It goes against everything the corporation is supposed to be doing.“Tim is more than a little awkward on air, which makes the €16,000 per day even more ­astonishing.”John O’Connell of the UK’s TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “This is a huge amount for a fortnight’s work. Ordinary families will foot the bill.”Henman’s spokesman was unavailable yesterday and the BBC said: “We never comment on talent pay.”http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/2011/05/16/bbc-faces-angry-backlash-after-tim-henman-s-200-000-fee-for-two-weeks-work-is-exposed-115875-23133356/Fascinantno je da se BBC koji zatvara redakcije uprkos prihodima od oko 4 milijarde funti po ovom pitanju ponaša kao pijani bogataš. Ovaj će više da zaradi kao komentator nego što je u proseku zarađivao na turnirima.

Ovo je valjda pravi topik :DAko nekog zanima, slike od danas. Na trgu u Melbournu je bila promocija AO i Kooyong Classic. Bilo je svih 8 ucesnika ovog drugog - izmedju ostalih Rodik koji pokusava da bude duhovit, Monfils koji je uglavnom bio nesto smoren i u fazonu "kako se odlazi odavde?" i Conga koji je car i koji je jos i pikao lopticu sa klincima posle konferencije. Za Raonica i Tomica (koji je vrlo popularan ovde) se videlo da im je cela ta halabuka relativno nova, iako Tomic rece za sebe da je vrlo relaxed i da uopste ne oseca taj neki pressure (posto se valjda Sam S. zalila na pritisak javnosti i ocekivanja, nakon kiksa u Sidneju).
