Modern life is rubbish - example 4,317

I was hoping that tomorrow's Daily Post might feature a great big picture of the Welsh rugby squad to stick on your wall as you get ready for the big match against Ireland this Sunday.
I know the picture has been taken, that we have made the space in the paper for it and that the Welsh team's sponsors Brains beer are very excited at the prospect of seeing the team (and their logo) in the paper.
The trouble is that the photographer won't give us the picture unless the Welsh Rugby Union gives permission. And we can't find anyone from the Welsh Rugby Union's press office or corporate affairs department to talk to. They won't return our calls and all we can get from the HQ of Welsh rugby is an answering machine. We are running out of time and will have to decide very soon to reorganise the paper once again (which is quite a difficult thing to do).
We've been asking for this picture for four weeks. Why are some people so bloody unhelpful these days?
I love sport and I must say that, having made a home here in Wales, the men in Red have won this Englishman's heart. But the people who run rugby sometimes drive me up the wall.
