Sounds like bullshuit to me but then again I've been wrong before.Dropping
names is easy.
Tell you what Richard why do you just forward half of the entry fee's to me.
because if this is a legitimate contest and I was to enter I would win
anyway. so send me the money and we won't waste anyones time.
