    Was this just for one day, or does this happen consistently?

    I think that happens when a person clicks on your ad more than once within a minute of time. Adwords doesn't count the click which is similar to the Adsense program. I could be wrong about this though.

    it's weird.

    It was me clicking so could google be ignoring by ISP if I have it as a filter in my analytics?

    It's probably being counted as invalid clicks - look under billing > billing summary and see if you've been credited.

    I do not believe that Analytics is 100% accurate i've had discrepancies between AdWords, Analytics and web stats packages a number of times before
