I know it makes me a terrible person but do have some sympathy with what grecIAN Harris is saying re: football commentators. There is a particular kind of shouty female "OH MY GOD I'M A FOOTBALL COMMENTATOR" voice that is a bit "nails on a blackboard" for me.

I like the cricket commentators though. Ali Mitchell is a star and would love her to take over from Aggers as and when he goes. And Jonathan Pearce was hard work during the WWC.
Exactly what I'm on about. It's a bit like boys trying to do it before their balls have dropped. It just turns over excited high pitch squeal and whatever decent verbal comment that might be there is lost.

Doesn't make them bad commentator's though. You just need to ask Mariella Frostrup to start commentating 🙂

It does when whatever they have said is lost.

Time that SNP bloke Ian Blackford received a well-aimed pie.

Eddie Izzard.

He might already have been suggested but if so he deserves another dose.
