How many people paid to watch the union today

Some of us know what your age is

and at your time of life you dont have forty minutes to waste your quite correct,

Thousands upon thousands. Baffling.

To be fair, it's not that baffling. The masses always follow things that are rubbish, just look at the album chart, film chart and TV ratings.



Not exactly high brow things at the top of those lists, just like yawnion pulls in the masses because most people are sheep.

If enough people say something is good enough, then others will say that it's good enough.



In short, it's how the NME stays in business.

What's the NME ?

Think it's still the Germans as far as you're concerned, Frank.

Warum ? Ich spreche ein bischen Deutsh aber nur ein veinig .



I still do not know. What is the NME ?

The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMENew Musical Express[/url - a publication about all the 'goings on' in the hit parade!!



Launched in 1952 from the merger of [i"The Musical Express"[/i and [i"Accordian Weekly"[/i (I imagine you were an avid subscriber Frank!!) - responsible for the creation of the UK Singles Chart.



You remember Frank - 78's, Al Martino, Lita Roza, David Whitfield, Winifred Atwell??

Thankyou Walt.



I was a big fan of Alma Cogan but nowadays

most pop music drives me crazy

I think some folk just need to accept that international rugby union is massive and has been for decades

We all know that John but we can't understand why. It is rather like 80000 people paying a lot of money to watch paint dry a few times every year.



Maybe the people who do it could explain. For example the sports commentators seemed to think they had watched a great game.
