    Just listening there to Today FM and on email bag with Arthur Murphy a listener wrote in to say that while watching the X-Factor over the weekend she noticed two seperate competitions, one for a trip to the premiership game of your choice and I don't know what the other was. Anyway the viewer/listener noticed that the winner in each competition was called Bridey McGuire. How stupid are these guys for making a basic cock-up like that? TV3 said that both adverts are paid for by clients and the competitions are not run by TV3, which is fair enough but should Tv3 be running ads that are blatently a sham anyway?

    Maybe Bridey McGuire is just a lucky lucky woman?

    I remember hearing it once and laughing at the name.

    All the competitions are by one company, so there is only one winner among the lot. Therefore she won one and gets to choose from the various prizes. It's a scam, Jim, but not as we know it.

    It's a ring toss game.
