From yesterday's Daily Mail

A letter from Mike Phelps of Yeovil, Somerset.



"Wouldn't it be great if TV coverage of the World Cup was limited to England's games, those of hosts South Africa and of the tournaments 'big guns'.

Then we would be spared the ordeal of having to sit through a match between Bongo Bongoland and the Former Soviet Republic of Bulimia and other meaningless events."




I wonder whose great idea it was to publish this?

I think the fact he lives in Yeovil tells you a lot...........

Someone should explain to Mike that he isn't obligated to watch every game if he doesn't want to.

I have to assume that this isn't Mike Phelps the olympic swimmer.

And wait a minute- Are you trying to suggest here that there are more than 1 channels available now on tv....? Perposterous... 
 
And come to think of it - Is there at all a life possible beside being couchpotatoe and watching tv...? ...Neeeeehhh.....</span>

You know, I'm kind of glad the paper printed this letter. Mr. Phelps basically just wrote in and said, "Hey, I'm a bigot with an overweening sense of entitlement, and I laugh at my own jokes." In a way, the paper was doing the community (and any potential girl- or boyfriends) a favour by making the information available.

I just hope there's only one Mike Phelps living in Yeovil.
