Now...I started getting suspicious when they first mentioned that I needed to contact Sir Terry Wogan directly in order to claim my prize. The idea that Sir Terry has an Excite email address seems slightly unlikely to me, although you never know.
On reflection, I've decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and I have sent a message to Sir Terry which I reproduce in full below;
"SHOW ME THE MONEY YOU PISSED-UP EUROVISION-LOVING LEPRECHAUN-SHAGGING IRISH TWAT!"
Now I'll just wait for my money to arrive...
