Reading todays Sunday Sport, I noticed an exclusive report into the stars who performed for Joan Bakewell on tuesday night. They did a lot of research into the background of Rebekah by lifting all her details literally word for word from Woodgnomes website, with no credit whatsoever.

aaarrgh!! :-((

thanx for the info (you found it on a bus seat no doubt!)

have to go to the newsagents and see if they've still got a copy, i suppose. was it stuff from the bio page, q&a page - or both?

maybe i should lodge an objection with the 'press complaints commission'. i can see the headline now - "SPORT DOES THE DIRTY ON DIRTY GIRL WEBSITE!"

or i could always send 'em an email welcoming a financial contribution to the upkeep of the site.

what do you reckon my chances are?

I don't think you'll stand much of a chance with any further action.
