A Reginald Perrin moment?

If and when Mr Stanford is found the tale he may tell should prove very interesting.  The opening of this particular  'can of worms' will no doubt have many 'fat cats' from around the globe somewhat worried today.

Cricket may never be the same again though. noooo:

Cricket has not been the same since "Beefy" Botham retired from the scene ~ one of the last true cricketers.

Now the game is full of shysters, crooks and others out to make money.

I am glad my Grandfather didn't live to see it.  noooo:

I see Tessa Jowell wants an Equality Olympics with lady wrestlers and male synchronised swimming.  noooo:

Lady wrestlers I could cope with, come to think of it (did I really write that?)  lol:

The other?

I've watched American wrestling on occaision and I have to admit the fights between female wrestlers are certainly more 'interesting'...  whistle:

I suspect because it concerns yet more financial shenanigans that many commentators believe will lead to the heart of both the British and American establishments. Already various elected representatives in the US have quickly declared donations received from this crook businessman will be repaid in full whilst the trail being followed seems to lead uncomfortably close to British Bankers and Politicos ~ so far it is speculation and gossip but who knows what will eventually come out of the woodwork.
