Ranting about stuff - Ross Vs. Ronaldo

  • Here's a response I posted to a arctile on money site Fool.co.uk
  • Kinda got a bit off topic, which was "Rip-Off Britain" and ways to fix it. As you'd imagine the thread turned into a bit a of a whinge fest, but it kept me entertained for a while.
  • Here's an extract from my rant:

"Jonathon Ross isn't paid £18m at all, he's on just below £6m a year. This is still obscene - more than (most of) the top premiership footballers.

Football fans however pay their money and take a choice. We buy our shirts and season tickets in exchange for a service, we want the best players in to get the job done for our teams. They have spent their whole lives honing their skills, and ensuring that they are in the peak of physical condition, so they can get the results we crave. Jonathon Ross on the other hand, fluffy, pleasant and entertaining as he undoubtedly is, has no specific skills, apart from his chameleon-like ability to gush, grovel and kiss-up to celebrity A-listers and D-listers alike, week after week."
