THE ENDORSEMENTS

owner Sheikh Mohammed
“Of the above 10 only one can be considered banning for life. In fact the only reason he has not been banned for life is because of the huge amount of money he puts into the game. It’s about time the BHA grew a pair and told this kidnapper (a UK judgement found) where to go. Scaredy-cats.” – Homer Simpson

broadcaster Tony McCoy
“He never criticises jockeys when they have a bad ride. Never tells us anything that we don’t already know. Considering the amount of money he’s earned over the years, you would think he might cheer up occasionally!” – Purwell

broadcaster Francesca Cumani
“Some may find her attractive; I don’t. Some may like her voice; I don’t. Some may say she’s there on merit; I would argue that it’s nepotism more than talent. So far, all very subjective. But what everyone, I would hope, can agree upon is that she doesn’t add much to the programme: her knowledge of form is limited and of betting even more so. Her paddock comments are all clichés and she often struggles to make any sense at all. Sorry, Cesca, but it’s off to Mars for you.” – Gladiateur

trainer Mick Easterby
“Described by some as ‘legendary’ is an overstatement. Now, at nine years short of a century, this withering and boisterous so-so trainer has long passed his sell-by date. Just one classic win to his name (back in the distant 70’s) and a few cups scattered here and there. No new tricks from the old dog. When milk (or Mick) turns to cheese, it should be binned. He must fully hand over the reigns and title to David. So, he should immediately hang up his riding boots on his snaggle-tooth and jack it in this Easter … bye.” – Ghost Of Rob V

broadcaster Ed Chamberlin
“100 words on Ed Chamberlin. Those are 100 more than I would ever wish to hear from him as racing’s primary face on terrestrial television. Years of working for Sky Sports (glorified boxing or WWE promoters who wish to find drama where there is none) have left him resembling a Gigginstown cast-off trundling around Sedgefield. If Blackmore wins, we must hear how amazing she is. Because the story of a top jockey winning a top race is apparently irresistible theatre. His disappointment is palpable whenever his pre-conceived narrative is foiled. Let’s have a presenter who treats this as a sport.” – The Krypton Factor

” His disappointment is palpable whenever his pre-conceived narrative is foiled.”

This is the main reason to keep Ed. “Sadly, it was not to be”.
😆

[IanDavies]

There are IMO some beautifully-written endorsements here, tbf.

I might, or might not, agree with them, but I absolutely cannot fault their savage style!

As this is Easter will the evicted party be resurrected in a few months?

Ps, why Bath?

All the answers can be found on the original thread in The Lounge.

I had a very busy day today
but encountered a little bit of spice at 2145 as I walked down a pavement very near my home, and on my way home, as a woman approached me, looking quite elegant in a beige white coloured coat and of slightly older years. She has a spread of blond hair and trailing behind her she was wheeling a small case about 8 x 12 inches on wheels. I could see immediately it was Debbie Harry and she was puffing on a cigarette not puffing but drawing on it. I took in the wide face and the structured cheek bones.Her voluminous hair was thin only at the ends and slightly poor of texture. She did not look at me once. I looked behind to take another sneaky look as she passed by and she in turn was taking a backward look at a very plush Mercedes van where six people had alighted with luggage and making for the Lansbury Hotel. It quite made my day to spend a few uninterrupted moments with Blondie. It was very near to where I had unexpectedly seen Marianne Faithfull’s rather sombre face maybe 10 years prior. One way or another it was all rather special
I have been quietly following this epic thread in the lounge observing from a short distance as I did Debbie.

I don’t like Fergie or the Shiek but it’s got to be Dunne for me

Can you add Richard Hoiles to the list, please!

[IanDavies]

I’m afraid not.

The opportunity was there for you to enter the contest at its inception and to nominate him, but even if you had you then would have needed to gather support from the other contestants.

I might not be a fan myself, but he’s not sufficiently disliked by your TRF brethren/peers to make the eviction poll gig!

( Answer the last three words of my last post )

I love ya Father Jack
You’re sh*t full
of daddy cr*p

It was hardly blond on blond
but if you count white then ?
….
and Will Smith you can
slap the gene God who removed
a portion of my golden mane
that attracted me late in
life to large fitting baseball caps.

I have never bet with Fred
but he’s not the sort of
person I would have tea with
…I may change my mind before
the witch hour !
