| 709869 | 2008-10-05 20:58:00 | Hi Team Last night everybody at Chez Billy watched Top Gear and naturally we had a go at the competition . We had five people present (self, wife, son, daughter, daughter's boyfriend), with six cellphones between us, but only two were able to register an entry . The other four, my two included, all reported back that an entry had already been registered for that number . How could that be? My phones certainly hadn't been used, I texted the entry myself and the spare phone lives in my car in case I leave my main phone at home (brain cell-count problem) so it wasn't in anybody else's hands either . So, who was placing entries using our phone numbers? It's got me beat . :confused: Cheers Billy 8-{( |

| 709871 | 2008-10-06 04:22:00 | Got a text message saying it was a system failure, though how that could preempt a text I'm not exactly sure, however the official word is that all entries have been validated. Will probably include those who tried twice as well! Cheers Billy 8-{) |
