another DTG moan

Nigh-on impossible I'd have thought.

What do you have against millionaires ?

Nothing against millionaires per se, but I am choosy about which millionaires I wish to contribute to.

If there is a choice, then it is an easy choice to make. E.g. I try and support a local shop as opposed to a supermarket. I tend to buy my fish from a local fishmonger on the seafront as opposed to Tesco or Sainsbury's. Little bit more effort required, but more satsifying.

I have no desire to pay £450+ a year on television when it is supporting the Premier League and almost solely responsible for turning the game into the monstrosity it is currently.

Hairy muff.

What fish shop do you use then ? I've found one off Hove Lagoon along Basin Road. It services all my crabbing needs.

The one next to the Honeyclub (they have a big shop opposite on the pebbles with a turret roof) run by the legend that is Neil. He can be seen cutting fish on a Virgin advert that seems to run before/during Big Brother.

Well that has certainly made my mind up! Corporation over customer!

I was watching it on live streaming and the last ball is always a bit of fun. Any idea what happened?

Almost (but not quite) trumping ITV at last years climactic Brazilian GP, when despite driving like a woman on the blob, Lewis Hamilton was still handily placed to pick up the points he needed to bring home the title.

One Toyota Rav4, Churcill Insurance and Gillette ad-break later, we returned to see Hamilton trundling round the track in 18th place as though in a Tesco carpark looking for a parking space, following a dramatic and disastrous mechanical failure.

Well done everyone. Cheers Mr Rosenthal.

It always amazes me that the monopolies commission have not got involved with the showing of sport on TV.

Because it doesn't exists anymore.

It's the Competition Commission


and tgere's plenty of competiton except that the BBc don't bother bidding and Sky have got pots more money than ITV (actually so has everyone else)

so where is a sport expected to go. Can't go to the BBC as they tend not to bid (ie cricket, live football ) and sky ofer more than anyone who does bid

 

[barney]

setanta?

BoF, for a young man, you often give the appearance in your posts of being an elderly one. Sort of a retired colonel from the shires.

yeah, but he's right
