It's also a complete waste of time as you don't have to provide ID, so
can give any name & address you like.

Did you hear Jack Dee's effort while hosting Just a Minim on ISIHAC last

I like football, but to be honest, I've been concentrating on the lower
leagues for the past few seasons. This year it's the Championship (old
Div 2) - woo-hoo!

I don't really follow the Premiership at all. I can't keep up with
which foreign player has moved from one of the American owned clubs to
the Russian owned club or the Qatari-owned club (or other combination)
for some ridiculous amount of dosh. I mean, �200k a week?!

I didn't - I'll have to see if it's on iPlayer.

OK, I wasn't really counting Football Focus or Final Score as they
don't really show football. They show people talking about football.

Anyway, I'm happy to be wrong as now I know that I can watch Leeds v
Derby live on Saturday.

Ah, you said "rugby" - that's "rugby league", which is whole different
ball game!
