Anything Richie endorses is generally ok

(not tried any of his 'Hobart Muddy' or 'Nuits St Wagga-Wagga' wines yet though)

I have it, and generally, it`s pretty crap. Good to see some footage of the older players, but there are plenty of DVDs with that.

Is it exactly the same thing that they showed on TV here in Aus some time ago? With the dreaded Mark Nicholas talking to Richie and stuff?

Nnanden · 14-11-2005, 02:57 AM

Yes sir.

Jono · 14-11-2005, 04:21 AM

I don't think I could buy a DVD with Mark Nicholas on it. Even if Richie was talking about past greats.

He might have even endorsed the Joe Schmo show at one stage...

Ever heard of a 'grey area' Natman?

I liked that show, it was funny

The guy that used to go on most about that show was Mark Taylor. He'd always be on commentary when they had to advertise that show.

Just like how Bill Lawry was always conveniently in the commentary box for the drinks break during the Super Series to give Melbourne a spruik...
