I'm not defending the Rooney's and I'm not saying people can't read mind-numbing drivel like Jones' article if they want.

They're hardly going to be carrying on like love's young dream, are they? Anyway, as far as I'm aware Wayne has never been famed for his lively conversation.<br /><br />Wouldn't it be nice if these two young people - who are generally unremarkable, after all, were it not for Wayne's day job - could just be, y'know, left alone for a while?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
