2013 Liggett and Sherwin'isms

Do you think we'll have another thread like this next year or can we live in hope?

Has anyone noticed that Ligget has demoted Lance Armstrong? For years, it was Mr Armstrong but now just Armstrong.
I cannot remember the commentator nor circumstances but the phrase 'It's curtains for Karpets' has stuck in my memory.
Many years ago, helicopter shot of an aqueduct with 3 man standing on the parapet, Duffield implored one of them to jump and one of them did! Duffield's reaction was a classic. Fortunately the men were bungee jumping.

ITV could save some money just having the others commentate as well as do the analysis/introduction.

Seriously, is anyone good at maths? (I'm crap) Just wondering what the odds are against Cav getting five in row are? They must be really, really enormous, even without taking into consideration Kittel's and Greipel's great form, and the fact that their trains are functioning better than Quickstep's.

 

[Noodley]

Best odds at present according to oddschecker:

Cavendish 10/11
Kittel 3/1
Greipel 5/1

Apparently this year is the first Cav has won less than 5 stages.

2008 and 2012 didn't happen then? Swapped to Eurosport then realised it has Sean Kelly.

"I'd forgotten about this until I remembered"

No fuggin s***!...

I was just about to type that one up.

It was closely followed by "....Marcel Kettel has a superb lead out man in the form of Tom Veelers........who is out of the race now......"

"We're looking at a picture of the sun about to go down..."

Phil - "Paris, where the Tour de France has always ended".

I think, but only very occasionally that is, Cos I don't really give a toss, that we should rid the world of the boring beyond words, Paul Sherwin spelt wrong ? who really gives a fark what his name is.
