Commentators ????

Unread post by petercaughlin »

The Old Sage once said" better to be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubts about it"
Standing at the end of Sulby Straight by the bridge as I have for many years to watch the first sidecar race
over the radio came the following "Tim Reeves has just gone through with all 3 wheels on the ground" :o
10 minutes later another gem, "things are hotting up the brakes on the sidecar wheels are working" :roll:

Is it me, It must be,please send help.

'And if I'm not very much mistaken' Peter, you have found some gems there :lol:
It is true about the sidecar family - you can stop racing but you can never, ever leave!

Was it Gary Bryan who was reported to be 'going very fast but steadily' ? :lol:
Seriously though, it's a very difficult job to do well. I reckon they do very well on Manx Radio, and I don't mind the odd funny gaffe.
So how long have I had these voices in my head, I hear you ask?
