    Seriously, I was pleased for Skelton on behalf of us oldies, Brownlee for his humanity and Murray because of his sporting achievements.

    Quietly enjoying certain Leave supporters getting upset at the "wrong" result, as voted by the public.

    Yeah, I think they should do it all again until a real sporting personality wins it

    Show Jumping ain't a popular sport among the townie liberals at the Beeb, I know that

    That's what confuses me about his reluctance to smile, he does know he's not English doesn't he?

    Like I must have told you before Dave, there are 2 types of people on this planet, the English and the people who wanna be English...

    A decent and correct top 3. A bit disappointing of Bale to not even film a clip for the show though

    So what about the English that admit they are happier living outside of England away from the English?

    I find it hard to believe that so many people voted for a show jumper.

    EDIT: Just noticed that Skelton got twice the votes that Mo got.

    Traditions like 5 time Olympic event, triathlon or 14 time Olympic event, show jumping; as opposed to 15 time Olympic event, tennis you mean PH?

    What's that saying about when you're in a hole? :wink:

    Wimbledon is only well known though because its shown by the biggest terrestrial company available.

    The World Triathlon Series is also shown by the BBC but only online so is there if you wanted to see it... From the crowds that go to watch in the various Cities it gets more fans than the Diamond Track Meetings you also see on BBC2 etc.
