    Yes, I had the 'Entr' e-mail.

    Can't remember who the other one was, but it was the same formula. :(

  • These sort of emails remind of the programme/game show Bullseye (anyone remember it, showing my age now,:eek:) with Jim Bowen (the host) the last game of the programme, where the darts players have to score 101 or more with six darts to win the prize, if they lost, Jim used to say "Unlucky, heres what you could have won" - on come the studio helpers pushing A caravan, car or speedboat...
