Reading the results.

Postby Piccsnumberoneblue » Wed Apr 22, 2015 2:03 am

Did anybody else hear the guy reading the results on Saturday on Sky Sports? As he got to the Scottish lower league scores he added a score line.
"Recognition 1 Deja Vu 1"
Was it a bet? Was it his favourite gag? Was he proving a point that nobody is listening to see how Montrose have got on? Very strange, but fair play to him.
It reminded me of a friend of mine who was a guard, who would add in stuff whilst announcing station stops, eg "calling at Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Leeds, Milky Jugs, Selby and Hull". Very juvenile but sort of amusing.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

I heard that and thought I was hearing things, I even looked at the screen to see if it was a name of some random Scottish team.

Brilliant. It was your friend? Tell him to continue the good work if he is still in the job. Nothing juvenile about it my friend.

That's funny!

When I worked for a local newspaper years and years ago, me and a friend at a newspaper in another town took turns to come up with "impossible" words that we both had to squeeze into an article in next day's paper. It could be quite a challenge getting a word like 'incommensurable' into a text about a play at the local theater or a local council meeting.

Nobody mentioned it all so I rewound it to check I had heard correctly. I was expecting Stelling to make a crap gag like "Deja Vu got a point away from home . . . . Again"

I used to work with a guy who was manager of Glossop North End and we used to do a similar thing with match reports for the local paper. The challenge was to get as many football cliches in as possible. Sick as a parrot, game of two halves, David and Goliath battle etc etc. It brightened up a Monday morning and kept us from actually doing any work for a while.
