I know what you mean, I couldn't stop laughing the other day when the Dwight Yorke received a volley right in the wedding tackle and the commentator said "Looks like he's got one in the Michael Ballacks." This may not sound funny to our members across the Atlantic but on our side bollocks is another term for wedding tackle. Plus Michael Ballack plays for Germany.

I love some of commentators on the beeb, typically, fantastically british.
Sadly for us, the only thing we really get with their commentary is the Eurovison song contest, and Terry Wogan makes it watchable....barely.
Where can I get that man's job?

LOL true!

No one does it quite like them.
Australians have a hard time sounding intelligent when being dry. We just sound.....aussie.
But nowhere near as bad as the 'Australian' girl from the Fawlty Towers episode. Give us some credit!

Nah....the best I can come up with is that little canadian kid from a Simpsons episode, where Bart gets put into remedial class:
When Bart ask what he was in for he say "I moved here from Canada, and they think I am a little slow, eh?."



I'm just ! After all, you guys did produce William Shatner.
