1. Football’s 50 highest earners

    February 29, 2008 by andyg

    I’ve always thought footballers earn their money. That isn’t just because of their exceptional talent, but also because they provide me with entertainment that I couldn’t get elsewhere. I’m not questioning the scale of the monies paid, but simply the who gets the money.

    Check this out: Football’s 50 highest earners

    39th - Harry Kewell €4,800,000
    41st - Joe Cole €4,680,000

    As Chicken Dinner point out, why is Harry Kewell worth more than Joe Cole? Personally, I wouldn’t pay Kewell €4,800 a year, unless he was prepared to clean my toilet and wash my dishes and even then, I’d seek alternative quotes.

    I want whoever negotiated Darren Bent’s deal for €5,940,000 (19th highest paid footballer) to handle my next pay negotiations.

    I’m rubbish at football. I have to pay £18 a month to play + £5 each week for 5-a-side. Although, often, I think I should probably be paying more.

    The next tune into my digital record box this week is the fine Get the Fuck Up by Stupid Fresh and featuring the fine vocal talents of Stellar MC. Check it out! It’s the top download on DJ Download, so I’m not alone with this recommendation.

  3. Digital Switchover

    February 27, 2008 by andyg

    I was interested to read in today’s Guardian (well on the website, obviously, I’m not paying for one when I can read it for free online and I get to read a free copy of The Metro everyday anyway) that there will be an estimated £250m left over from the digital TV switchover.

    It’s quite amusing to think that anyone who watches TV has not heard of the digital TV switchover. It’s everywhere. That annoying little yellow robot is constantly appearing and bothering us to go digital.

    I’m all for money from the switchover fund going towards helping elderly or disabled people switch to digital but I can’t help but wonder why there is a concern for “low awareness of switchover among ethnic minorities and non-English speaking groups.”

    Although, I’d never move to country and not make any attempt to learn the language, I certainly don’t agree with the “If they can’t speak English, they can fuck off back to where they came from” Daily Mail brigade either. Perhaps it’s simply that ethic minorities and non-English speaking groups aren’t aware of the digital switchover because they don’t watch analogue TV as everything on there is presented in English?

    Just a thought.

    I’m loving this currently, it’s getting a lot of play in my bedroom and I’m sure the neighbours are bored with it already.
