Sneak is pleased to announce the lucky winner of Sneak's highly-prized Gmail account. As you may recall, Sneak asked readers to send in their pleadings, with the most persuasive (or most pathetic) snatching up the valuable username "barrelofmonkeys" at gmail.com - the first and possibly only barrel of monkeys registered to use Google's innovative online service. And the winner is... Mr C. McDermott of Dundee. His winning bid follows: "PLEEEASE may I have it before my wife (much as I love her) completely ruins everything remotely technical that I have. This free Gmail account would be my last safe haven of sanity.... And if that doesn't persuade, I'm willing to trade her in for it."
Clearly a heartfelt plea and one that Sneak can certainly see eye-to-eye with - when Mrs Sneak is out of earshot, at least.
