No you haven't, because I've got some of them.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 8:19 amI loves M Banks, got them all.weeksy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 8:12 am I bought 3 books by Iain M Banks as people rave about him. I've tried 1-2 of his previously and felt i recall they were mostly gibberish, but thought i'd give them a go as they're highly regarded. Again though, it's just gibberish and complete random bollox, it's not like it draws you into an imaginary world as it throws in far far too many things that you don't know who's human shaped, robot, anything else.. or where they are in terms of planets, universe, it's just way too random.
I'm going back to death and violence.
If you want sci-fi with a bit of death and violence, try Neal Ashers Agent Cormac series, starting with Gridlinked.
John Scalzi's Old man's war series is good too (little bit less death than Asher tho)

Unknown footy expert commentators.
I'm all for equal rights, but for equal skills.
Just watching the footy and the expert is some lady I've never heard of.
If I'm watching any sport, I want to know and respect the expert's opinion to add to the enjoyment.
She might be very nice, but full of clichés and annoying
I'm all for lady presenters etc, but not the experts
So I've swapped to South African TV.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
If you'd have found out her name and looked her up, you might find she is actually an expert? I've heard a lot of male commentators spout a ton of clichés and be incredibly annoying!!Yorick wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:32 pmNo idea.weeksy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:29 pmAnd her name?Yorick wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 8:24 pm Unknown footy expert commentators.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
She hasn't played the men's game at top level.
When I'm watching MotoGP I want someone like Hodgy commentating. Someone I've followed 30 years.
Not some club racer.
Suzi Perry does the linchpin very well, but leaves the expert bits to Hodgy & co.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
WTF. She may have won multiple world cups as a woman which makes her every bit an expert in football. Sarina Wiegman is the Englands womens manager, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarina_Wiegman won multiple trophies, managed the Netherlands and England in euros and world cups... is she not an expert then because she's not played as a man ?

Has she played the womens game at top level? I mean, they do play more football and less falling around pretending to be injured

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I'm not sure any commentator is needed.
I've managed to watch football matches at the ground, been to GPs and other motorsports events without commentaries and it's been fine.
There's the odd gem of course, "the batman's Holding the bowler's Willey but Tommy Cooper did comedy so much better.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I've heard expert commentators talking absolute bollox. They don't have exclusive rights on accuracy, or any guarantee of it.
Even bland can be a type of character

Let me interupt myself?
Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I told you. I wake up every day, right here, right in Punxsutawney, and it's always February 2nd, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I never have the volume up when watching football. I dont mind the pundits before the match male or female but during the game they are all annoying.

Me too.I tend to turn the screen off as well which makes for an even better experience when the football is on...

I'd be happy for Jenny Tinmouth to commentate on BSB as she's been there and got the t-shirt. Same with Marie Costello at the TT.
