Hands off Stevo!

Each season many rugby fans become very abusive re Eddie Hemmings' side kick Mike 'Stevo' Stephenson. I think people underestimate the hard work and skill it takes to be the side kick of Britain's best sport commentator.


I have been asked if my mole could find out what Stevo does for Sky. Why people should think that a small dark facial spot (melanocytic nevus) would have such information is beyond me. Maybe it is a dig at the preponderance of moles that I have. Indeed if you 'join the moles' you end up with a passable drawing of Paul Cullen.


I was sent a brief description that purports to be Stevo's matchday responsibilities. they include:


1. Rise 5am and iron EH clothing including socks and 'lucky Y fronts'


2. Prepare breakfast for EH - inc kippers and Earl Grey tea


3. Give EH an Ayurvedic massage


4. Help EH to complete the Times crossword - provide sharp pencils


5. Stock up with crisps / scotch eggs / sherbert fountains for the game


6. Make EH laugh during game by saying silly things


7. Run EH's post match bath add Jo Malone nutmeg and ginger bath oil


8. While bathing provide EH with Perrier Jouet's Belle Epoque champagne


9. Make sure a bag of pork scratchings is available for 'bath snacks'


All this and more for the National minimum wage! Give the guy a break!!
