here's another interesting letter no I didn't post it.

Now here's a nasty thought. If motorcyclists can be pillaged to pay for their accident-prone mode of transport, should rugby players and other high-risk sports be hit by a special levy via their organising bodies?

Excuse me while I duck for cover.

Oh and these ones as well.....

Do you think anyone will get a choice in the matter?
