[BNM] [OT] chance to get a very cheap flat screen tv

[Antony Jones]

Hi,

	This is a great game. And it's a marketing ploy which really works - we've been doing it at work.

	However! The site sort-of-sucks - if you could pass these comments on it'd be appreciated.

	* I keep getting .NET/aspx whatever errors when I click bid. Something about a null reference to a redirect. And I can see all the code.

	* The whole click to bid, see the same page, and then have to click finalize is confusing and means I have to detail to people exactly how to use the site - it's not a good UI... I think it needs a bit of a rethink.

	Otherwise awesome. I'm bid-giddy ;)
