24hr du mans is because you get to drink cheap french ale for 24 hours solid while watching it.

You have to remember that for the 500 highly paid footballers tha 'made it', there are probably 100x that amount that didn't. Did any of us through away education to chase a career in sports? No - because the chances of success are far to slim, that most of us wouldn't chance our lives on it. This pretty much goes for all sports.

I spotted that parked behind Kendals on my way out of work last night, I nearly threw up in my lid!

I guessed it had to belong to a footballer. I love watching football but they do get paid waaaay too much IMO.

I agree, however with the current Cult of Celebrity, kids are growing up to believe that there are opportunities out there to make them rich without raising a finger.

There was a program on pushy parents on TV where a PARENT kept their kid out of school to go to training for something because "he wont need qualifications when hes playing in the Premiership"
