People that make living in England not very appealing

1. Jade Goody
Racist or just a complete half-wit? And why do we care? Big Brother and the general British populate have made this poor excuse for a human-being famous and a millionaire to boot. When I was kid I was never a fan of just the upper class having the opportunity to become rich, mainly because Catford Boys didn’t have much of a record for producing millionaires, Spike Milligan aside. But if reality television and the tabloids can create dim-witted waste of spaces like Jade Goody then I would rather have no part of it. Goody says she is the “25th most influential person in the world.” Well maybe in Chaville but she disgusts me and make’s me embarrassed to be English.

2. Ben May and Glenn Johnson
Glenn Johnson earns 20 grand a week, Ben May plays for Millwall, so probably a little less but money as they say does not buy class. These two professional footballers were blessed with a talent but very few brain cells.

Despite their considerable salaries and having agents who wipe their arses for them, they were found running out of B&Q (think Home Depot to my American readers) with boxes of toilet seats with which they had changed the price tags for those of cheaper ones. When the security guard (annual salary £15k) stopped Johnson (annual salary £1m) and May (annual salary £300k) they were said to be both laughing their heads off. What is wrong with these people?

Should there be a Salary Cap in Football?
Personally I think there should be! It’s just getting to be stupid money in football at the top of the premiership!
It’s always the same teams at the top proving that football success is based purely on money which ruins the idea of it being a sport! They’ve done it in rugby, basketball, hockey and American football and it makes the sports more competitive and better to watch!
I do a little Spread Betting from time to time and most matches don’t hold much surprise who is going to win, its boring! I want to see a team at the bottom pulling off an amazing season beating last seasons winners in a close fought battle!
Make things fair! It shouldn’t be about money!
Plus!
All there is all that money in the premiership and barely any of it stays in the UK so it’s not even helping the economy!
From my Spread Betting (or more precisely Football Spread Betting) if I ever win big (which is never, I’m unlucky) it’s still nothing compared to the average premiership players weekly wage!
