Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I'm with WA, uneducated Veganism, based on Greggs vegan sausage rolls and KFC vegan meals will make matters worse.

Sometimes and sometimes. There will always be a decision prior to the bout about who is going to win, and usually how (most wrestlers have a signature finishing move which they'll want to win with). There will always be some pre-arrangement to the course of the match. Whether it's entirely choreographed depends on the wrestlers involved and the setting. If they've worked together a lot and it's a low key show then they might decide to "call it in the ring" and just make it up as they go. If they've not worked together much, or if it's a big show with a lot riding on the match there will be more preparation and pre-arrangement.

And whatever is agreed in advance audience reaction might well change things as the match progresses, so if one thing isn't working or they're not getting the reaction hey want, then they'll have the freedom to switch things during the match and work the crowd.

It's not sport. Its a show, but I get a bit annoyed at the "it's all fake" thing. I've seen it up close. There aren't any special effects in wrestling, or clever editing to make it look good on the telly. Those guys (and girls) really do that stuff for real.

[Letter to one of the papers this week: anything you can do while smoking a cigarette cannot be considered a sport.

Reply the next day from a village cricketer who was once caught on the boundary by a fielder with a cigarette in one hand and a pint in the other, who put the pint down for long enough to take the catch!]

Is it then not a sport if it can't Swits? Triathlon? Rowing? Athletics?

Nellers - money, like sport, is never as binary as that.

Veganism won't save the world, or even close, and it is not a healthy human diet. Food from grazed livestock is not a challenge to the climate, and allows food production on land unsuitable for other food production. The use of livestock in sustainable arable with long complex rotations, and periods under grass is far better than any arable system with synthetic fertiliser.

It is being promoted by large food processing companies because it is an opportunity to sell low value foods at high prices.

And don't even ask about the influence of the seventh day adventists.

But don't eat factory meat!
