Bedtime with Sue and Andy
There's nothing worse of a Sunday morning when you wake up a little worse for
wear after a wee Pimms and Robinson's Barley Water too many and you're
confronted by something frightening looking at you.

Enjoy the silence, because this will be the last of it. Never a truer word

Billy on the Box: It escapes me
Wednesday, 23 December 2009
Picture the scene. Michael Phelps being held down on a camp bed, Clare Balding
straddling him, Andy Jameson and Adrian Moorhouse breaking an arm each as
Sharron Davies covers his face with two massive pillows (or at least I think
they were pillows).

Billy On The Box: Power fight
Wednesday, 9 December 2009
Hello, it's good to be back after my less than brief sabbatical where I've
been bed-ridden from the nose down with a huge dose of man swine flu and
quite a lot has happened in my absence.

had to check I hadn’t pressed the wrong button on the remote control.

Billy on the Box: Hayes has the X Factor
Wednesday, 11 November 2009
What about that then, the judges shocking the world by giving the verdict to
the underdog when everyone seemed to have thought it was a foregone
conclusion.

Billy on the Box: The hand of Gub
Wednesday, 4 November 2009
I have many guilty secrets — my love of green wine gums, Katherine Jenkins,
sheep, Wotsits, wearing two pairs of socks at all times, Tom Jones' Las
Vegas years and an unhealthy fascination with Dana.

Billy on the Box: Gym'll fix it
Wednesday, 21 October 2009
I speak to you from my hospital bed where teams of surgeons have been working
through the night with crow bars, axle grease and gritted teeth to try and
prise me out of my all-in-one leotard I bought especially for the World
Gymnastics Championships.

Billy on the Box: It's all a blur
Wednesday, 14 October 2009
Back on a lovely summer's day in 1996 I made my one and only visit to the RDS
in Dublin's Fair City, not for a sporting event, but to see Blur play, so 13
years on it was fitting that's what I was left in after Mark Robson's
Heineken Cup introduction on Sky on Friday evening.

Billy on the Box: Calzaghe's box trot
Wednesday, 7 October 2009
It's sad really to see a once great boxing champion being forced to shuffle
around a glitzy arena in a strange costume surrounded by has-beens or
wannabes desperate for fame.

Billy on the Box: Hughes was of the Mark
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
Everyone needs good neighbours but you get the feeling that Mark Hughes won't
be nipping around to Sir Alex's house to borrow a cup of vitriol and his
spare Casio any day soon.

Billy on the Box: Adebayor's got Togo
Wednesday, 16 September 2009
Sickening, stomach-turning, shameful and reprehensible. No, not Emmanuel
Adebayor's eventful day at Eastlands, Gary Lineker's introduction on Match
of the Day on Saturday night.

Billy on the Box: Lady GaGa
Wednesday, 9 September 2009
JESSICA Fletcher was, as usual, away for a weekend's break at some long-lost
cousin's house when disaster struck and someone was left sprawled in a heap
with blood lashing out of them and their toes pointing up to the ceiling.

Billy on the Box: Hair we all go
Wednesday, 2 September 2009
Okay, I don't mind that Real Madrid came wading in with a stuffed donkey, a
couple of cases of San Miguel and the Duty Free box-set to woo away
Cristiano Ronaldo but I draw the line at stealing Usain Bolt.

Billy on the Box: X and Y factor
Wednesday, 26 August 2009
Many of us thought that the immortal wise words of Shania Twain — ‘man, I feel
like a woman' were just some old country dirge. Little did we realise that

Billy on the Box: Friendly fire
Wednesday, 19 August 2009
What is the point of international friendlies — other than giving Matt Smith
something to do on ITV now that their sport consists of England games, RPM
and Paul Clarke’s Big Boy’s Tales of Tall Ships.

Billy on the Box: Set in stone
Wednesday, 12 August 2009
The Football League Show — the programme for the modern stone age soccer
family. Or should I say programmes as it appears to have become a refuge for
nomadic presenters and set designers.

Billy on the Box: Country Fest and Milk Cup

these shores coming to entertain large crowds of people in strange clothes
