Won a trip to the America's cup

This is the 2nd win in 2 days after that ring on Monday:D
My biggest win aswell as the most i've won up until now is a pair of trainers/shoes last year that were limited edition Levi's and £50 vouchers to spend at Bluewater.
Thanks to the OP but i can't find it so not sure who you are.It's with BT but i searched and though there are 3 or 4 America's cup comps come up i don't think this one is amongst them.
It's a 3 day trip from 26-28 June staying at the Hotel Astoria Palace in Valencia,return flights,transfers within London(whatever that means) 2 dinners,one at a top restaurant and another at the hotel and a day watching the race on the Alinghi boat.
Sadly though i can't really go as the other half is at work those days.They couldn't have picked worse days really:(
I could have gone i suppose with her brother but i thought i'd offer it around.Other half first tried her folks but they can't really go though they'd like to as her dad is arranging a party for her mum the following Saturday so i asked my folks and they said yes.Luckily they are allowed to change the names as it was me and someone else to go.
I wopuld prefer them to go anyway as we got back from holiday 2 weeks ago to Spain which they were supposed to come with us but my mum hasn;t been well with C-Dif and was bad at the time so they couldn't go.They even paid for us to go on that holiday so they lost out big time:o
So this will compensate sp? for that a little:)
If anyone could find the thread for me i'd be very grateful:)
