Couple of things while I download Tomby's probably-tedious file

i) Lee Socks as a telly pundit: I'm in favour.The way I see it, kids won't listen to their teechers unless held at knife-point, and therefore gather much of their education from the TV. And while you've got Hansen saying things like "Loook at that, he's decimated the barr there" and commentators misusing words like "fortuitous", it's a good thing to have Lee Socks among them. He may be a bit dull (though less so than Brooking was), but at least he can construct a sentence - and you never know, he might grow into the r??le when he becomes more relaxed.

ii) On the subject of commentators - it's "as is my WONT" (pronounced 'won't') not "as is my want". It's "off his own BAT", not 'back'. Wankers.

iii) I can't remember what (iii) was. Got a bit too stressed about commentators.
