Arse Cup

So really what he got wrong was "disappearing off the face of the earth" when in truth they had spread themselves over a larger than average part of it.
 
Priceless..............just watching Get On!! (sad isn't it?)..........and our friend, the Orange One, read out an e-mail........." Matt, as someone in the television business (Chapman.....oh! I'm not sure of that )............I wonder if you can help? Can you recommend a good television repair man?" Chapman (not American is he?) then asked if anyone could recommend anyone in the area where this fella lived.............Knavesmire is it??

Nick Luck might have been on something yesterday, wanted us to believe that a horse called The Gangerman should be called The Ganga Man?!?! :what:
 
By my count (and I was counting) his arseness mispronounced Augherskea (pronounced Ocher-Skay) in no less than 5 different ways before that horse ran yesterday. He then listened to Des Scahill pronounce it correctly circa 25 times in running and proceeded to pronounce it incorrectly in a 6th different way straight afterwards. Why???? :angy: :angy:
 
Ah, yer man Dessie is a law unto himself. He does that quite a bit, viz. 'Some Timberling' (!) but has NO problem with O'Muira... O'Muireahurteagh... O'Mewrahertig... :blink:
 
Was that Chaparse asking Paul Stafford about 'setting fractions' on Blueberry Boy? It sounded like it was met with an awkward silence.
 
It was the 9.00 at Wolves I think Colin where the short priced fav Luna Tacamuna drifted badly in the betting but his supposed lesser fancied stablemate Compton Eclipse was well backed.
Doesn't take a genius to work out which one won.
However unbeknown to Chaparse (who was presenting Stateside at the time) there had also been a late jockey change with Eddie Ahern replacing Tony Culhane (who apparently couldn't do the weight).
Chaparse wasn't happy about this either.
 
Just going back to the microphone under nose area of this thread, I found a bit at the end of video tape of Jair Du Cochet winning at Cheltenham in 2001. It was wonderful, because apart from the actual race and watching a beautiful horse again, there was no Hooray down at the start, no one waiting to bounce as they pulled up, or on the horse walk in or even in the paddock. It was blissful to just watch the horse and connections enjoy the moments with the crowd the only other participants.
 
'Top shelf' Tommo distinguishes himself. Stellar performance, which is why the man will never be surpassed
 
Indeed PDJ, but its just that kind of spontane arse comment which means all the others are out of the handicap
 
The most legendary piece of arseness that Tommo has ever achieved was probably a few years back at Chester's May meeting when he was given the task of interviewing attractive young women (for some reason he chose to pounce them outside the ladies loo) but anyone who witnessed this 5 minute episode of arse endurance, it would be clear that Del Boy has an eye for a young girl!!! Suffice to say when Nicky pointed her out (I forget her name), you could almost hear Tommo exclaim 'bloody hell' as he clapped eyes on her and immediately went into Terry Thomas mode. The poor girl had no chance once Tommo moved in, her fate was sealed, the outcome inevitable!!! It was classic Tommo, who else could have spotted the link to 'Rustler' and twisted the conversation around in a matter of 30 secs, to enquire whether she was named after a porno mag?

Mind you he's on form today. His trailer for Johnny Murtagh before going to the break

"and here he is on Sindaar winning the millenium Derby (cut to finish) and a very emotional jockey he is receiving the winners award from Her Majesty the Queen Mother (cut to presentation) will he be doing the same at Cheltenham in March I wonder?" :confused:

Bloody well hope not Tommo

And interviewing Peter Orton;

"Bob the Builder, Barney the Dinosaur, great programmes we all grew up with?" now I'm 38, and both of these programme post date my childhood. I'm concerned about Tommo
 
Couldn't help but laugh after I got in this afternoon to turn on the tv just after the RP chase and he thrusts his mic under AP's nose and goes "so is this your national mount this year?"

You could see that moment when AP thought 'what!?'...never mind the little matter of the National fav on a decent weight...
