Was perlonker not for me after suggesting it would melt tora tora

[rockyracoon]

I'd bet my right arm that that was Monopoly money. If he'd have shown it to the camera before shredding it, he'd have more credibility. And why is he only attacking David Beckham? There is a raft full of companies and people cashing in on the World Cup.

After making such a ridiculous proclamation , he had no choice in his eyes - he had to save face .

Beckham was never going to agree to this self important idiot .

So here we are , what does he think has/ will be achieved ?

Absolutely nothing

If you have 10k to do something good with why not donate it to charity which do work with minority groups ?

Idiot

[ToraToraTora]

no - "Perlonker" was referring to the main subject of this post.

//I never liked Mr Lycett as a comedian but I applaud his decision to burn the £10,000.

He said he'd do it last week and he's followed through.//

And what exactly has been achieved ?

[royfromaus]

He have been better hiring a small plane and having a banner made along the lines of...

You will never get a knighthood you money grabbing prat

[johnny.5]

if he had set fire to it it have gone with a puff

of smoke

Am I Right ?
I'm Not Wrong !

DB probably doesn't know who JL is or even understand his humour. Was always a lost cause.

In my eyes at least Lycett has shown some integrity which cannot be said of money-grabbing Beckham. There is an obscene amount of money in the industry of professional football - it is no longer just sport.

He's focussed attention on Beckham. He's co-opted the news cycle. He's raised awareness - just like you raid awareness of your thoughts by posting the same answer three times in twelve minutes.

[sp1814]

Think about it this way. If Lycett had said, “David Beckham, please rethink your deal to promote the Qatar World Cup otherwise this money is going to charity, then there’s no way that Beckham could’ve changed his mind about the deal. He’d be effectively saying, “Okay Joe...please don’t give that money to charity - I’ve pulled out”.

Anyway legally there was nothing Beckham could’ve done at this late stage without being in breach of contract. He simply couldn’t walk away from a deal that would been struck months ago. He would be sued for millions.

Burning the £10k is a more effective protest than giving it to charity.

Same as the KLF stunt in 1994. People still remember that to this day!
