The latter, is not happening, but i've had to shut down the site, and am going to have to scrape up several ££££ (yes, 4 digits), for the solicitors.
I was given no warning, contrary to popular belief. And yes, my parents did fucking freak... wouldn't yours? No. I don't get grounded... and I sure as shit don't get sent to boot camp (like some people I know... *cough*Chris*cough*).
For the above reasons, I will not be participating in MyCoke-related stuff anymore, I've chosen to basically remove myself from the scene... just posting this here, 'cause I think you all have the right to know.
Sorry people,

(and yes, this is the real me).

Bastards... However, we all knew Coke was going to do something sonner or later. By the way, 7.000 Euros is 8,856.42 USD. That's about $8,800 USD more than I have ever had!
On a side note, Chris, you went to bootcamp?! HAHA! That sucks man. LOL, From what I hear Boot Camp is as hard as our Army BCT which is considered
hell.
Anyway, I guess all good things do come to an end. Take care Tom!
