Is there any alternative explanation?

Moggy

Additional revenue source is the most obvious that comes to mind!;)

Kev – the whole point is that Key shouldn’t NEED to explain anything. We have no right, nor even necessity for an explanation of Key’s actions.

No we certainly have no right, but since I presume the Forum is for the benefit of its members, as opposed to the publishers, it would be nice to think that the members views would have been considered. Or perhaps I am being naive.

If the assumption is correct, that the ads are here in order to enable the Forum to continue, it would be comforting to know.

I agree but you know what they’ll say? If you don’t want ads we’ll have to charge a sub for the Forum!!! Ouch!! You would have thought the group could manage to run a forum without, wouldn’t you??:rolleyes: I am glad I’m not the only one who deeply resents unsolicited selling/advertising.:mad:

UKAR, Manston Movements, Telegraph News, CNN, Cricinfo and Rugby World Cup

I have a feeling the Welsh might be feeling a bit gutted this morning!! But a win is a win……….

Brilliant shots – enhanced by the sea background.:)

GA and CD – good to hear that and it only emphasises my point. Mr Homewood please take note. Oh, and I think the Kiwis have won it just once, haven’t they? And they might have been runners-up once as well…..;);):)

Yup – there’ll be in the semis and I reckon all of the underdogs have fought well so far but there’s a long way to go yet.

Nosmo King – those comments belong in another era, so little does he know. And if only more state schools were added to the list of those which are far-sighted enough to offer an alternative to the near religious fervour soccer seems to attract, we might do even better in rugger than we already do.
