    Am I the only one that had to google to find out who Richard John Bingham really is or was?

    You might be the only one who suspected it was relevant.

    Have you looked up Joint Organisation for Key Evaluation?

    Note to self - Must try harder next year.

    To start with, I thought it might be something to do with !!!!, a bit like the name Richard Head, but I couldn't see a way to pronounce it to make it sound like something else.

    No, I spotted the Joint Organisation for Key Evaluation straight away.

    Oh no! I must be so gullible - I read this yesterday but didn't pick up on the prank until I read the other comments below :eek: I can't have been the only one... can I?

    Not that it worried me when I read it as I can't really be bothered entering the click and win comps seriously. Good joke though particularly the Richard John Bingham.

    I'll try not to fall for it next year!
