Sorry Keys

Big Fat Gypsy Weddings got an amazing 8.2 million viewers on C4 last night while the Arsenal-Ipswich semi final - shown on the BBC and not Sky by the way - got a mere 4.35 million.
And one can only assume that Gooners living in Southend, not to mention Ray Parlour, probably watched one and recorded the other.

Alastair Campbell has suddenly remembered to complain about the News of the World possibly hacking into his phone...er...seven years ago! But he must have forgotten to mention it in the intervening years when he and the Labour Party had their heads up Rupert's arse.

I have to say I never did like Andy Gray and nor do a lot of people who actually go to football and don't think the sun shines out of Steven Gerrard's bottom. But this strange new streak of puritanism at News International does look awfully suspicious.
I worked at The Sun for six years and if everyone who ever expressed a sexist opinion got fired, the paper would never have come out. That's not a defence for sexism but you have to wonder at the agenda down at Sky.
After all, try watching the autocuties on Sky News and try and work out how many of them were employed for their journalistic skills. And more to the point, how many good female journalists have not been employed by Sky for aesthetic reasons. This is an industry which in many other areas is not afraid to promote good women to senior positions.
But back to Gray and Keys.
For a start, someone in their close knit team obviously disliked them enough to leak the first clip. And there seem to be no shortages of people willing to leak further clips.
I have a friend who deals with Keys a lot and she reckons he is an arrogant shit at the best of times.
This could be the excuse Sky needs to get a younger, fresher team in to present football, as opposed to two men who model themselves on Gene Hunt. Though I really hope they don't choose Jamie Redknapp - at least, not until he has his adenoids done and stops making those God awful holiday ads.

The advert for The Independent's spin-off for thick people - i - has an ad which boasts that it will not focus on meaningless celebrities. And then shows it being read by Jemima Goldsmith/Khan.

I've been asked to go to a reunion of my old football side, now that we're all old and fat. No wives allowed. Mainly because we may want to discuss the offside law.

Apparently there is a bit of debate over how to open and close business emails as the format does not suit the traditional 'dear' and 'yours faithfully' greetings of old. It all comes after a US congresswoman sent a message to journalists which opened with 'Hey folks'. I find Yo or Wotcha works for most occasions but tend to go for Hi. As for goodbyes, I don't see the point of BR because if you can't be bothered to spell out Best Regards then they can't really be considered best, can they?
See ya...Solly
