Yeah, but Dave is contracted and therefore doesn't get paid holidays or paternity leave, so it was his choice to broadcast from home so he could still get paid. I assume Dom is employed directly by the BBC.

Annual leave and paternity leave are two different things. Why on earth should Dom - or anyone else - give up the right to their paternity leave simply because they are also allowed to have annual leave? He can take paternity leave at any time within a three month (I think - haven't checked) period of the birth of the baby. Even if the baby is born while he is on annual leave.

I can sort of see where bradcali's coming from (who'd have thought it!) but for a different reason which is that didn't Dom say at some point she had 2 weeks to go at Big Weekend? Therefore the 2 week break would be more well timed rather than instead of paternity.

Basically I can't see that he'll be back after their break, but you never know!

But what he was implying was that because he is already on annual leave that should remove his entitlement to paternity leave, which is plainly wrong.

Bring back Carolyn Atkinson. She was ace. I wonder what she's doing now...

And while you're doing that, Mr Bossman, sack Carrie. Her wage, when Dom would be able to read the sports news more than adequately necessary, is almost as bad as 'Inside Sport' sending a production team out to the US to record an Agassi/Graff interview, ten days before the pair came over here for a tennis match. Unbe-expenses-claiming-lievable.

When he does bulletins in Jo's show Dom reads the sport anyway. I have nothing against Carrie, but I have to admit that I have often wondered who came up with the idea that the breakfast show needs two people for that job.

The most important and most listened to shows have a sport reader. It is much better to have a sport journalist reading the sport and comprising the bullitens than Dom who's sport knowledge is limited. Saying that so is his weather but that doesn't seem to stop him.

Time to get off the expenses bandwagon and start thinking for yourself. Or do you genuinely believe she is solely employed to read the sport on the Chris Moyles Show?

I think its important to have a BBC Sport person compiling the bulletin, but any old trained monkey can read them to be fair. That said, I would miss Carrie were they to change the format, so I don't want them to.

So if you're going to employ someone from BBC Sport to compirse the bulliten why not employ someone who can do that and read it. This way they can write it for their own personal style, Chappers is a great example of this. His bulletins are great to listen to as they are often quie humourous.

It has always made me wonder why Carrie never appears on other Newsbeat shows though. I've heard her once on the 12.45am Newsbeat and once on Five Live. Has she done any more to anyone's memory? She did used to get the live womens games as a reporter though when the BBC had them and also does occasional Final Score match reports.

Well I can think of several reasons - the most pertinent on more than one level being that it would be a lot cheaper.

After decoding your post....It would be interesting, not neccissarily funny. Perhaps funny for the first few days and would then would wear thin after a few days.

To be fair to in4308, he / she is not a regular offender, it could have just been a typo. Although the 'i' is quite a long way from the 'e', but still... not a regular offender.

Are you saying Google gave you a wrong spelling? Because no one is going to believe that.

Did you also google "damn"?

Well, it depends what he / she Googled. If he / she (I want to say 'she', but I don't know why) typed 'neccissarily' into Google and it's been spelt that way lots of times by other people, then it could conceivably throw up results without suggesting a correction. If she (I'm going with it) typed in 'define: neccissarily', then it would tell her it can't find the word and she'd have to improve the spelling.

See I automatically assumed "he". I think that says something about both you and me.......
