With friends like Gazza, it's no wonder he shot himself.

Gascoigne's agent, Kenny Shepherd, said: "He's doing what? I am sitting
having an evening meal in Majorca. I'm speechless." "

Very nice too.

It is rather sad you find a man hunt so important you have to watch it
happening.

Yes, talk about flogging a dead horse. Newsflash - wackjob kills
himself. now the football results.

The Sky news reporters had very little information to give. They
kept repeating themselves. The BBC recognised that there were
other things happening in the world.
This was at the moment when it was all happening with Mr Moat. It's
a news story of great interest and for the BBC to run a recorded
parliamentary debate at that moment was ridiculous.

Well I can't help thinking that the actions of parliament that may
well affect us all a great deal matters rather more than sitting in
front of the telly just to wait and wait and wait to see if a hunted
deranged bloke will die or be locked up. I'm sure, though, that many
agree with you and prefer 'bread and circuses'. Hardly surprising that
that nice Mr Murdoch should give you what he did. Suits him, no doubt,
that you and others find it "interesting". :-)

You're in danger of sounding a bit too aware of your own obvious moral
and intellectual superiority Jim. You should leave us common folk alone.

Ah, Go for the man, not the ball, eh? :-)

Slainte,

Jim

You should know after 20+ years that Sky News 'Milk' any big story.
Actually when you look at the coverage it is the same recorded loop running
round and round most of the time. I hate Sky News because when any big
story breaks they really milk it dry. They almost wipe their hands of
anything else that is happening in the news and just stay with the one
story. Sky news is crap in my opinion and as someone else said, who would
want to follow this ****e so heavily anyway? Want a news update I suggest
you log onto a news website either at home on on your mobile.

Well, I didn't think it right to confuse you with my inimitable logic.

He might have been a wackjob but he had the courage to end himself,
which is more than most of us could do.
