How do you feel?

About 40mins to London.

What do you do?
Sales Manager in Data Cabling Petty France, Citigroup in Canary Wharf are typical clients

Can you walk me through the winning moments?
Me and my Mrs were (celebrating our anniversary) we had just had a 6-7 course dinner and got back to the room. My MRS checked my phone and asked who is texting you at this hour! I said that I have no idea… and told her that she should check it! As she read the text, she started to jump up and down in the hotel room.

What was your strategy?
I started observing the Ford Focus auction from the beginning and decided to join the auction a bit later, which I did.
After that it was just being persistent. I said to myself that I just need to stick with it – and so I did.

How did you hear about MadBid?
My Mrs found about it when she was looking for PS3 for me for my birthday!
MadBid.com came in the search results (May time this year)
We registered and tested it out. And that we forgot MadBid.com for a while, but once we got an email about the Ford Focus auction I started to observe MadBid more intensively. We were thinking to buy a car anyway next year, so this was a real dream come true!

What are you going to do with the car?
We are going to keep it, since we would have purchase a new car next spring anyway! Since we both need a car it was a perfect auction to win!

What other products would you like to see?
I have been really concentrating my bidding on the car, which clearly paid off.
I also got involved in a large voucher auction, since I saw my opponent to bid on that.
What I would like to see on MadBid is:
Package holidays, say, Weekend in NYC incl flights
Sports equipment worth £1,000 where the winner can choose the equipment
Gift days, cruises, etc.

Apple has launched a counter attack on Windows 7, claiming that the new operating system is ‘still just Windows’. Windows 7 is due to be officially launched on October 22nd, with early reviews saying that it is an improvement on the previous Vista iterations.
Bill Evans, spokesman for Apple, said: “New Mac users continually tell us that they are tired of all the headaches with Windows and they want the ease of use, stability and security of a Mac. At the end of day, Windows 7 is still just Windows.”
Apple also claims that the inconvenience of having to perform a clean install from Windows XP is one of the reasons why people might seek an alternative, such as switching to a Mac.
Some of the end-user improvements that Microsoft has made to its new operating system include speed, compatibility search and organization functions and window stacking to allow users to manage multiple open documents. ADNFCR-2524-ID-19413291-ADNFCR

No sex please, we’re British… but if you’ve got reclining seats and decent suspension, you’re on. That’s the message from amorous Brits who are shaking off their stuffy reputations and getting it on in their cars.

Car sex was once the reserve of horny teenagers and dogging enthusiasts, but it’s now a mainstream activity. A whopping 45% of Britons surveyed by MadBid.com, the UK’s leading penny auction website, said they had experienced a little four-wheeled fornication.

The madcap antics of Britain’s drivers don’t stop with a bit of ‘how’s your father’ in the five-door saloon. A further 15% told MadBid.com they had performed a handbrake turn, while 8% see nothing wrong with running a red light.

When they’re not up to crazy behavior behind the wheel, the hormones are still working overtime. A massive 40% told us they had used Facebook to check out an ex. And when it comes to their current partners, randy Brits are getting frisky all over the place.

Our researchers were shocked to hear one respondent claim to have engaged in carnal pleasures in a sewage tunnel. Hopefully that wasn’t a first date. More sanitary venues for a spot of intimacy included the kitchen table, a fairground waltzer, the boss’s desk and Mount Fuji.

And you’ve heard of the earth moving? One of our respondents reckoned they’d done it in space. Don’t be jealous, that’s probably the name of a nightclub with strong cocktails and bad lighting.

On seeing the results, MadBid.com Managing Director Juha Koski commented: “I think this survey means that Brits can now shake off their reputation of being so reserved and having that stiff upper lip… If anything, I’d say that Brits are not afraid to sometimes do things that can only be described as totally MAD!”
