Is it just me, or were those the ugliest strippers ever? I only saw the show
in the Footy Show's ad breaks, but jeez... no wonder they were sent to the
outback!
What tripe. But at least it's more honest than Thursday night BB.

It was Channel 5 in England. I was suspicious about the whole thing
during my fleeting visits during the ad breaks, then when I saw the C5
logo at the end it twigged - it was a composite of the things Britons love
best: tits-and-arse, and taking the piss out of Australians.

Also an opportunity to whinge about the quality of our weather, or more to
the point, the lack of quality of their weather. Not that it's *that*
bad, but they certainly like complaining about it. :)

Most strippers don't have very pretty faces. But then
again, most men aren't looking at their faces when they
perform.

I know, but these seemed even more so from what I saw.

Sure, but apparently I just don't have standards down there with the type of
people who would willingly watch Big Brother.

What were their breasts like? They wouldn't be like those of Julia

I agree, most men wouldn't be looking at the faces.

Australia may lose 2003 World Cup
By Roy Masters and Greg Growden
Clandestine moves by International Rugby Board
chairman Vernon Pugh to transfer the World
Cup to France may cost Australia the right to host
the lucrative tournament in 2003.
Although the tournament is only two years away, the
host union agreement between the IRB and
Australia to stage the quadrennial carnival has not
been signed.
Negotiations have stalled between Australian Rugby
Union chief executive John O'Neill, who has
been agitating for the host nations to receive a
larger share of the profit of the World Cup, and
Pugh, chairman of Rugby World Cup, the company which
holds the rights.
Pugh is prepared to assign more rights to ticketing,
TV and marketing, provided Australia and
co-host New Zealand pay.
Australia and New Zealand are also seeking
clarification from Pugh on which tournament costs
the IRB-RWC will pay and which the host unions will
pay.
The Southern Hemisphere countries do not want to be
burdened by tournament costs over
which they have no control, which could go as far as
accommodating high-ranking rugby
officials. They also do not want to be hit with
proposed new costs, such as participation fees.
Australia knows that Pugh and other IRB officials
fervently believe staging a tournament in the
Southern Hemisphere is not as "financially
attractive" as having it in Europe. Australian officials
have been repeatedly reminded revenue from
broadcasting and sponsorship would be far more
lucrative were it was held in a country such as
France.
To impress major Northern Hemisphere sponsors and
broadcasters, Australia and New Zealand
have decided to delay kick-off times at the 2003
World Cup until 7.30-8pm so that they are
being played near lunchtime in the Northern
Hemisphere.
According to officials who witnessed meetings
between Pugh and O'Neill during the recent
three-Test series between the Lions and Australia,
the tension was palpable.
Frustrated by O'Neill's refusal to accept the
traditional profit- sharing formula, Pugh is
understood to have instructed the IRB's marketing
company, IMG, to plan to shift the
tournament to Paris.
Sources close to Pugh say his strategy is to advance
his Paris plans via IMG without informing
O'Neill.
IMG is in an invidious position, representing the
IRB from its London office and representing the
ARU from Australia.
IMG Australia has held the ARU's marketing
arrangements for seven years and is contracted
past 2003. Managing director Martin Jolly refused to
comment.
When the Herald contacted O'Neill last night over
the proposal to move the tournament to
France, he replied: "I would be astonished if that
is the case. Recent meetings held with RWC
and IRB have been very positive and constructive."
Australia's bargaining position on the IRB has been
undermined by Northern Hemisphere
perceptions that O'Neill is intransigent.
Furthermore, the non-attendance of former ARU
chairman and IRB delegate David Clarke to
the meetings in London is believed to have
strengthened the anti-Australia push.
Clarke resigned both positions following trenchant
criticism during meetings held in conjunction
with May's Super 12 final in Canberra, where his
opponents claimed he should have better
monitored and represented Australia's World Cup
interests.
World Cups in rugby union are a very lucrative
business.
The 1999 rugby World Cup, won by Australia, enjoyed
a cumulative TV audience of three
billion viewers and yielded the IRB over £100m
($278m).
Earlier this year, O'Neill told the Herald the '99
tournament produced £47m ($131m) net profit,
with the five host unions sharing £22m ($61m).
O'Neill admitted he was lobbying for an
improved share.
It is understood Pugh, a barrister and
representative on the IRB from Wales, was recently
re-elected chairman with support from the SANZAR
nations. Australia and New Zealand
expected Pugh to assign them lucrative 2003
marketing rights following his reappointment.
One insider says: "Now Pugh is saying, OK, I've
given you the rights but you have to pay for
them."
Another critical factor is the personal friction
between O'Neill and Pugh. The latest public clash
between the pair occurred just before the Lions Test
in Melbourne, when Pugh astounded a
gathering of international journalists by announcing
a Northern Hemisphere versus Southern
Hemisphere match would be played from next year.
O'Neill was sitting on Pugh's right at the top table
at the press conference and was visibly
surprised by the IRB chairman's unexpected
announcement.
O'Neill had not been told that Pugh would make this
announcement, especially as discussions on
a north-south match were only at a preliminary
stage. Immediately afterwards, O'Neill said the
north-south match was doubtful, as it was unlikely
to get the support of SANZAR.
A week later, a SANZAR board meeting announced its
opposition to the north-south match. A
big win for O'Neill, but Pugh naturally did not take
kindly to a very public slap in the face.
Pugh flew to Moscow last week in to celebrate the
end of the reign of International Olympic
Committee president, Juan Antonio Samaranch.
Pugh has been lobbying the IOC to include rugby
union on its program and is indebted to French
rugby officials for his close links with Samaranch.
