    Nice.
    Eloquent if not perfect. And perfect if not perfectly eloquent.

    I'm very pleased to see another forum contributor publicly expressing his realistic appraisal of the hoodwinking of the 'ignorant' British public who are only 'ignorant' because they have been indoctrinated by this very process!

    In a sense, ignorance is self-inflicted. So look beyond what these people are telling you to discover what is really being said…

    I refuse to accept that any form of media would lie to us! Next you'll be trying to tell us that politicians lie ;)

    Spanish commentary could be wicked, though he might scream out "ALONSO!!!!!!!!!" every 30 seconds...

    I expect Bernie used to say to his second hand car customers 'the last owner's a lovely lady, a vicar's wife you know'.

    I don't want to start a new thread and I can't find the bbc/sky thread but I thought some of you would like to know


    You may find this interesting

    I emailed virgin media asking about F1, they replied today and they will not be showing F1 on their rented Sky sports channel, as sky wont give them the rights to it. this will come as a surprise and disapointment to all the people on forums who have been saying it doesn't affect them because they have virgin cable.

    I will email bt vision and I suspect the same will be true for them.

    If a mod can find the right thread then please move this and "bump" the topic back to the top cheers

    No seriously I wouldn't joke about something like this because it isn't funny.

    I'll let you know what bt vision say.

    The most polite way of describing them. Id have gone for a more "colourful" alternative.

    Sky and virgin are in direct competition so it not really surprising I'd rather let virgin have my money than sky any day.

    You have to pay extra for sky sports and Virgin pay Sky money to broadcast the chanel. How can they withhold programs. I still dont really believe this. What did they say excatly. Word for word.
