I see that after a thorough investigation, ITV can once again charge people a fortune to place a vote for their favourite ice dancers. Won't be too long before Ch4, Ch5 and the BBC get cleared to carry on with their "quizzes" and competitions I guess.
The way I see it, if you're dumb enough to think that you'll be the only one ringing up to win these competitions prizes, then you deserve to be ripped off. But, in the spirit of these competitions, I've launched one myself. Can you complete the following phrase;
The TV production companies are laughing all the way to;
A - the pizza shop
B - the bank
C - the police station
Just call 09011 123 456 789 . Lines are open now until midnight, Jan 1st 2007.
