.... well according to the Sky football commentator at Ewood Park
(Blackburn). It's 5C at Manchester airport - mild I would say for a January
night.. We need the equivalent of Private Eye's "Dumb Britain" on here. I'm
in my usual bad mood having seen Mylene Classe get 17 out of 18 right on
"Sex in the City 3" and 1 out of 20 right on general knowledge on
Mastermind. I'm no snob but I detest this celebrity society.

Dave, grumpy old man mode.

Unless they have good thermals under their suits you'd be surprised
how little they wear for spending 2 hours sat outside on an open
commentary boat.

The crew know that if you don't wrap up you have to post warning
notices refering to brass monkeys. Though I guess the fact they are
involved in the match and running on adrenaline is a bit different to
the crew just sat waiting for the final whistle... Camera operators
are a little more active but they still wrap themselves well up.

5C is certainly mild but some boats are very exposed and catch the
tiniest wiff of wind. Suspended, as many are, below the roof of the
stand 50 to 100' up in the air. I can't remember what blackburn is
like though.

You are in for a treat next week The Beeb is getting into bed with the
Greedy Oil Party by the sound of it: "Chimp week."

I can't wait.
