David and Goliath
This morning on the programme we spoke to Britain's heavyweight boxing hope Dave Haye. A nicer bloke you couldn't hope to meet, so we on the Breakfast team have all got a bit concerned about him, after seeing the pictures of the man he'll fight next week. David takes on Nikolay Valuev for the WBA belt in Nuremburg on November the 7th. And if you think the picture makes David look small, we should remind you that he's actually 6'3" tall! (Valuev clocks in at 7'2").

5LNPI: Should schools teach young children about domestic violence?
10:00 Wed, 25 Nov 09
Should schools teach children as young as five about domestic violence? The Government thinks so. They are launching a new campaign that'll see lessons on equality and domestic violence added to the curriculum from 2011. But critics argue it could harm children's education. Here's what you had to say.

Absolute finger on the pulse by Radio Five Dive. On a day when it seems likely that our Gorgon is envisaging closing hundreds of polling stations in time for next years visit by the proletariat, we on the voice of the nation are asked about the fortunes of two really tall men.
Shame the pair cannot fight in the front room at No:10

There is the boxer who is unwisely rude about his opponents - allegedly. I would NEVER do that. lol I jest of course. May the best man win.
Geoff Boycott on the late footballer George Best - He was so good he was unbelievable! I took that statement in an odd way, Geoffrey. But Best was absolutely brilliant and you saw that with your own eyes. I was never that lucky so could hardly comment. But he - Best won the ball - he tended not to play the man. There is a lesson in that for all of us. I must be kinder to people.
Unbelievable eh, Geoffrey? lol
Next July? No way, Jose! No way I could use just those two words. I went to High Society for a leg up!
Subject: we collide with Mars - where the entries would bambozzle even terry wogan

There was a blatant giggle about an attempt to break a record on the number of people dancing and singing the Rocky Horror Picture Show's "Time Warp". Lady on BBC News Channel didn't follow Richard O'Briens' insistance "I've got to keep control". And it was only when said lady mentioned FiveLive I realised who said giggler was. She does TV now? Wow! Her co presenter - male and stoic if you ask me - tried to restore the norm of BBC TV News but I suppose words like "pelvic thrust" would try even the most sober of personages. I will not identify the lady to spare her blushes but it was odd - I had viewed the video on the Internet that very morning - now I know why it was front and centre. Does my "its just a jump to the left" as I watched the VT count towards the attempt to break said record? Now don't laugh!

Ah. here it is. The Hayes Code! Alas Smith And Jones - Alias Smith and Jones - Hannibal Hayes (the late Peter Duel) and Kid Curry sort of. A Butch Cassiday And the Sundance Kid TV rip off - allegedy.
Me being Curry in all modesty - the fastest gun in the.......
I thought about this because of success I hear overnight for David Haye. A nicer bloke etc....?Well done - I am pleased with his success but thought I hope that it doesn't mean a repeat of what I consider unwise behaviour I have criticised in the past. By said Mr Hayes (on whoevers advice) or future sportspersons. I will frown else.
Remember the Hays Code? An "E" Missing (apt no?) And an added "S" so a bit of a stretch but it was the Motion Picture Code of Censorship back in the day. "Flying Down to Rio" "Birth of a Nation" etc were before it so - whew! After The Hays Code - foot on bedroom floor require in scenes involving couples not legally spliced etc. My future Haye's Code would mean respect for all opponents before during and after fights contests matches whatever.
Yes I know. Do as I say and not as I do but.... Haye!lol
