Only just caught up with Ralph's mail below (combination of computer problems and internet connection, still ongoing) but you didn't have to be in NZ to listen to it as it's a BBC World Service programme (as said - I guess Radio New Zealand take a feed from the WS at certain times). It was an interesting, as well as worrying, programme, especially for anyone interested in the wider aspects of the noble game, or should that be the not-so-noble game, and is still available to listen to. You can catch it online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006x9v0 (Assignment: The Art of Match-Fixing) or download the podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/docarchive/ Yesterday's (Tuesday 6th) edition of Business Daily on the WS also touched on the subject with on-line betting. Again, listen to it online: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/business_daily.shtml or download the podcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/bizdaily guy _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
