Watching the NW 200 streaming and we have an apology from the commentators (or perhaps common taters' as it is Northern Ireland) for 'Anyone who might have heard a suggestion of a swear word'

OFFS   

What is broadcasting come too?

Even the Archbish of Canterbury swears, as when he was nicked for speeding the other day.

They are protecting the children.  As we know none of them have heard or used a f**& or s@ in their lives.

Bollocks innit.

I suppose you were apologising for this one -

 

"Most annoying slang words in UK ranked, with 'innit' coming out on top

A quarter of people in the UK ranked 'innit' as their most hated slang word."

At least he's not calling anyone bruv 🙄

Cricket commentary a few years ago. England v Sri Lanka. Stump mic picks up the F word, in an obviously South Asian accent after a catch is dropped.

 

Silence for a few seconds.

 

Mike Holding, deadpan: "You might have heard some French there. Sorry 'bout dat ..."

 

Sky's Sunday lunchtime coverage of Scottish Premiership football is a particularly good source of 'this sort of thing' - I think some of the more potty-mouthed spectators make a point of standing as close as possible to the pitchside microphones!

 

The problem the commentators have is that you are only supposed to hear 'this sort of thing' after the 9pm watershed.

Any word that contains a H which is dropped, in fact if you can't speak like Alvar Lidell the 'shut yer effin gob bruv' and use sign language. (oh we don't appear to have a single digit 'smilie' or whatever they are called)    

I agree with the footie on the box, a few years back the Sky commentator kept apologising for appalling language until he realised the mic in the studio with the pundits was live.

Anyway, never mind about corrupting kids if the news reports are anything to go by they're too busy in their bedrooms watching hardcore porn on their phones to be adversely affected by a few swear words heard over the microphones during 'Songs of Praise' as the reverend father, who has been imbibing the communion wine smacks himself over the head during a particularly invigored swing of the censer (thurible) splitting his lip and burning his bald pate in the process. 

And whilst on the topic of commentators I would like to inform those on MotoGP coverage on BT that when one of the 'best motorcycle racers on the planet' parts company with his multimillion pound state of the art machine, due to forgetting about the effects of gravity, and the said 'best rider in the world', from an altitude of 40 feet, as his helium filled exploding race suit drifts him away to safety (only to automatically deflate 15 seconds later plunging him head first into solid ground, a timely reminder of the effects of gravity), watches it cartwheeling across the kitty litter into the barrier thus reducing it to an highly expensive piece of 'action art' that the machine has only experienced, in the words of that well known crooner and 'Twit' Elton Musk, an 'unscheduled rapid disassembly' which can only be describes as an unmitigated success demonstrating to the motorcycle buying punters that what crashes on Sunday sells on Monday.
