Which would you like more? £1 million, or the chance to knee the long-haired Virgin Atlantic owner in the family jewels? If you’re the boss of British Airways, it’s quite clearly the latter.
There’s been a bit of a spat going on in the aviation world over the past few days. First, the head of British Airways, Willie Walsh (am I the only one who thinks Willie Wonka every time I hear his name?), claimed Virgin Atlantic would vanish in a few years. Then, Branson offered BA a £1 million bet (to be paid to the staff of the respective airline — so Branson would be paying £1 million to be spread among all the BA staff) that he’d still be alive and kicking in a few years. The irrepressible Mr Walsh replied that just taking £1 million from Branson wouldn’t hurt him — but what would is administering a healthy kick to the nuts, or as he put it “a knee in the groin”.
Richard, please, please accept this bet. Though I’d quite like to see the pain on your face if you had to pay out £1 million to BA’s staff (and maybe your staff would stop going on strike all the time), there’s honestly nothing I’d like to see more than either of the airline bosses getting kneed in the balls. The only way it could get any better would be if it then degraded into a cagefight/rap battle between the two. [Guardian]

From a sample of two, it seems that in order to run a major airline your name has to be an penis euphemism!
Maybe this is a way to resolve all those patent disputes, CEO Cagefighting.
Or a desperate way to raise capital. I’d buy tickets to go see it!
You thinking of a RIM v Nokia Deathmatch?
“Last Man Standing — Literally!”
I’d make my own company called SuckIt enterprises, patent the idea of the patent and then claim every company and person who ever had a patent is infringing on my patent, then instead of going to court I’d opt for the cage fight.
Of course at the last minute I would replace myself as CEO with a bear, let’s see Cook win this patent battle!
Given that your big idea is to patent the idea of patents I think the bear would be a better CEO than you in the boardroom as well as the cage.
haha excellent, please can I come work at SuckIt, as I imagine the board meetings to be hilarious, and something like this

yes,but who does’nt ?
could be a good charity raiser for the pair of pratts.
televised scrotum kicking contest would raise loads from the bookies alone.
and if opened upto the public to bid on an oppurtunity to kick either or both would be very popular,not least,with their employees.
me,i’d go for walsh cos he has buggered couple of friends jobs.
but which would you go for?
sounds like time for a poll,giz.
When people truly realise Branson is helping privatise the NHS while making a fortune doing it I think quite a lot more people would like to see him kicked in the balls.
