The Olympics Page 94

There's a sort on Radio 5 Live Drive Live Drive who commentates on the football.

Just doesn't sound right.

Mountain biking uphill looks horrible. But the downhill bits look jolly fun.

In the Winter Olympics the downhillers should have to ski up it first like the mountain bikers do on their bikes.

"said he speaking from the summit of another page of posts Angry "

Sorry OR
Top of the page again.
I can't be bothered to scroll back to see what your comments pertain to.

I'm thinking I might be pretty good at this diving lark.

Why do women have to instantly suspect he's having a go at the female gender?

Lol, women AND men have suspected that mainly due to the words he used...

"I have come to the conclusion that while female presenters have done a fine job, the female voice is not so attractive for actual commentating and in some cases became grating."

But you carry on seeing what you want to see, Alfred. ;)

Heh, quite right.

Hmm, I still don't see any malice behind it, Des is one of the nicest blokes in telly apparently, not given to personal attacks on Twitter or anything. I think he may have had a bit of nastiness from some for his smoothie ladies man persona that a few wimmin willfully mistook for real, could it be a gentle payback for that, maybe? I still don't see it, I think he just doesn't like female voice commentaries that much, and they are quite new still.

So it seems that, in the end, that Tom Daley actually did rather well.

I did enjoy hearing Barry Davies commentating on the Hockey.

It might be new for football. It's not new for sports in general.

Yep! Nice to see him genuinely happy to get bronze. The Chinese bloke who got silver looked like his dog had just been run over.

Hopefully it means we'll see him on TV even more, and RC will have a rage fit, running through the streets with his top off, punching bus stops.

On the plus side, at least tomorrow's breakfast is sorted.

Ha, I suspected someone would go there!

Congrats to Daly. I'm guilty of dismissing him as an overhyped shaven-chested tit.

You would have been before, but they would have had to refill the pool after each of your dives.

I quoted the quote, but I changed my mind.
If it had been Korea on the other hand I may have gone there.
