Quoting a previous RTI Twitter feed:

Radio Tatras Interna: 29 May you will hear a special phrase on RTI.
Send that phrase to ... or SMS +421907417497. One correct
entry will win a NEW PC

So, do we get a clue as to what constitutes a 'special phrase', or
even a heads up on when exactly we should listen? Or would that not
be cricket?
—* Christopher England just said that *

I know, it's that famous Anglo-Saxonism . . .

We did think of using Dimitri Konstantine, but people might associate that with a holiday villa and not radio – if they were to google to double check they heard right. So that was out.
We then thought of using a name like Christopher or Eric and whilst being incredibly popular we thought that due to there popularity it was to easy, especially when you consider the value of the prize.
So we went for XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX. The number of Xs are a bit of a red-herring.
As it goes the thing we went for was in part due to cricket, the phrase being used was decided upon whilst at the Slovak Cricket Club international day a couple of weeks back – yes rain stopped play.
So sorry can't leak the name – but the special-phrase will be aired regularly from just after 7.00amCET and throughout the day.

Then if it's not an Anglo Saxonism it's a Catherine Tateism

A Doctor Who phrase wouldn't work – not totally universal.

That's the Catherine Tateism. Actually a Dalekism would work well - Exterminate!! I claim the new PC but then if he's as bad as the old one . . .  .
