Rex, I just finished reading a book called Despatches about a war correspondent's experience in Vietnam. This sort of story was told in that too. The soldier, presumed dead, was dumped onto a truck in a body bag and managed to wriggle himself free. The sort of thing that would stay with you...

Speak for yourself Kevin, I have not enjoyed it anywhere near as recent 6 Nations.

Is it any good? How does it pay for itself?

I think when you hear about stuff going on these days where people work for nothing - theese internships absolutely boil my piss - I think there would be a need fo unions, in the absence of laws which shold protect internees for example.

Unfortunately, many people do, it was why unions were created in the first place. I believe unions went too far and were responsible for the loss of several of our key industries during the 60's and 70's. They ruined some fine long established industries back then to the point where people...

Kim, I take your point about if you don't like the job - it's an argument I've heard before. But does this also stretch to workers if their bosses start eroding their terms and conditions? Do they just accept it or leave? I don't think it's an ideal way for a business to operate. Imagine if...

Good luck GR. I have an all-day session booked in the pub watching all 3 games. Shame we are out of it, but then by the end of the day, so too will most others. I have a feeling that if you win in Italy, it will not be in vain, as I think Ireland may come up short in Paris. How on earth you...

You cannot argue with the deals he got his memebers. I would not want monkeys driving the underground. Please do listen to his radio interview, repeated again tonight and probably available on i-player, near the end of the program tonight. Loves vinegar, vinegar on everyfink. Pantomine...

Looks to be the case OL. Google interview Radio 4 with Becky Milligan from yesterday's pm news program (5pm).

reports saying he has died. Not every one's cup of tea but rip. I was only listening to a radio 4 piece yesterday where a journo had taken him out for a meal and an interview. Came across as a likeable fella in that.

What a tedious twat that fella was. I am amazed he wasn't lamped sooner.

I'll go along with the idea that this lad will be hoisted by his own petard eventually. He must feel untouchable in his own little universe.

Do planes have horns?

Disappointed there's no votey thing but I think he will get a stadium ban for the rest of the season, confined to a hotel with an FA observer with him to ensure he has no contact whatsoever with the side leading up to and during the game. Probably an anger management course, maybe provided by...

Well I thought it was a good message too, I wonder who the fella was that managed to get his face blanked out?
