2013 Liggett and Sherwin'isms

[Crackle]

Here on Itunes, it's really good.

I can't remember what I had for breakfast, let alone what someone told me a year ago

Ah, evil itunes, that's why I couldn't remember. I'll have to negotiate with a tetchy teenager now.

There is a non Itunes version as well - if you are Android then download Podkicker and get it from there - that's how I get mine. There is a link on the ITV4 Tour page to the non Itunes version but I'm just getting the document tree when I click that link.

I have no idea how they still leave it like that, with the document tree, but it still works. http://downloads.itv.com/podcasttdf.xml

Find the urls that are in blue and end in .mp3, copy and paste into a new tab and it will play!

What effing language are you all talking?
Estonan?

Every fecking time trial, every fecking year, they seem to think the finish line is several hundred yards closer and call a potential new fastest time...only for whoever it is to trundle home over 20 seconds slower. Dicks.

 

[The Couch]

...they are doing 59kph which is over 40mph...

... they seem to think the finish line is several hundred yards closer and call a potential new fastest time...

Yeah, but if they are doing over 40mph, they should be setting the fastest time

Ned Boulting (to David Millar): "so the race really starts tomorrow"
David Millar: "no Ned, it started on saturday"

Boulting admitted on Twitter he'd been done by Millar,
"Appropriately put away by @millarmind today. No complaints. The problem with Dave is, if you ask a silly question, you get a smart answer."

Do Liggett and Sherwen both think Geraint Thomas is French? Strange way to pronounce his name.

 

[youngoldbloke]

Phil ..... 'breaking wind for him just now' (so that he can get through)

 

[wakou]

"Geraint Thomas, who last year, forgot.... forgone...... forgave................... the TdF to concentrate on the Olympics"

I used to like shigget and Lerwin. Once they defined the tour for me. I sought out their voices when Channel 4 ditched Le Tour.

I look back on those naive days with the fondness and inaccurate fumbling that Boris brings to his replies but alas, alack, I am forever changed now.

This suggests (as I guessed) that this thread is indeed a measuring of cocks as much as it is anything else.

There was no Channel 4 when the TdF first drew my glance. I gleaned what I could from l'Equipe and Radio, despite my very workmanlike French in those days.

I am nobody's expert on this topic and am happy that someone might describe my views as 'inaccurate fumblings'. I enjoy these threads and learn from some of the views thrown out here, but I find the unhelpfully competitive and comparative geekery slightly undignified.

As in all things in life, anyone who professes to know or care more than I do is an incurable geek and anyone who knows or cares less is beyond my help.

For all the protestations, there are suggestions in the way that posts have been couched this and last year that there is (among some posters) a sort of chain-olied-geek-fury at the effrontery of ITV4 for employing these chaps.

I've just come in from the garden to catch the end of the stage on the telly. This was not an option twenty years ago and I revel in its possibility today. They could have one of those clockwork tin monkeys clattering cymbals together doing the commentary and I'd be happy - and the subtitles would tell me enough... Doubtless others would find cause to complain about that.... Pffffffffff....

Yours ever,

:troll:

"green ball....ball, cannonball...Cannondale..."

"green ball....ball, cannonball...Cannondale..."

Rock on Tommy (V)

 

[Chutzpah]

Ha, I also came on here to mention the "Cannonball" instead of Cannondale moment. About five seconds later he also said "Omega Pharma Quickstop"

And what the feck has that to do with cock-waving? I have already explained my position re them. They are a disgrace and have no place in modern cycling after their years of sucking up to Armstrong. If you don't like my views then too bad.
