Poor old Ant or Dec

[vetran]

Jeez, there are some crap footballers earning more than that, how does the poor bugger manage?

He took to drink, its cheaper than shagging grannies like Wayne or your team mates' wives!

The one who is left is Dec (who has an OBE..)

Because he's massively popular with the public - so TV companies want him on their shows so that they can drive people towards their channel. Apparently that's worth ~130k a week!

Slightly less sarcastically, he fronts several of the most popular programmes for ITV.

And have won "best presenters" for something like the last 15 years on the bounce. If anyone is 'worth' these kind of earnings for that kind of work, they are.

FTFY

He'll be back, almost guaranteed. Still plenty of public support and sympathy for him.

The problem is that when both of them were around you always knew which one was which. Ant stood on one side and Dec stood on the other. Always the same - Ant (or was it Dec) was on the left and Dec (or was it Ant) was on the right. Now there's only one of them, it's hard to know. Is he Ant or is he Dec?

It's almost a Schrodinger-esque experiment for those concerned about animal cruelty.
Imagine you have two identical cats, where the only way you can tell them apart is based on where they stand relative to each other. If, at random, one of the cats is removed, how can you be certain which cat you're left with. In a sense you don't have any cats, because one only exists relative to the other. If the other one doesn't exist, the first one can't. Cattus Ergo Sum

Easy - Ant is the taller one.

It's half a weeks wage now for a fine, apparently he earns 130k a week, seemingly net, so my question is, why?

And he was driving a mini

The Times reviewer said that Ant or Dec did quite well hosting their show on his own. He was able to stand in the centre of the stage, and finish off his own sentences.

£86,000? That's about £85,000 more than most drunk drivers get fined. Is it because he's a Geordie?
