A bit of "good to hear" news after a dammed difficult day. I'm very pleased for her (how she wasn't awarded sports personality of the year baffles me - what has that cretinous footballer achieved?)
Re: Few \"personalities\" deserve the honour more!
Come on Humperdink I think that's a little unfair! Nothing would have pleased me more than to see Ellen get 1st place last Sunday. (I took time to ring and vote for her). However Lad Beckham has been instrumental in restoring some national pride in what is the largest spectator sport in the UK. Can you believe that Dog Racing is second largest?! Also, whilst he is an uncomplicated person.., he actually gives quite a good account of himself. What were her words? "David is clearly as passionate about what he does as I am about what I do." Close anyway.
I'm with robp on this one. Ellen's honour is though excellent news. Do we know whether the Walthamstow lad got a gong too? It would be sad if he didn't, given the 'people's vote' of the TV award and the 'establishment' award of the gong to Ellen.
