    Just got a blank page with 'Service is busy' written on it! :rolleyes:

    Now that wasn't inevitable at all was it! ;)

    Just goes to show how many people out there are trying to access it!

    I emailed them when the giveaway was first announced suggesting that perhaps they should do a prize draw at the end of each 24hr period of all the entries received. That it would be fairer for all those who had to work... and I suggested that their site may well grind to a complete halt and that I hoped they hadn't under-estimated the take-up for the offer (once us lot hears of it they've had it! lol) :rotfl:

    They didn't bother replying. :rolleyes:

    To be honest the whole thing is quite an unfair way to do it anyway, when you think about how some people have like 20mb broadband and pages open in a flash and some people are still stuck on dial up and it takes like 5 minutes to load!!

    :rolleyes:
