I've enjoyed it so far. All good. Motorized wheelchair!!
The stupid, gushing voiceovers during the Halfords adverts were grating on me by Sunday.
'Heads of State' is a lame one that Paul dishes up on a regular basis.
[i]Here's the leading group on the climb - no surprise to see the Heads of State all present, turning the pedals in anger as they contest this crucial stage of the Tour de France bicycle race.[/i]
But brought up in Kenya and lives in Uganda.
What have facts got to do with anything?!!
I met Phil Liggett in South Africa. He has a baboon problem.
I love it when a rider powers off up a mountain, usually the day after blowing out on a big climb, and they say something like "How does he do it?". Inevitably within 2 days the answer will be, "drugs".
Scaphoid
And we have of course forgotten the most common thing Paul says, which is...
A repetition of whatever Phil has just said. Now that is annoying. "Annoying, indeed.."
And I'm missing the "All kinds of trouble" too, but I haven't watched yesterday's show yet.
All these quotes are going to make TdF bingo fun tonight. I'll probably miss all the racing by paying too much attention to the commentary listening for the next weird analogy.
"What have facts got to do with anything?!!"
Good point.
When you used to see him stood talking into a mike phil liggett hands looked huge, like a bunch of bananas. Hence we nicknamed him banana hands.
I also enjoy seeing them sitting so uncomfortably close to each other in their little booth answering made-up viewers emails that when they turn to look at each other their noses almost touch. Feel the chemistry.
Paul uses "and you know" for punctuation. Always enjoyed Gary Imlach's dry, arch delivery though.

He beat Sean Kelly.
