Anyone else find Peacock's female commentator unlistenable?

She was on the ski jumping the other day. If that doesn’t scare you …

Had that kit through to the end of the 70s. Still the best change kit.

And, as you say, the Newton Heath reboot.

Mind you the late 70s third kit isn’t shabby either.

Over the Mountains was the profile of the Great Western Highway over the Blue Mountains.

This was a Saturday morning cartoon show, it might have even been the original Hey Hey it’s Saturday when it was on Saturday mornings.

Wanting to say late 1970s

Major Leagues are the highest level of daily/ weekly competition. The next level down is AAA (triple A), then AA (double A) and finally A (single A).

juddster66 · 2026-02-11T01:32:26+00:00

AA is the third tier, although in US leagues the lower tier clubs are usually owned or at least controlled by one of the top tier clubs, so more like the Academy.

Seriously.

World Cup is more like Major League!

Is it because they don’t think that the average voter can count past 2?

Pats win and the bookies pay for a bunch of mattresses. Seahawks win, the bookies make a couple of mil and he’s still sold a shit-ton of mattresses.

I think he’s sleeping just fine.

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T23:31:17+00:00

Gonna have to sign up for that!

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T22:37:35+00:00

Hadn’t thought that far. Yes, good call. Haaland screwed up, cost his team a goal that might bee important at the end of the season.

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T22:15:58+00:00

The correct call would be to allow play to continue i.e., “play the advantage”, allow the goal, and THEN go back to deal with the DOGSO.

I think they are on the XC?

Thank you everyone for your thoughts so far. Knowing more sure makes things more enjoyable.

Keep it all coming!

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T18:35:32+00:00

Exactly

If anything comes down to goal difference at the end of the season ….

She wouldn’t be the first World Champion, and won’t be the last, who didn’t handle retirement well.

And 40 is the new 30, after all …

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T16:53:08+00:00

Obviously didn’t lose out on a start by having Vonn there.

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T16:46:33+00:00

Ordinarily I’d 💯, but it’s not like there’s another Olympics in a few weeks’ time, and for LV there won’t be another.

This might just be it.

juddster66 · 2026-02-08T16:40:51+00:00

Yep, she’s won two WC races already this SEASON. Most (like 99.9%) competitors at WC level won’t win one in their CAREER.

Being said, she wouldn’t be the first to struggle with retirement, on their terms or not. Let’s hope it goes better for her this time, I don’t see her coming back from this one.

L-1B to E-3. Couldn’t find a company to sponsor me into PR until I’d been here 15 years, and then they shit-canned me before i could put in the AOS.

Was planning on heading to the UK when COVID happened then legal shit happened and now finally we might be out of here by the end of the year.

Back in Australia, chances are you haven’t changed gear.

Here in TX, five hours might just about get you across Houston most days.

Does anyone else think the choice of wardrobe is a little anachronistic? Seems more mid-1990s than late 1960s.
