Q: Ouch! Breaking Bad, not yet?

A. Surprisingly no. I've become more work and Internet orientated (apparent from watching the football) in the last couple of years. I really must make an effort to watch TV. Now there's something I thought I would never say.

Q. What have you said recently, that you thought you would never say?

A. mandarin is a language I know nothing about and therefore feel compelled to discuss as though I were an expert. It has no chance of becoming the international language because English is God's language and will always be the favoured tongue of the world.

Q. While we are talking England; Wayne Rooney has just equalled Bobby Charlton's England goal scoring in the game (currently being being broadcast) against San Marino. My question to you is two fold: 1. Do you thing Wayne is a worthy player to take Charlton's record? And 2. Do you think the manager's jibe about the England cricketers being able to play in the San Marino game, the political and jingoistic sleight that some elements of the press are making it out to be?

A: It depends; does the San Marino wicket take spin on the first day?

Actually no I don't. I think Roonay is a good player, but he is a product of the millennial generation, and in sporting terms that means he just turns up and "expects". He started very young and benefited from the extra years that provided. He is not a "pioneer" not is he "courageous" in that respect, but I admit he is talented. Bottom line: would I want him in my team at his price? Answer: No.
