait till much later or the morning. Ach, prob not. I shall endeavour to catch up.
28. Lol! This explains why my post ages ago on the original poster sale announcement was “not authorised” and never showed!! I thought I’d dreamt typing it all out – heheheheh!!

    Now, even though I spotted that weirdness on my poster, I bet I don’t catch sight of any rabbit!
29. @ Lady Claire

    Me too! My head feels like it’s been boiled and my nose has been running all day 🙁 Not pretty

    I think everybody feeling poorly deserves a present…
30. Adeo help! why am i not authorised to buy a poster?? i clicked on the Enigma buy now thingy to the right, and computer said no! i wanted to see how much they are and try persuade the old man to part with his cash 😮

    Msg from Abeo: it’s because its using the old derrenbrownart site link which no longer works (i’ll get it updated), for now click ‘Store’ in the menu at the top or click here 🙂
31. I feel EXTRA special, even my poster is a palindrome it’s no 141
32. Just realised those 3 words are pailindromes… ‘Satan oscillate my metallic sonatas’ 😉
33. Im only a simple one………….whats all this about???? Do I need to take my poster to s Sunbed or something????? Help!
34. @Francis – absolutely! lol
    Us pooly people should be commended for our devotion to Derren and this blog when what we really want is a hot toddy, a warm bed and lots of medication! 😀 (well, that’s what I feel I need at the mo anyway! :()

    LC x
35. I still can’t afford one, Im struggling to afford food at the moment!! 🙁
    I never win anything anyway though 😛 Good luck to all entering! x
36. thank you Abeo dearest 🙂 i shouldve tried store before panicking lol!
37. @ LC

    Too right, I could be snuggled up with a hot water bottle and chicken soup, but instead I’m looking for a cheap UV torch on ebay, and a rabbit.

    I blame Phillis 😉
38. @Paul – I like the classics “Do geese see God?” and “Never odd or even” 😉

    There’s also a good one about being mad, but I can;t find it…

    No, wait, I can find it after all..

    “Dammit, I’m Mad”
39. If anyone needs a UV light, get your hands on a Sonic Screwdriver.
    Don’t look at me like that… they’ve got a built in UV buld on the Sonic end.
    So if you need one, just search out a relative/friend with kids.
    Or me.
    Because I’m really cool and have my own Sonic Screwdriver. Along with a TARDIS on my phone.

    😉

    xoxoxoxo
40. Paul -“rats live on no evil star”… not just a palindrome but a scientific fact as well… most stars are way to hot for rats to live on, and the deathstar in Star Wars had zero rodent problem. It was fictional, so it couldn’t have had rats if it tried 😉
41. Oh dear…..’us POOLY people’……I didn’t mean that. Then again, as I feel like sh*t, perhaps I do?! lol

    LC x
42. Obviously ‘buld’ should be ‘BULB’. Bulds aren’t pieces of tech that were lost in the Great Time War, don’t worry.

    😉

43. @ Lady Claire – I’m sure I’ll be bollocked for my alternative therapy, but ask someone to get you some fizzy Vit C 1000mg from those who tell us every little helps (these ones taste better) and splosh 3 tabs in a big glass of juice or water and take another drink with a tablet each hour tonight till you go to bed – or until you feel a loo break coming on. Vit C can really do the trick with colds and it’s under a pound and adults can take large doses, so there’s no harm in trying. Hope you shake the bugs off.
44. Haha looks like typos are contagious!

    @The Zomeister – good thinking! Actually blue LEDs often give out a little UV light too, if anyone’s got anything with blue LEDs in…
45. @JayKay: and here’s me thinking that nobody read anyone else’s posts!

    Anyway, I’ve cracked it: http://tiny.cc/0fVWu

    Or haven’t I…
46. By the way, did any of you early buyers get the special prize that was supposed to come with it?

    – heh – there’s always one! – Phillis
47. @Fosca – if it’s to do with games, I am knackered!
48. Comments enabled on the youtube clip, btw
49. @JayKay – Well thankyou for your kind advice. I don’t usually take anything, but I may in this instance. 🙂

    LC x
50. so how exactly are we to know if we won or not?
