and you do not need to be intelligent to do it. They have all week every week to suss it out and some still play folk out of position when they don't have to, pick their old pals / best mates...etc etc etc. One thing they do need however is ...a bit of luck getting there in the first place, whether that be hard work plus luck or brown nosing plus luck. .....look at some of the thick tw.ats that have done it.....too numerous to mention. I will give one example however....Paul Merson!! I rest my case m'lud. hth
But there's more than one type of intelligence, Mr Reev! One or two on here might have more qualifications than Richard Branson or Paul Sykes (for example) - but not many will have their brass!
