No worries Teddy, I took it with a smile, I would have had to google Mary Berry (which I probably would have done if I had time) Originally posted by Teddy Eagle
Wasn't meant as a put down DE. Mary Berry is the Queen of Something or Other (Hearts, tarts & soggy bottoms) & Eddie Izzard would've given us a Palace presence, albeit not Buckingham.

Well thats that nonsense over till the next time , the girls really would be more credible if they stopped comparing themselves to the mens game I blame the media. From todays ' Times ' - '' As Olga Carmona wheeled away in celebration, it was as though each of the 57 years of hurt - since an England team had lifted the World Cup in 1966 '' etc etc I have a degree of respect for Womens Football but it doesn't extend to comparing it the the Mens game.

You are talking nonsense, I'm afraid. A governor general may well represent a king or future king but a governor general can't represent the president of the football association. Me talking nonsense ? Never
I didn't watch any of it though as I was glued to the World Athletic Championship watching Katerina Johnson-Thompson become World Champion in the Heptathlon . Now that girls is a performance we should be shouting about

It's over now but the bonus row still goes on. Surely they're in so many adverts, that they're going to be getting as much money as they deserve anyway. Unfortunately, the final performance was poor - it's time to forget about it and move on. Of course, there'll be Guardian articles and Lineker and Wright advocating they get 100k a each. What the FA needs to do is clearly state that this would take from grass roots girls and boys football to enrich people who are likely getting quite well off anyway - every magazine and sports brand wants them, despite the losing.

Ditto, and I agree with your final sentence. Incidentally, the commentators yesterday continually pronounced her name as "Katrina" (3 syllables) whereas I'm sure its always been pronounced as you've typed it i.e. "Kat-er-een-a".
