    So who did badgergame.co.uk ?

    So I buy some Badger ales and there' a competition. Enter an alphanumeric code into www.badgergame.co.uk , do some random stuff with badgers, and get a 50p coupon.

    It tries to install a driver so some dodgy web site can print a voucher on your printer.

    The installation supposedly worked, but the web site times out trying to talk to it. A retry caused a Windows error.

    Trying to report a fault on the online form gives a Microsoft ODBC SQL Server error.

    What a crock of tulip.

    Not one of you lot, was it?

    Random stuff with badgers? Like that Welsh MP you mean?

      Nothing to see here, move along. Haven't you got homes to go to?

        If you have been drinking the Tanglefoot then I would be 99% sure the problem is a "user error".
