I listed everyone in a word document and assigned each one a number. I then asked my Twitter friends to choose a number. Pat Phelan chose Mike Butcher - the lucky number was 16. Thanks again to everyone who took part. I'm very sorry for taking so long to come back with a winner. No excuses, just haven't been able to make the time. Mike Butcher has won.

Having said that, you said it's a joke, so I'm happy! Hey Eion,

The rules dictate that nobody should win the iPod. Yet, I'm going to give it away to one of the entrants to show my appreciation for the help everyone showed. So, why the negative comments? I'm surprise. I thought you'd have been pleased. I'll draw a name out of a hat, so to speak, this afternoon. @Eoin We didn’t get a name that we thought was suitable.
