This from Telford Vice’s sports column in today’s Sunday Crimes Times
… that ineffectual collection of suits , the ………….. who look up from their trough of television money only when it is danger of not overflowing, would have squealed …………..
If it wasn’t so darn true it would be funny.
I’ve deliberately left blank the name of the organization (take a guess) and what they would have squealed about (complete quote lower down the page.)

* SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee.
South Africa has a competitor at The Winter Youth Olympics currently on the go in Innsbruck. Surprised? Me too!
16 year old Sive Speelman, an ‘Alpine skier’ is participating in 4 events.
The athlete is currently there with his coach.
In addition to the coach, Sascoc have sent a 4 person support team, which includes Sascoc CEO Tubby Reddy, all flying business class (the athlete and coach flew economy) and no doubt staying in fancy hotels, using chauffeur driven vehicles and all the other essentials of an arduous ‘working trip.’
Not bad work if you can get it.
