This is how I rationalise it - I don't smoke, barely drink, no Sky, drive a 1.4...
Equals bat tokens! :)

Not having sky is just wrong.

At  £91 per month for a full sky package for internet, phone and sports, I don't agree!

BT vision is the answer - SS 1 & 2 so you get all the football and cricket and most of the rugby and darts plus ESPN for about 40% of the price of standard sports package direct through Sky

And to answer your question Buzz maybe on the forum we have the sense to buy bats in the off season to get them knocked in for April

Or maybe we are all just bat buying nutters!

Most big fights are on PPV anyway aren't they? I generally only watch cricket, rugby and football so it's ideal for me

I think there is a bit of both here, I also think there are some awesome bargains around.

I'm not just interested in big fights, and in any event there are relatively few PPV fights now - David Haye vs Fraudley Embarassin' killed that particular market stone dead...

I think that might be my problem too... :P I wasn't blessed with an alcohol tolerance, so I buy bats to make up for it. :D

I have poor alcohol tolerance and no money - I drink heavily and have 4 bats.

I am very stupid.
