Its ok - it's not their money.

They can spend it on what they want now.

[Simpo Two]

No, *you* have

[Puggit]

How do we get our free tickets then?

In effect it's a government subsidy for sport.

They do that sort of thing.

Will the players share their drugs with the sponsors?

Any chance we'll also get a free drive of the new FWTaxpayer Special?

Agreed! I always look forward to February & March knowing that one of the great sporting competitions will be on. This money at least means something good will come out of the billions Brown and Darling are throwing at our bankers.

Now, if they could only add a stipulation that Brian Moore be gagged for the entire competion ...

I quite like Brian Moore's comments - I don't remeber watching a match with him commentating, where he hasn't raised a chuckle from me after a random rant/remark. Each to his own though

Roll on the 7th.....

Brian Moore always manages to make me laugh too. Plus he seems to have a better grasp of the rules than anyone else commentating, and knows the realities of the game from the heart of the scrum. BBC coverage would be weaker without him in my opinion
