Fûckssake! BTSport are using a woman to head up their commentary team for The Ashes.

He ended up better than the chap who played Dodger on film, then.

What happened to him?

Harvey Weinsteins favourite songs imo

I shouldn't wonder, P. I shouldn't wonder at all. Bright, cheerful stuff.

Oh I quite agree. I heard a woman commentating on a football match once. It was excruciating.

I must, however, point a little something out to you wholly in a spirit, you understand, of fraternal love. If I ever see or hear you use the phrase 'it speaks to' again, I will pay to have you assassinated in the most painful way available.

I am shocked and saddened by what I have seen here.

I think in this instance and context that usage is acceptable, actually.

You see, no woman would ever unbidden have picked up a rock and a stick and wondered how far they could hit one with the other. Neither would it occur to them to kick a static object into a given space. It's not in their nature. Given which, how can they possibly be accepted as authorities on such matters?

I'm going to have to tell v about this, I'm afraid.

I agree up to a point... but in their defence I give you Michael Owen, Robbie Savage and Chris Sutton

The fact that there are incompetent men does not magically render women competent.

But they could argue that having played the game and still being rubbish commentators means that you can't discount someone just because they haven't played the game at a certain level or their gender...

basically you are a sexist pig and deserve flogging

Apparently, he was a heavy smoker and alcoholic by the age of 12. Impressive work by anyone's standards, I'd say.
