First rule of the forum, never pull anyone up on spelling or grammar unless your spelling is perfect. ;)

Second rule, there is no first rule.

Sorry Sir,
I really did not mean to upset you.
You really have drawn the short straw in life, a Lancastrian and a teacher.
Out on early pension maybe and still grumpy.
Oh, I am 77 and entitled to be both flatulent and a whinger that what younger people expect of us wrinklies.
Now take your own expert advice and put me on ignore if you can.
 
Anyway ignoring all the nonsense and back to the important stuff of our wonderful Olympian doing our nation proud

After yesterday's amazing day with brilliant gold medals for Whitlock and then Kenny with golds also for Murray in an epic match plus Rose in the Golf today has already started brilliantly for GB plus a guarantee Gold in the Finn Class

Fantastic Bronze in the Hammer followed by an breathtaking performance by Charlotte Dujardin in the Dressage to retain her title tonight the GB ladies have their quarter in the hockey plus Cavendish going for a medal in the Onmium

With the medals continuing to roll in maybe GB need to change their target a touch - they could end up with more than they did at London which would be an amazing performance by them all

Did you hear the BBC Interviewer filling in time while waiting to speak to Charlotte Durjardin after her win?
She obviously is a Dressage fan and stated that there's far more to winning the Dressage than simply picking up a Tennis Racket or a Golf Club.
No doubt the Dressage was brilliant but thought it was very unprofessional to disrespect Murray and Rose like that.

I have a niece who is good at dressage....it is really hard work and very skillfull.
She is up at 5am every [yes every] morning does a days work as a teacher then back to the stables for more work.

Agree re commentators remarks.

Inverdale [yes again] to Murray.......Andy Murray the first person to win two tennis gold medals.
Andy Murray......no.....I think Serena and Venus have four each.:lol:

Maybe there is more to it than playing tennis and golf ?

Seems it's just an opinion held by someone as opposed to be disrespectful unless the interview talked about Rose and Murray directly

Plenty of here have dismissed dressage - that's not them being disrespectful it's just having an opinion

I think you wanted to reply to Señor Cumber, not me. Although feel free to put me on your ignore list if you want, I've put myself on mine.;)

She's talking about winning a Gold and singles out Golf and Tennis, she couldn't be talking about anyone else but Rose and Murray.

Personally have no issue with any Olympian, nobody gets to the Olympics without complete dedication and a tremendous amount of hard work,

No problem though just a question as I thought a BBC commentator should act a bit more professional than some folks on a forum.

That explains everything.
My sincerest apologies.
 
Do you think you could create another thread to talk about all your nonsense please guys - cheers

Back to the Olympics

Brilliant ride from Trott in the Pursuit - overtaking her opponent

Now time to see if Cavendish can get a medal

Synchronised hypocrisy (on your part)!

The most consistent hijacker of threads on the Forum.

So your action is to do exactly what you are accusing me off - what exactly does that prove on your part then ?
