Well thanks for that. I've just reached the Louis Hamilton bit and was having a check up on you lot during a bit where my interest was waning and hey!!, the suspense has gone. Would have watched live but we had a friend visiting we have just been 'friends reunited' with.
But can we have a big cheer for how well the event looks at the Echo Arena in Liverpool - I tried for tickets but missed out. Love the big slope, great for bikes but really bad for huuuuge heels (worn by my favourite to win).NellComment

And WHAT'S WITH THE CHEWING. Where does it say you have to be chewing gum in a big, open mouthed way. Come on HayWayne - you're the noisy eater hater.
It's a bad look, nowhere in the 'how to good look on telly' handbook does it say 'imitate the actions of a cow'.
I know it's only a few of the sportsmen/women - but it really makes me ill.
And breathe

Why was it MY fault???Originally posted by nelliegemini View PostWell thanks for that.
Anyway - surely if tattieman knew who was going to win he could have posted this yesterday and saved us all the bother of waiting in - with no tv/radio on - for 2 1/2 hours for our other halves to come home from taking their daughter swimming and spending the rest of the evening together.
Or he could just have called it SPOTY 08 and left it for us to make our minds up whether to open the thread or not.Last edited by zazen999; 15-12-2008, 12:24 AM.

Oh Lordy, sorry. I quoted the wrong quote, well actually I was clumsily trying to imply I agreed with your quote. It soooo wasn't your fault, or anyones fault. I understand tattieman's enthusiasm, but would have preferred it if the title hadn't included the result. I watched the rest of the programme without mentioning it to OH (memories of a Likely Lads programme for those old enough). So, sorry zazen999, didn't mean to cast aspersions. And well done Chris Hoy!Last edited by nelliegemini; 15-12-2008, 12:39 AM.NellComment

absolutely delighted that Chris Hoy won it. I met him about 10 years ago at the track in Edinburgh and he was lovely. He and his pals have done so much for British cycling this last few years...10 years ago you would never have seen it on the telly. So, well done Chris Hoy.Comment

Well, I thought it would be Lewis ... so pleased that Chris Hoy got it. The whole cycling team did really well.
Fingers crossed that cycling becomes more acceptable in this country now
