Same meat . . different gravy


With supreme irony the Gray - Keys road show, tail between its collective legs, heads out of London and appears to be heading for Doha and the Qatar based Aljazeera Sports channel. Fill your boots lads, no fear of any anti sexism voices being heard out there.

It seems what was said by Gray and Keys was merely boys banter perfectly acceptable in the worlds inhabited by Jeremy Clarkson and Bruce Forsyth who offered, respectively, the following opinions, "we need to be more tolerant" and "you say these things for a laugh to relax". In a similar vein it was hardly surprising when wifey sprung to the defence of Keys - and how !
 
The kind of destructive & humiliating obscenities, which seemingly slip from the lips of her husband with ease, were according to her, "playful shenanigans" which are needed, apparently, to reduce tensions in the Sky Sports studio.

What is now known in acute celebrity embarrassment circumstances, as the Ron Atkinson defence ("I've got lots of black friends") was then dutifully trotted out by one of Keys' sisters. "He's got three sisters and a daughter and has the greatest respect for women" she pleaded.

Imagine the scene at the Keys' Christmas lunch table where relationships are a little strained. Good old Richard calls upon his trusty tension reducing skills . .

"So which one of my lovely sisters, for whom I have the utmost respect, has been smashed (sic) lately then?"

"Sprouts anyone ?" 

And relax  . . . . . . . . . . .
