No, I'm with the rest, can happily do without the Cup Final and the royal family. The latter I'd flog off to the Americans, they've already bought London Bridge so we can ship them Buckingham Palace as well. .

Agreed, but spectator sport is tied to money and dominated by it now. I can't see that ever changing. .

Agreed, but we are where we are, not twenty years ago. .

She's deleted that post and apologised as follows: "Sorry everyone for my emotional comments and insults. Too much stress has got the better of me. Heat of the moment things and certainly not my intent to fan any flames." It's a non story, part of an ongoing feud between the two wives, dating...

He was forecast to be runner up to Anthony Joshua, but I think the asthma drug story will have blown that. That leaves Lewis Hamilton as the runner up to Joshua, so Hamilton could become one of the few double winners. .

Personally I don't care what they do, sport is just a branch of show business and they're primarily there to entertain. And entertainers use whatever deceit is necessary to do that. No magician ever performed any actual magic, but we don't ban them. .

I think they did, but of course the selection to choose from is rigged. The organisers pick the twelve most likely and the public can only vote for one of them. And they are obviously voting on performance rather than personality, since even Steve Davis won it once! .

It adds to the entertainment. Lets face it, if sport didn't entertain there wouldn't be any prize money, so the more entertainment, the more money comes in. .

They'd best stay out then, not long now to next April. :rolleyes: .

The takeover is complete now. I'm wondering if the Sky News opening screen will have the Disneyworld tower in the background and their normal TV opening music playing: "When you wish upon a star - - - - -" .

Unless the Norman Tebbitt variety, when he said: "My father got on his bike to look for work". .

I might have thought possibly cheating, until I recently listened to a medical program about asthma in sports people. It appears the incidence of asthma in the whole population is 9% affected, but in sports people it's typically 25% or more. Apparently the increase over the norm is due to the...

Thanks for the information. Since I've never had personal use for these schemes I don't know much about them and thought they were all via employers. .

But it's not Moto GP so doesn't have the glamour attached. Once we bring in other racing many other names spring to mind, Joey Dunlop for example. .

No, he's just posted again 6 minutes ago. Link .

And not just Italians, Valentino probably has the biggest following ever around the world for a Moto GP star. But that's as much for his happy go lucky personality as anything else. They adore him as a person, not just for his racing, he's so full of fun. He lived in London for years and...

He posted three times on Tuesday, the last at 7.14 pm. Link .

I don't understand why you've posted "I don't think so", when what you've followed with is exactly what I posted? EU hard border, Irish bending it. .

Yes that's certainly very odd. The votes are probably mistakenly on performance rather than personality. Asking the public anything is usually a mistake! .

Unfortunately in N.I. the would-be pedelecers do need them to introduce the law exempting pedelecs from motorcycle law. Without that the police say they should treat them as motorcycles in every respect. .
